Bye, guys.
« on: January 19, 2011, 03:34:02 PM »
As of January 2011, I discontinued my subscription. I've been paying in the last months without logging into arenas even once, so I'd say the game totally lost its appeal to me.

Maybe it's because I keep coming back home too tired from work, maybe it's because flying for real is so much beautiful that any simulation loses its charm, maybe it's the game itself, with arenas populated by hordes and scorew.....s (last poll, with B29 as winner, showed me pretty clearly who the average AH player is, today), poor and not (anymore) stimulating gameplay, maybe it's all of this. In any case, I don't feel like playing AH anymore and I don't see why I should keep paying the subscription; I'll keep visiting the forums, from time to time.

It's been great to be with this community in the last years, I've met some great guys in here (you know who you are) and I hope that one day I'll meet you again in the virtual sky.

Take care, guys, and bye!

<S>!

Only way to fix the average player is to beat him like a baby seal till he gets better  :devil

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Don't despair.  I quit years ago after I burned out, things were just getting routine (however, most of them still make "the mistake", don't ask me--not telling.)  Now I've returned and found that most everybody is better than me and I have a whole new learning curve to climb (that's most of the fun for me.)  <S> and best wishes.

Sorry to see you go. My best to you and your family.
Like you I was not keen on the B-29, but a new aircraft if better than none. :)
