The only problem with 'Cheeper is better' is we get guys online that not only can't spell (Cheaper) but have to be squelched constantly due to maturity level (think young, testosteroned boy)   :)

Oh, I forgot to add:

glad for price cut, but cheaper ISN'T always better...

curious to see what happens to maturity level in MA (though sometimes I don't think it could get worse) and affects, if any, on lag with increased ppl on AH servers. Glad HTC setup CA arena for the more serious ppl.

The only problem with that is some of us like the strat element...to me, climbing for 30 min, only to find someone higher than you shoot you down in 30 sec is not my idea of fun, except in situations as TOD or Snapshots.

And you think the 3-7337 kiddies are gonna know how to fly?   ;)  all we're gonna see are tons more incompetent N1K2s and Spits.

their calls of "3y3 r0xx0r j00!" will be followed by "damn, 3y3 $uXx0r!"

Not to mention that other game too much, but...  It was hilarious watching and listening to the r33t kiddies trying to get off the ground and then trimming the plane.  We need to get rid of auto takeoff and combat trim for the kiddies.   ;)

Park a CV off the coast of norway or enable field captures.  You'll have furballs then.  Of course I don't like taking off, getting to the fight in 1 minute (no need to climb, it's at sea level), maybe get a kill or not, die after 30 seconds, then repeat the whole process.   :)  You can't please everyone!

Cheaper IS better...

numbers will rise like foam, and soon we will have the arenas full of people  :)

as I said in other thread........HA-like arena and price cut...this is a dream... :D

Well, they could've done it 1 week before, and that way I'd have saved 15$ ...but I take those $s as well invested.  :)

THANKS HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen the Main Arena with more than 105 people in quite some time....don't know if its because 1) More are busy during summertime or 2) Maybe the 20 or so folks going to the Combat Arena are part of the dropping numbers in the Main.

At any rate, it will be nice to see more folks who wanted to play in the Main have a chance to.  One of my best friends is an American Airlines pilot and he just couldnt validate $30 a month for the few days he is home per month.  Now, though, I think he'll surely plink down the dough and play til the wee hours with the rest of us   :)
