General Chat / Concerning €1 Routes

At €5 per route, gate expenses will kill ya. 
Although I do indeed agree the break-even price is too low in AM.

99% of airports within 1,000mi of Stockholm connected.

I was booking my holiday a few days ago. It cost €50 to fly one way by BA from London Gatwick - Venice, €25 on Easyjet and closer to €80 on BMI (from Heathrow). Most of my ticket prices are a ripoff! :!:
Like it or not, this game simulates a semi-openskies environment under the free market economy. I do wish Mr Branson got out of my Base #2, a Brit from Base #3 and the incumbant Spanish airline from Base #5! That's called emotion but knowing what this game's about, I can live with it. If I'm the criminal, what about those legitimate players chucking 732s/BAC1-11s or even DC-8s on lots of routes where the equilibrium is already under €300?
Undercutting? Adding supply (by me creating new routes) causes a lower price equilibrium? D'oh.
Stephen, can you magically give me 200x DC-10-10s?
If only I didn't "roleplay" (I'm actually using more emotion that I should this round!), I could be causing misery with Super 12s instead of 10Bs...

Quote from: "Pacific"ALFC has €85m dop, thus the Interstate 85.
Why did you just say that
Because it's out of date.
I've passed to €50mill mark.

The airline industry and pretty much any other industry under the free market economy is competitive.
Airline Mogul is a competitive game. I jumped into underserved focus cities and "moderately" dumped capacity.

Should Moderators be participating in 1 Euro death spiral?
Pacific. You seem to be driving fares down to 1 Euro in all markets. Your goal? What is your incentive to not only be a Moderator (hopefully inclined to support an enjoyable game) but to be driving prices down to 1 Euro?
I don't have a single €1 route. If I'm undercutting by €30 or so on a very crowded route, I'm doing the accelerated price drop strategy.

Another note. Moderators are only responsible for moderating the forums. In the game itself, moderators are the same as any other player and is allowed to do anything within the rules, including but not restricted to dumping 5x 747s to kill a route.

I don't understand why you changed it, Pacific.
It's called marketing and first impressions for first timers, you customer service professional.

Well, my strategy is for those who's too lazy to reset the same routes over and over again.

I do have to agree that saving up for a 737 at this stage is a very poor strategy if one is looking for dop growth. Each to their own though as every player has their own goals and objectives for this game.

It's been fun seeing you in the rankings...and with your dop boost coming in an hour, this will sure be an interesting round.

Since this thread has gone off-topic and the fact that there's another thread already existing for us to boast DOPs, locked.
