Due to the current economic downturn...

[Stalwart]

Starting today at the 4pm switchover, we are going to change the arena format to go to a single late war arena. Due to  the current economic downturn our main arena play numbers no longer justify a second late war arena and we'll be dropping the 2 arena system until such time that it is again needed.  

Additionally we are currently developing user spawned arenas to serve as an expanded and HTC hosted version of the old 8 player H2H.  The introduction of this feature will also lessen the need for a second late war arena.

If I had only $30 each month for entertainment, I'd purchase a Netflix account and Aces High.

But, I'll have to buy a new computer and video card before I upgrade past version 2.13.

Dump Netflix and save that $30 a month.

Netflix is only 10 bucks a month. 

You people that pay for cable television pay what again?

[Stalwart]

Netflix is a steal in value.  So is Aces High.

Okay, we're trying to explain player number decline in terms of an economic downturn, but how likely is it that $15 dollars a month is breaking anyone? You'd almost think player numbers would go UP because sitting at home and playing Aces High is so damn cheap.

I play on a cheap dial-up connection that costs me 15 a month. Its not perfect, I get way too many discos, but its better than the sattelite connections of certain players who will go nameless....

Yeah, and I'd cancel the damn television before I canceled AHs but alot of guys with wife and kids probably can't do that...

I've always played on a 20 dollar Saitek twisties, but yeah, if I liked rudders I probably wouldn't play without 'em.

You can get a Fighterstick, Pro throttle, and Pedals for <$300 on Amazon. New too.

[LLogann]

Or PBR, sure... But why get the good stuff when you can buy cases of Mickey's for the same as a 6 of Bud...
