Keeping new players Empty Keeping new players

Post by kaiballz Thu Jul 21, 2011 6:28 am

I have 2 suggestions:
1. Making the forum button more visible in the game page so that new players will be inclined to click it. Its the community that keeps the players, especially in games like this. The forum button should be much larger than other buttons.
2. The main attraction of the forum is the war threads, i feel the 4 war threads should be place ahead of Goodbye section to Games.

So it will be

Announcements to New player intro, followed by
the 4 war threads, then
goodbye to games.

I say this with only 1 purpose, to keep the new players in the game. Many new players are joining every now and then, if we can keep most of them aderan wars would be hot property.

Forget the poll and let them complain, at least that way they may come to the forum.

actually that's not how it works

usually the rule is that if there's 50 people who'll get annoyed by it at first, then later dont care, there's another 10 who'll keep hating it, out of those 1-2 will actually come here and 1-2 will leave alltogether Very Happy

Personally I'd set a maximum alliance size, It doesn't promote activity on here having all the active players within only a few alliances.

If we were in groups of 10-15 there would be more conflict and drama here on the forums.

Maybe we'd have a war game too. . . .

add another link in sidebar, not named Forums of course so you make sure every player tries it at least for once
i think another problem is that people dont take forums seriously because they're free
