How much is skype again?
« on: April 24, 2014, 04:26:27 AM »
I seem to login (after hours) and all i do is talk BS to a few squad members as the game just isn't there, with under 50 players and around 20 that are in planes, isn't skype free?

Its a shame only for my bank account that i have paid for over 12+ years but cant be bothered to play as i just chase a single red dot that are strat bombers already at 20k etc. I used to login drooling over the fun i would have but that's a long time ago, even FSO the best part of this game i haven't done in ages, sigh.

I really hope this new upgrade gets players back as i couldn't give a flying F about graphics but game play but with out players its a waste of time.

Flame on!

Based on current events on the BBS, I recommend the following for your BBS account

"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered.  Those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid.  Thus, the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win." - Morihei Ueshiba

I tried that, but I'm feeling much better now.

Wouldn't you have to arrange for everyone you know in game to also get on Skype? :old:

Yep i would bother with skype if the game wasn't so boring but the point is i still let my CC get charged for what i ask the game owners? I just logged into squad night to talk cheese with squadies guess what no one on, yawn. Its dead i will now get skype and save some cash.
Its not 1988,  any more 2 week BS isn't holding me to this non event of a game i did 13 years of payments but now its just a load of crap.

It seems you may be in the game for the wrong reasons to me. Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy chatting with squaddies and friends in game, and there are certainly no end of aspects that i find frustrating, but whilst the people in game are great in the most part, it's the opportunity to behave like the child running around the playground with my arms out, making machine gun noises that keeps bringing me back :airplane:

Its a shame only for my bank account that i have paid for over 12+ years but cant be bothered to play as i just chase a single red dot that are strat bombers already at 20k etc. I used to login drooling over the fun i would have but that's a long time ago, even FSO the best part of this game i haven't done in ages, sigh.

I really hope this new upgrade gets players back as i couldn't give a flying F about graphics but game play but with out players its a waste of time.

If you fly US late night exclusively, I feel your pain bro.  If you fly during US Primetime, you are being a primadonna because despite there being historically low numbers, there are still fights to be had most, keyword, most nights.  Late night when the herd thins out and you can't find a fight, it's logging time since switching sides is out of the question.
