The title says it all. I never started more than the one I play now. Never thought about abusing the 2 week free play period and starting 8 accounts.
PS I love the spell checker too!

I made a second account that I used while I was at the convention. UPS lost my computer, nobody was at the HTC office, and I didn't know my password, so I set up a new account with my web email account. I didn't know the password to my DSL email account either, so I couldn't use the password reminder. Too many damned passwords (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

That reminds me, still need to boot that SOBFDB freeloader off the squad.

I had two accounts when in beta, one with the name of Mark and the other with MarkAT. Reason I did was that while on as MarkAT I spent hours answering questions about how to play the game and wasn't able to fly much and when I just wanted to fly I would use Mark. When it went pay for play I cancelled the Mark account.

When open beta started I signed up with an account, but after a few days I signed up with my current name (same as I use in other sims) and have been using it since.
Some while after it went pay I started yet another one where I was trying out planes I normally don't fly in the arena. I flew it for the two weeks and thats it until I got the cheaper offer on that account. I am not gonna take it.

Back, when I first left JG2 (to return a month later) I opened a parallel account to fly under another handle for a couple of weeks in another country (bishland).
In fact I used it two or three times only, and kept my own account (RAM) open and paid for it.
Thought of it as a "temporal leave" to forget the reasons I had to go from JG2, and to have as much fun as I could in another country with another planes (flew P38 and P51 mainly, and a bit of 109 too).
I never used it again.

I have one of those offers (just checked it). I wont accept it.
Why? because that was a fake to fly by free and forgetting about everything for three days.
I am RAM. I am not XXXXX (I wont say the handle (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)). And so, that offer never was for me, but for an "imaginary" guy that served me to forget about everything.
BTW,is the 10$ offer.
Call me stupid ,but I have honor. I wont accept the 10$ thing, otherwise it would be a cheat.

I was "NoSoup4U" for 2 weeks earlier this year, as I demo'd this sim for about 4 or 5 Warbird friends, however they flew it most of the time when I visited their households. None since.

When my 14 month old baby gets the hang of flying and gunning (in a couple of years (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) ), I hope to open an account for her. Right now she's just the right size for the ball turret!

Had one during the beta... went away.. came back a few months later under a new name as a paying member. New handle was because I hated my old name and I couldn't remember the password.

Hi All,
Been here since V0.37 snafu then snafu now and still can't shoot. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
I reckon you gotta play it straight. Treat others as you expect to be treated etc.....

Think i had 2 before this one, started approx 6 days apart, meaning i had a hard drive crash and reformat hence losing passwords so could not get back in and easiest answer was to open new account which for fun i flew as "Monica" and boy can i tell you some people here have got a serious attitude problem when they see a womans name. Talk about being seriuosly offensive and i dont mean in a sexual manner, like prvt msgs saying F***K off go play with barbie we dont want you here etc.
Was a real eye opener, i tell you its no wonder few women play online sims.
My first account i really wanted to reactivate when i started paying but without password could not be done and when tried to make new one with same name was told name already taken, well yea i know that cos i took it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Also cant get access to the password cos i have changed ISP and when i try to retrieve password its obviously being sent to a closed email addy (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
So playing with a misspelling of my original online name, hence 3rd account so i dont expect to get one of these infamous reduced rate invitations and to be honest i would not use it anyway, in this respect i am in the same boat with Snefens and RAM, personal integrity and honour would not allow me to close this account to take advantage of a misdirected reduced rate offer.
Money is not everything to me.
Damn it means a lot for sure but so does the way i look at myself in the mirror.
I fully understand why HT is doing the account thing its just good management to test the water before fully committing to an idea, and i sure believe when they see what level of uptake they get at different prices then we can all look forward to the same. Maybe it was a mistake to do the guaranteed reduced rate for life thing for the lucky few, if that rate is below what everybody else's will level off at, that will seriously burn at the monetary soul of a few people i guess but if they did not have that clause built in it could have contaminated the results, as it is i guess they gonna be tainted results cos i bet a few if not a lot of you will cancel accounts to take advantage of the reduced rate offers your getting.
Either way i will fly and fight you in AH and you know what ??
Not for one single solitary second will i wonder if your paying less than me !
I just dont give a damn cos i am having fun and thats all that matters.

Cav..
We have a Woman flying with the 357th. As she can kick anyones bellybutton when she flys, she gets my full respect. Also most dont know they got there butt handed to them by a Woman. And if for one moment i found out that she was getting greif from anyone about being a Woman flying AH, id hunt them down evertime i log on.
Remember, people who have no respect for other, have none for themselves.
Dog out...

That's really sad Cav.
yanno...I use to fly as "Bessy" in AW4W (after AW3 had been released) and AW3.
(It's a play on Big-T's P-38 wallpaper "Mean Ol' Bessy" he cracked me up with that during the AW '97 con, ya sickos)
While most players were cornfused I never got any grief from them. I dunno if thats because I was acting "nice" at the time or because of my Invader/P-38/P-47 flying.
That's really sad.

Don't need to. I well aware. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Let's just say the AW4W (for a time anyway after AW3 was released...but before a massive decline which I swear is the reason for it's removal) was a much nicer bunch...of people. Small communities are always better I guess.

And talk about JUSTICE! I've personally heard from two present subscribers who had unused accounts for which they got cheaper offers. Now they'll cancel their $29.95 account and re-up at the lower rate. LOL LOL LOL
Beeg
See my post about a protest. Remember
Hell No We Won't Go (for discreminatory pricing that is)
-
Had a free trial account used for 2 week,with an old handle; then I made another account, mainly for changing handle,and after another two week trial I made it as a 29,95 account....still running...
