Hi all!

 

I'm not sure if this is the correct spot to post this, but I am working on a research project for my Rhetoric and Composition class, and I decided to choose Airline Empires and its community as my topic. A little strange, but I really enjoy my time here and want to learn more about the game.

 

I would need to interview some active AE users, and if any moderators/developers are seeing this (talking to you, Yuxi :rofl2: ), I'd absolutely love to interview you. You can contact me either just by messaging me on here, or contacting me on Discord. My username there is just blathers. Thank you all. I really like AE, and hope that I can gain some insight on the community and its storied history through this project.

I woudn't say I'm part of any "community" but for some reason I've been playing this game for over a decade. I'm situated in Australia & I turn 57 in a couple of months. Whenever I feel a little embarrassed about playing computer games at my age, I just tell people that this is what I do instead of going to the pub & getting drunk every night like a normal 50-something year old. Happy to help your assignment if you want.

Sorry for being inactive the past few days! Essentially I'm researching the community more specifically than the game. I'd wanna interview people about how they learned about the game, how interacting with the community has changed their experience playing, and what they think the community adds to your experience and memories of playing AE (alongside a few other questions). If you're familiar with the concepts of "discourse communities", that's what I'm studying. I was allowed to pick anything and I've been playing a lot of AE lately, and this community fits the bill pretty closely for what my advisors wanted out of this project.  I'll DM you if you're interested in answering a few questions about the game (or I can just post them here if that is easier)
