Im not talking about changing how the current game works, after all Aces High also have free Head to Head options wich you can play, but if you want to enter the hosted/premium arena with 500+ players at a time, then you have to pay for it.
Theres plenty of people wanting to pay money for a premium service, just look at AcesHigh, now 15 years later still having arenas with 500+ people in em, look at Warbirds 20 years later, it still has players playing it.
When i started playing WB, the cost was 2 dollars an hour, and still people paid the money.
