Since the latest opened game world, Modern Times #2, filled out to maximum number of players very quickly a next new game world will be opened soon. The date is set to thursday 29th April, at approximately 12.00 UTC.
Scenario of the this game world will include the whole world, and all aircraft models, and starting year is around year 2000.
Good news!
And how many people will be in this game?
Also, what about game speed - it will be same that MT2?
looks like another DOMT+TMT again? But the time line is much later this time
Looks more like ATB to me... Finally... it has been over half a year now since the last one ended....
Unfortunatley Ill be in Barcelona at the starting Date :-\
could we please postpone the start till 3pm UTC?
I would like to ask those peoplo who are already playing Modern Times #2 to give a chance for those who couldn't join the new game, to join that one.
For example, i have classes in the morning (Brazil is UTC -3), so i won't be able to join in the "moment the game is open", like many other people (Marteen Otto will be traveling).
You will have plenty of time to join the world, it will not fill up in minutes nor hours.
Oh wow!! I'm so excited! I'm definitely leaving modern times 2 for this!
Any idea how many players there will be??

Here we go.... Thats the first one to pull out early. If it was up to me I would force you to stay where you are. You joined that particular scenario for a reason. If you want to leave your giving up... You might give your airline another try with diffrent tactics before pulling the plug. St. Mary's (UK) is absolutely competition free. But there are many, many mid sized airports to build up a 60 aircraft company and give your compet***ors a seriouse headache.
Will the new game have 4 legs???
Make an educated guess....
No
Version 1.2 x.x.x.x.x perhaps
225 players with 30 mins game time.
:)
I just hope it doesn't fill up before 3pm UTC! (ie when I get home from school)

1: what's up your ass? 2: I inquired about the time frame for this new game world that would open up after MT2 before the MT2 even started and was given no exact time frame of when the game world would take place. I was given no choice, but to join MT2 assuming that there would be no future game worlds that took place in the beginning of the 21st century. Thankfully I can leave MT2 and join a world that I'm more accustomed to that's fairly similar to MT1. I'm not giving up and would like to stay in both worlds if it didn't cost me more tokens. There was no clear or concise plan for scenarios for the next game world so it gave many of us no choice but to join MT2 in fear that the next game world would not be what we were looking for.
Looks like an attempt to make Jet Age collapse?
Im still having fun in Jet Age. There is a lot of available hubs right now
I believe I might switch from MT2 to this one mainly for the fact that 21st Centrury is much better for a LCC with higher demand and more fuel efficient aircraft. I would stick around in both but my credit limit is low so its one or the other. I am yet to decide
Hi Guys i'm very new to this but exiting one world to enter another doesn't make much sence especially on a cost basis, aren't credits something like one tenth of a euro for a week, in my country a coffee costs 4 euro (40 weeks play)?
The actual price of 1 Credit depends largely on how you buy them, more is cheaper in relation. (10Cr = €5 => 1Cr = €0.5, or 50Cr = €22.5 => 1 Cr = €0.45).
But let's assume you bought a 10-pack .. You've played some game world for 3 weeks, which is 5+1+1 Cr (5 to join and first week, then 1 per week), and then join another world, 'costing' you another 5Cr .. Naturally you "lose" there 4 weeks (or 4Cr, or €2) of play time in the other world with the same Credit amount if you leave the other world alltogether and join a second world instead. As the Cr system is made so that the longer you stay in a game world the cheaper it will be for a single day, which s natural - overall the game cost is indeed the about €0.07 - €0.14 / day (again depending on how long you play in a world, and how you bought the credits etc, but averaging about 0.1€/day). So jumping back and forth between worlds isn't that recommended.
But life's full of choices ... And you can also play in many worlds at the same time too.

Do what? :laugh: There are a full 24 hours sami gives us for everyone who wants to join. Set your clock, know how your game plan is going to start, and start it, if its that important to you. I think what you are asking is just, well, silly for lack of a better word. Everyone will do as they please as they always do. AND WE DO. ::) P.S. Would someone gimme 20 slots at ATL please? :)

Any surprises or enhancements? :)
Does anybody actually know what scenario the next game world will be? Also, I'd appreciate it if you could spell out the full name rather than just giving the acronym (we're not all familiar with AirwaySim jargon ;D)
And also, given that it's starting around the year 2000, does anybody have any suggestions for cash-cow planes that one might find on the used market? Is the strategy generally to go for capacity and range?
Thanks,
Auerbacs
If Sami keeps to names already used then it might be ATB, which is Air Travel Boom (although these generally start mid-90s) so it may get a new name.
737s, A320s and MD-80s are always the best to get going I've found, but some larger aircraft work well too like A300s/B757/B767s etc. It depends on the initial market you target. The players that grow the fastest just stuff C-class and F-class seats into high business/first demand routes at the start and then reconfigure later. A 'jammy' tactic I think, but it works. I personally don't like it as it's not very realistic, but it depends what you want from AWS.
Dave :)
I still have 15 mins 'till the bell rings! Hope it starts! I just can't wait!
*hitting F5*
excited too!!! cant wait ;D
Already full. I had hoped to make my comeback to the game with this scenario. I guess not...

In fairness it took about 36 hours to fill up. Much slower than MT2
Yes, that was still a bit faster than expected.. But you can try the other worlds if you prefer, spaces in them too..
Sami did give a 5 day warning...
