A few wishes to chew on...

Use the ol' imagination Bino, I'm sure you would think of some way! It is a very generic concept and can be implemented in many ways.

I would never use p2p as i dont want thousands of people pinging my puter all the time while I am flying.  it creates lag, lots of it sometimes.

Think he wants AH restructured into more of a free semi-open source WoW gaming environment with advertisers footing much of the bill directly to HTC for unrestricted access to the player base. Like if the free H2H had been expanded to 1000+ (semi-open source) player rooms hosted by any player from wherever and advertisers payed a royalty to HTC to imbed their active sales coade into each new distribution as HTC cranked them out.

Eventualy the AwowH community would hack one of the releases and put up rouge sites and HTC would no longer receive advertising royalties. HTC would spend alot of time in court over intelectual property rights.

Does Myg even play this game under the ID Myg or is he a shill for an HTC competitor?

Myg world of planes is in alpha testing, so set tight and you can go play over there.  I am positive that W.O.P, will be just as good as Aces high.  I won't mind having to set thru 400 battles just to get to my beloved Hog, and then have to pay to get it.  Since all the kids who haven't left the basement and are living on mommy and daddy's credit card will be able to just grab it.  As it stands, aces is about the pilot, albeit some like to fly with training wheels, a person in a hurry can beat a 109 but he has to be smart.  So let's see here uuuuummmmmm, NO.

Maybe over there the CHog won't be perked,UNPERK THE CHog.

Myg, I suggest that you read this:

"HiTech Creations was founded with a simple philosophy by Dale "HiTech" Addink in 1999.  It's not to create a large corporation, a vast gaming network, or a line of online games.  It's just to create one game, but one that is better than any other like it.  Contrary to most companies, our goal is to keep the company small.  We know that with a singular focus and an experienced cohesive team that enjoys its work, the production, service, support, and overall level of satisfaction will be unmatched."

A p2p centric design is not a change in principle/philosophy; but in implementation. Neither is the f2p model, for that matter.

Imagine that money saved/gained (if it was a good amount) spent on getting the current staff to playing more or hiring new people to play in the arena and moderate it? If there were more people to moderate the arena, then most hacking would be kept to a minimum, not to mention the positive social aspects related to having dev's flying around to shoot and reliable moderators around to rely on for help/etc.

Apologies, triple post; epic.

[Tank-Ace]

Sorry, no reason for such a system to be implemented. It would deter new players, be gamey as HELL to see a Marlboro add on a spitfire I just shot down, and I'm sure it would actually get to the point that a fair number of our deicated community would quit.

[guncrasher]

Myg you sound like a cool guy.  so I am just gonna point out to you that allegations of cheating/hacking are not allowed.  it can get you banned from the bulletin board.

as for the p2p perhaps if you researched more about the benefits/savings and presented a concrete proposal, I am pretty sure your idea would be more accepted.  the micro transactions will not happen in the near future and if you really want to know why then perhaps you should research it too.  but the idea of micro transactions are based on a few guys paying beaucoup money to support a lot of guys playing for free.  Kinda like world of tanks.

but seriously I really wish people would stop trying to "fix" something that they have no idea how it works.  hitech is no dummy when it comes to running a company. and he may not be able to spell it but he sure as hell knows how to coad the game to make it fun.

google this and you will have an idea of what problems may arise.

"problems with p2p"
"problems with micro transactions"

I'll give you a quick example of how stupid micro transactions are.  in world of tank a guy killed about 5 or 6 of us using what are called "gold" rounds.  he probably spent about 1 or 2 dollars based on the number of rounds he shot and wasted.  and that was for 1 battle that lasted about 8 minutes.  I heard of some guys spending 3 or 4 hundred bucks in a few months to get to top tanks there.  aces high costs about 170 bucks for the whole year and that gives you access to all the planes and gv.  so which way would you rather go?  micro transactions are depending on a certain type of play that doesn't exist in aces high.

Myp do you CEO and code your own international subscriber game?

If so please enlighten us to your buisness model, vision statement, your real name as said CEO or owner, and name of said game along with your company WEB page. How many staff do you support and are you located in the U.S., Israel, Russia or the EU? How long have you been personaly coding and selling profitable games and how old is your company?

Can you point us to any of your articles in any game or industry periodicals so we may read about your accomplishments and any interviews of you from gaming community journalists. Are you a product of the recent phenomenon of game coding schools for profit or a computer science/programing graduate of a known university?

Afterall you are using an anonymous identity to challenge this game owner over his business model in a manner by which you cannot be taken seriously. If you were the owner operator of a business, or even looking for a coding job, you would have directed your queries to HTC in Texas privately.

Otherwise past this point you are David Wales using another account or a pretty poor Troll.

Two words: WWI Arena.

Hitech certainly isn't a dummy, but he is as human as they come. Things like that creep up on anyone without being seen, despite whatever blocks/etc they put in the way, time just does that.
