See Rule #14

politics race and religion? what did i say? and 2nd... arent political discussions allowed again but i didnt even go into that topic...

[Krusty]

Yes, because posting a picture of a statue of Jesus and referring to that religion has nothing to do with Rule 14, eh?

This has probably been asked many times. And I know I'm gonna get a lot of bad responses, but $15 bucks a month for just one game? It's a little extreme. $10 would be much more, you know, smart. $15 a month is more money than web hosting. And besides, it would probably get HiTech more customers. And don't whine that it would attract n00bs. Don't you remember when you were a n00b and couldn't even takeoff/roll correctly? And look at yourself now, you're level bombing bases in that Ar234 of yours by the minute. Just saying, $180 a year is a lot for a game. But, maybe, I might pay 15 bucks a month if you allowed Paypal and by the month payment (no auto renew). The sale depends on user preference. Just getting my idea out there.

And no, I'm not a n00b anymore. I can level bomb, dogfight, dive bomb, fight in tanks and kill ships fine.

15 bucks a month aint that bad. It is my freaking cable/internet bill that needs to drop.

[Ghosth]

15- 20$ a month for hardware, if you save it will in 3 years buy you a new computer.

ISP  will run from 15$ a month on up. My DSL bill is almost double that.

You can't buy much of a boxed game for less than 50$, if its good it may last you a month.
Unless its really good in a couple of months you'll stop playing it.

AH costs 15$ a month, is free to download and try.
50 cents a day. If you think thats too expensive you need to get a job.
And start paying your share of the bills around the house.

I need to disagree on the second part here. Yes most games that are good will stay in the 50-60 dollar range but many of these games will hook you for months on end and if played online they will hook you for more time... along with this all these good-great games will whisper in your ear at night until 3 months after dropping it you have this desparate NECESSITY to go back and play it again...

In the 5 years of playing, I have had the inconvience of having to call HTC twice to restart my membership, once that my card was stolen, and the other the card was expired. It would truley suck if every month I go to log in and cant because my payment is due. btw..you DO have the option of paying month to month I think**
As far as the $10.00/mo being reasonable, I dont buy it.  I have the honor of giving my cable co. 5$/mo just to have a remote. $15 a month for a package I hardly watch because when I do have the time, nothing interesting is on.
Here you get the gaming experience, the chance to do it with a bunch of friends and a channel (200) that always has some good drama flick playing 24/7
$15.00 is not bad really

Ok 321bar, I'll bite, Name the games  that keep dragging you back in again and again?

Granted most people will find 1 or 2. For me its Fallout 3, but do enlighten us.

Before AH, I was absolutley hooked on MOH. Took me a while and got my $$$ worth playing singleplayer and then dabbled in the multiplayer arena.
There I decided to pay 15.00/mo to play on a dedicated server that would gaurantee me a spot in the public arena that would only support a limited amount of 'non' paying members. The amount of hacks that would come on was unimaginable. Spawning in only to get shot with the wallhacks 2 seconds, People jumping off the screen..it was disgusting. I find that to be the reason most of my past multiplayer addictions to be gathering dust right now.
Ive stayed with AH because its stable. Aside from the next to nothing lag issues I have experienced with other players, we have a VERY close community compared to other games and I enjoy that the most.

[RipChord929]

Hell, I'd pay $30 a month or more, if HT could work in some of the stuff talked about on these BB's, but 15 is pretty cheap for what ya get, no doubt... At least till ya get bored with it!

I keep comin back, so do many others, even after months or yrs away... They must be doing something right...
There are some things that are, IMO, way overdue tho.. They know, and I'm sure they'll get around to them, eventually...

[LLogann]

AGREED!

Hell, I'd pay $30 a month or more, if HT would not allow children or new people on the BBS, nor allowed to talk ingame.

Airflyer, I thought the ol' lineprinter art was gone forever, thanks for your post. Now, where's that old copy of #Babydoll I stashed away back in 1971 . . . ?

 

Simba, you're full of surprises- come on back to AH2 sometime and meet the new guys.  You'd be surprised at how much things have changed!

Ok 321bar, I'll bite, Name the games  that keep dragging you back in again and again?

Granted most people will find 1 or 2. For me its Fallout 3, but do enlighten us.

Fallout 3, CoD series, MoH pacific assault, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, the old C&C games, Sim City, the Mechwarrior Series, Civilization, and the Age of Empires series... i can think of others in time...
Edit: i'm not saying all of these will hook me with online play by the way...Some are even great offline
