I'm very torn. I said 'somewhat'.

Look at it like this: Maybe the folks at HTC are suffering the dulldrums from doing the same WW2 thing for all these years.  A few fighting kites might juice up their day a little bit.

In any event, I feel confident when I say any new item added to AcesHigh is better for the entire game and the limited item set of a WW1 arena (assuming thats the likely result) most certainly would not detract in any large degree from the other matured features.

Its a win-win far as I can see.

As much as I love WWI I would rather HTC spend their time making the game they have already better instead of having two half ass-ed games. Take a look at what happened to CT. We waited around four years for it and right when things were looking up they cut the cord on it. If they keep doing these side projects and don't improve the core gameplay they are going to end up like WarBirds.

My hunch (if this supposed move is to make sense) is that the WWI game/addition is pretty much ready, already. They have Dawn of Aces and the Red Baron Pizza thing to draw from.  They don't need to re-invent the wheel like with CT.

it would take them about a week to get a couple of beta biplanes in the game judging from some past titles i've played.  :rock

Sure they worked on WWI planes before but go take a look at DoA, the graphics are very crappy. Its going to take them as long or longer to model any biplane. Because of the wing struts, extra wing, and everything else poking out unlike a stream lined fighter. Then they have to skin it, make the flight model, test it, then release it. In that time they could be adding much needed planes that people have been asking for since this game was created.

Dawn of Aces is a great game except for the village idiot (I'm sure you're here too and you know who you are)
and the low numbers. Ten people in doa constitutes a furball, all the fms are screwed and I'm sure HTC will do a good job of it and make it a better game as ien wont fix doa.

I remember WW1 arena in AW3.  It was fun to goof around with when bored but it was never an arena you would get lost in.  This is how it would probably end up for me here in AH2, fun to stop in every now and again but won't do anything for me.  Wouldn't be worth the extensive development imo.

Although like m00t pointed out, if they have something already produced that just needs a little refining that won't cost them a boatload of man hours, then yeah WW1 would be a nice addition.  But if it's gonna be a daunting project, then no probably not worth it in my eyes.

I don't know.. I'm just guessing. I don't think they'd ask inside a WWII game unless it wasn't going to displease these same WWII players. The way that makes sense is if development isn't going to suck AHII dry, which most easily happens if the WWI "game" (they could just add an arena, that'd fit perfectly with doing such a survey) is a walk in the park.... Even if a long one.
