Didn't understand the purpose of those pink colours either.I'll still argue it was supposed to be a shade of red... :lol:
Sorry to spoil the fun, but the last rule in the forum rules reads:QuoteThere should be no discussion about other Airline Games on these forums. This is solely due to the sensitive nature of discussing competitors.http://stephenm.org/smfforum/index.php?topic=8327.0
Without going into names, I started in mid 2005 playing an airline game and really loved it. It had a few drawbacks and other players saw huge potential for improvement. Two other games appeared and I dived straight into playing them (Both of them have now disappeared unfortunately). I felt that if they could do it, some with relatively little experience may be I can too? And thats where AM came about. I'd go into more detail but I have an exam on Air Law and Regulation in the morning that I should be studying for now instead!Didn't understand the purpose of those pink colours either.I'll still argue it was supposed to be a shade of red... :lol:

Hullo everyone,
Quite a few posts made above are similar to my experiences.I am a newbie with an old ID (39535).
While browsing / searching for business/ strategy/ simulation games I came across AM and a couple of other games. Initially , when I tried AM I got deep into red and lost interest as I couldnt understand what to do and how to proceed. I couldnt find any help / tutorial/ forums etc.
Actually I forgot about it altogether, then again searching for some games recently I came across AM again. The game looked familiar and fortunately I could log in again. I joined late in an ongoing public world ( which shall be ending very soon), read and asked a lot, and had started having fun. I am ranked 21 st there now, but not actually doing much there as there is less than 1 year left.
I was curious about brokers, so I managed to become a broker in a private world, which is not that exciting due to the limited number of players there. I just want to become a broker in the beginning of a world which is full of players. Guess, I will have to wait for that.
I actually kind of miss the pink theme. I do like the new scheme, but the pink is nostalgic to me.(http://www.stephenm.org/StephenM/cashflow.PNG)
Stephen, bring back the raining sig xD
Stephen, bring back the raining sig xD
I had to think about that one for a second. I wonder where I could have put it...
Edit: Found it! :lol:

lol, best signature ever.
2007-2008 I think? Been awhile :P
I decided to create a topic where everyone posts how they got here, etc.And Sean didn't tell you of monsters under the bed, neither did I tell you of the true story of "Who's at the Controls?"
Lets start!
This is how I started:
My best friend, Sean, told me about this game: Airline. (he didn't tell me the website!!!)
So i Googled the query: Airline and registered for all these airline companies:
Game A
Airline Mogul
Game B
But none of them were the one he was talking about/
The next day, he told me the website:
mochigames.com
Well...
I tried all the websites i found...
Game A was too much competition and boring
Game B costs me 4 cents a day
Airline mogul was good.
I joined a public world
Set up one route with my Nord @ 20 frequency (maximum it would go)
Leased to planes
Set them at max frequency,too
and got bored
and went away.
A few MONTHS later, i came back, realizing the whole point of the game (i never bother to read the instructions :P )
I came back, set all routes to 1 frequency. BUT
The next day, the world ended :'(
So i joined a private world and started playing the way i am suppose to. With a DOC of only 16M (I thought that was A LOT that time :P ) i ended 3rd place.
Now, in another world, i have a DOC of 50 Million from 1 base (1 base is the limitation :( )
The other world i play in has a limit of 20 bases, 5 foreign. I plan a DOC of at least 150+Million.
And my progress is good. with in a week, i have a DOC of 40 Million and i am first place in the world. (Holiday flight)
Edited by StephenM - To bring post in line with game rules
I remember right around the time I joined, there was a HUGE controversy surrounding the $1 routes. Especially in the single world, they were really popular...until people started realizing that they lost money on them :lol:
