Nice guy.

Looks like another one for the ch200 squelch list....

Seriously thought, I tried WWII online for a while. The problem? There really isn't a sense of community behind it.  Here? I can listen to guys engage tanks, talk about bombing runs, and generally get a sense of the atmosphere going on in the arena.

In WWIIOnline, all I hear are the voices in my head ... "use the force fork.... uuuuuse the fooooooorce"

When prime time is

The generally accepted times considered to be traditional prime time are 8:01 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.Eastern and Pacific and 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Monday–Saturday.

    * On Sundays, prime time begins an hour earlier, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific and 6:00 p.m. Central and Mountain, ending at the same time as on the other six days of the week. Note that for cable networks, such as USA, TBS, and ABC Family, prime time is 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. all seven days of the week.
    * With the addition of newer networks such as FOX, The CW, and MyNetworkTV, they're now considered a common prime separate from traditional prime. Common prime is 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Central and Mountain Monday–Saturday, beginning an hour earlier on Sundays as with traditional prime.
    * Before the FCC regulated time slots prior to prime time in the early 1970s, networks began programming at 7:30 on weeknights. For a historical look at prime time, see History of TV Prime Time

Huh  The terrain is nicer in WWIIOL (what you can see of it through the smog), but the aircraft and clouds are way better in Aces High.

Now enters reality. You have to get up at 4-6:00 AM and be expected to produce at work the next day. Although you could take your chances and explain to your boss that you had to fly an event in a video game the night before that didnt end untill 12:00- 1:00Am , and that why your arse is dragging. i'm sure he'll understand. :lol

Seriously, I realize a lot of you official CM dudes are Pac NW, and your events look very interesting, but dont expect to see a lot of right coasters when they start so late. Imho, you are missing out on a large audience. No biggie I guess HARM is growing. :)

Agreed. But honestly some things in WWIIOL on the ground look "limited" for a lack of a better term. Probably the aged game engine/graphics.

Seriously dude, I live in GMT+12, some of the events are at some really odd hours but I have no problems making them or getting up for work the next day if need be.

Incidentally most nights I don't hit the sack til 1am anyway. Harden up.

Good for you. But realize, some jobs require more than others. Either way, its no biggie. Theres plenty to do on squad night, and thats all that really matters.

One thing I've noticed playing this game is that there seems to be an older player base. If so then I assure you the majority of them are married and have jobs that prevent them from staying up late at night waiting for events.

There should be some scheduled abit earlier for those that have lives.
