SAVE ACES HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seano]

Hey Hitech, this game is really starting to get boring due to lack of players. you guys better start hitting the airshow circuit or something. Do Something Please!!!!!

[mthrockmor]

I'm a broken record but....

I expect there will be a more aggressive advertising campaign after the graphics update. If not, it has been nice flying with you guys.

Rotating in these big maps with current numbers is making a worrisome situation even worse. Its kinda self defeating. As in player logs on, see's huge map with very few Dars, and says "the heck with it" and logs out.

Sure on Thurs. and weekend nights the lads come out but its the other times that worry me. Its the loss of Euro and Asian players that worry. Of all the years its the loss of LWA K/Ds in the last year that worries most.

Still a great flight model model and community. I doubt Im going anywheres soon. But there is an 800 lb Gorilla in the room and we might as well all say we see it.

Yeah i was on 9ish PACIFIC and 47 guys on 20 in the tower and a massive map?! shiferbrains?!

Yeah, but when the solution is 'Move to F2P round based arcade combat', some of us don't want it.

I don't want that either. But what if I told the reason player numbers are declining are some of the anti-fighting/anti-fun dynamics of the game, which many seem convinced are needed to keep players?

(New guys logs in a few times in a week and can't easily find a fight in any arena for various reasons, he's probably not gonna be here any longer than the trial period.)

EDIT: This game has to make itself known to the kind of people who would enjoy it. Classic airplane rags, advertisements on Youtube when people look up WWII plane stuff. Maybe another TV commercial. You almost cannot find this game if you don't know what it is already. Go ahead and Google "WWII flight simulator" and see what you get.

And when people get here, they've got to reliably find action or they are not going to stay. These points are the bottom line of it all.

And R/C magazines and web sites.

Actually AH is an online game and has almost no use as an offline game.  If you Google "WWII flight simulator online" Aces High is the third link.

It was not when I just tried it, didn't even appear on the first page. Curious.

Thankfully, HiTech said this game isn't suited for a F2P business model and I agree.

It appears for me 3rd on the list using the keywords "WW2 online flight sim" and "WW2 flight sim online".

Bing is not as kind as Google.

AH physics combined with a matchmaking program and you have a winner.
