#4814 What happened to the Ae community?

Not you, pretty much everyone.

#4808 What happened to the Ae community?

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:23 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

When I first started frequenting this site over a year ago the community was a lot different. The members were kind and understanding. The language was less harsh. Every thread did not erupt into a flame-war.

What happened to that, guys?

I understand a lot of dumb and repetitive questions are asked. I understand that pointless topics are created. But frankly that's no reason to be rude. If you are tired of answering the same question a million times, then don't answer it. It's that simple. Either the player will figure it out(read: use the nifty search feature) or someone else will answer the question. There is absolutely no reason to be hostile. None whatsoever.

Also, a lot of people are getting downright angry as to the bugs. I know it's an addicting game, and seeing ones airline go under via the cruel maws of the aircraft queue bug is throwing away hours of careful planning and playing, but it is just a game, and a BETA game at that. Technically we aren't playing to play, we are playing to debug.

My $.02.

He went away for the week, and figured that Ae was taking up too much of his time, anyway.

#4444 Very high payroll

That is a bug. Your payroll should not be that high.

Damn unions.

#4448 The ability to research routes without buying gates

Posted by everotheleft on 20 June 2005 - 12:46 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

If the developers want to be smug about user suggestions more power to them.

Wow. I wouldn't call it being smug. I'd call it being busy. :-p

However, I do agree. I can't tell you how much I've lost buying gates for routes that don't work.

#31122 Stock Prices

Posted by everotheleft on 12 March 2006 - 03:07 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I worked on the the stock market over the summer, but then I fell off the face of the earth. The system I had used a function of book value and forward profits, plus growth trending to come up with a price; however, they may not be using my implementation.

#7684 Stock price?

Posted by everotheleft on 12 July 2005 - 07:02 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Point taken.

#7623 Stock price?

Your underwriters would force you to split, or at least that is how I sort of have it planned.

#11034 Stock Market and over capacity

Posted by everotheleft on 13 August 2005 - 01:47 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

You will not be forced to go public. Even when public, hold more than 50% of your stock and no one can buy you out.

I don't really understand what you mean by capacity, though.

#31227 So how did your airline go when you started playing?

Posted by everotheleft on 17 March 2006 - 12:36 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Great. Second place pre-reset 1, and that was after not playing for a few months.

#5524 Sale of 5-year old planes

Posted by everotheleft on 26 June 2005 - 01:57 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

What we really need is a more comprehensive system to make sure that one person has one account.

Preventing certain planes from being sold won't do anything when people start using multiple accounts to exploit the stock market or the contract script

#5690 respect in the game

Posted by everotheleft on 27 June 2005 - 02:15 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

He's out of town until Wednesday, he can't do anything until then.

#5739 respect in the game

Miller eventually intends on Ae turning a profit, I suspect that's why he won't take a donation.

#13660 RESET THE GAME

Posted by everotheleft on 03 September 2005 - 06:27 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I think we need to fix the loadfactor bugs, and then reset.

A reset without changing anything wouldn't accomplish much at all, people would just be asking for another reset in 2 months.

#4443 PROOF hahaha! lol, proof that Venture is #1 airline!

Posted by everotheleft on 20 June 2005 - 12:22 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Valuation is very iffy. Period.

#5219 Poll:What do you want to be added

Posted by everotheleft on 24 June 2005 - 01:06 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Having new worlds wouldnt need a new server, it would need the whole game rewritten. Every single SQL query would need to be updated. It would be hell for miller.

On the bright side, the two top requests are liable to happen.
