Hehe yeah I was being sarcastic :)

I think you could narrow it down to like everyone above Honor 40-50... I mean it's unlikely that someone will pick up the game again after spending only like 2-3 weeks with it back in 2003...

Would still be a huge task, maybe you could automate it but I believe that's called a spam bot lol :) FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

The only way to actually contact battletracker users without Homey being involved is logging into battletracker and sending individual emails/private messages to all players that used to play AA

I have nothing planned on the weekend so...

That's so cool, you guys do a really good job! Please never think that you have to change the game too much, it really is great like you have it now with all the minor tweaks. I think most people enjoy it because it's old school and different! :)

That actually sparks another important question: What would happen if the Tracker suddenly shuts down completely? Would you be able to implement a "tracking" system on this website? I just have little knowledge in web development, so I don't even know how the tracker works in the first place... :)

I am trying my best to get the word out... I even sent physical letters to some friends I had in the US two weeks ago (their email accounts didn't work anymore but I still had their address), informing them about AA 2.5. The response has been good!

Hi there,

I moved from Europe to North America last year and found that there are way more European servers than American (don't get me wrong, we have some great ones over here too, like the guys from IronLungs - cheers!).

Considering that this game was so popular in the US I find the lack of players and servers from N. America a little bit odd.

Another thing is that I basically found out about AA 2.5 by accident (I was googling screenshots of America's Army, a game that I spent hundreds of hours in).

So I wonder if a lot of people just don't realize that AA 2.5 is out there.

I hope I am not too naive here but wouldn't it be possible to get the AAO Tracker admin to send an email to every registerd account informing them about AA 2.5? I am sure you'll get a lot of "dead end accounts" there but you'd also reach a couple of thousand and might increase player base!

Cheers.

EDIT: I can't see why people don't want to play AA 2.x anymore - I mean this game has a timeless quality.

Assist Support / Honor not updating after Honor-Claim
« on: Sunday, March 01, 2015, 12:07:43 PM »
Hi everyone,

I had a Honor Claim a while ago and it seems to be locked down / stuck at that value. I tried logging out and in again in Assist but it did not fix that problem. If someone knows how to fix this let me know! :) Cheers!

Here's my Tracker profile for reference: http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/846280/

I apologize for posting an answer to such an old threat, but I had the same issue. I fixed it by NOT running certain applications in the background. I got this error when I was running mIRC, once I shut it down AA 2.5 launched without any issues. Maybe try closing some programs you have running in the background.

My best guess is that the old version of mIRC I have and AA 2.5 don't get along in compatibility mode.

I am running Windows 8.1 on a Core i7 3770 with 12 GB of RAM.

Hello Assist team,

First of all, thank you a million time for bringing AA 2.x back! :style:

I am trying to restore my honor, I hope this works for you. I don't have my old AAO Tracker account anymore so I made a new one: http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/846280/

The only proof I have that I had honor 70 at one point in time (I think I had 76 before I stopped playing but I am not expecting you to accept that without a screenshot...):



Let me know if you need anything else, I am still looking through the Internet Archive but can't find my old Tracker profile...

Thank you!
Ding
