Hello
Is there anyother unlucky man that couldn't join the new game (i was on route to Rio de Janeiro, damn) and couldn't join the new game in time?

Sami

You're probably not the only one. But you'll have to hang on for some time, since there's a need to balance the start/end dates of the worlds a bit ..so that they don't all start/end near each others.

Oh okay then; so I'm guessing a new game in the next few days then? I missed out because I was sleeping over my mate's house haha!

When this new game will start??? Witch day?

Sami, I have to be honest here, why didn't you just start two game worlds at 400 users a piece, quite obviously the demand would be there for both, and it would also be a little more realistic/competitive/fun for the users.

I'm not sure I follow your logic on the 500 users in one game world, which filled up within hours, then telling those of us who have a life and don't constantly re-set your website that we have to pound sand "for quite sometime" because you don't want to open another gameworld is rather, well insulting to say the least...

how was he to know that this would happen?

take it easy on him.  you'll just get into the next game that has less competition.

Also, you had warning that it was coming.  You have no one to blame for not getting in.

Well, I did get in without constantly reloading the page. I think it was like several hours after the launch, which was announced, btw.

Yea I joined about 10 hours after its launch, it was at about 420 then.

Well i had a warning that it was coming, BUT, i have a life, i have to work, and my work is like a full-time military-academy training, so i really should ask 'excuse me liutenent, i have to stop my flying lesson to join the new airwaysim game world'...

I think that many others players have obligations and we can't check the game everytime.

wait a week or two and some slots will probably open as people bankrupt out.

Yes and all the good airports are full, and airlines are established.

I recieved NO WARNING that this game world was going to open, I check the site a little over a week prior to it starting and there was no warning of the exact start date, and I recieved no email of it's opening either.

IN ANY CASE

Two game worlds of 400 is better than ONE of 500, both would be full, and Sami makes more money, and the game worlds are more competitive.

Sami is getting unnecessairly flamed here:

1.  On Apr 9th, Sami posted here https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,19874.0.html that beta would last 7-10 days (it went 9) and a game would start after.  
The current game was announced here on the 15th  https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,20022.0.html  to open the next day.  

2.  This new game world was also announced and in red in every active game under EVENTS on the dashboard.

3.  Since this is the first rollout of 1.2 why would Sami start more than one game ?  Don't you think that he'd want to get more bugs ironed out first?

And sadly, you spelled Lieutenant wrong.  Don't get too hungry and hit the "LUNCH" button and destroy the world.

Listen, when I'm involved in any active gameworlds I don't come on this site.

I do recieve emails telling me game worlds are ending, but I recieved no prior notice one was starting.

Like I said, I have a life, a job a family, and when the last word was "It would be some time before a new game world starts" I expected an email or some notice to come and check.

For Sami he got his 500 users quite obviously, I see no reason why two game worlds would create any more problems, or at least not many more than 500 users would.


Sami

The email announcement was tad late this time, agreed.

But as announced also in the email, the next world is not starting just quite yet as there's a need to balance the start/end dates a bit so that all worlds do not start (or end) at nearly same times (like we had just on these prev. worlds..).

I find statements like this offensive.  I have a full time job, a part time job, a house to take care of, a dog and two cats, and the wife. 

It isn't hard to check the game once per day as part of your morning email/facebook check.

I'll second this.  Just because you can't start the game right this minute is no reason to insult the 500 people who did manage to join the game.

There's an open spot right now
