| Author | Why not so many online still? |
|---|
Project was started 1,5 years ago, but max online I`ve seen is only 1,4K for now.
Due this time online on .ru was grow from 7-8K to 13-14K in rush hours. |
| part of it is advertisement .. or lack there of... other part is that start up for a new player is kinda difficult less you read every part of the how to's... there are alot of factors. but over all the online players is growing from what i can see. |
| Lack of action. When was the last time .ru went without news for 5 months? |
Lack of action.
*coughs* 10 months. *coughs* |
And still at his moment ( there is new upgrades for 5 tier creatures) what can have less than 40 ppl (all 14 and 13 lvl)
Now is small tournament, what is nice :)
but still now no action for lower players (they cannot bid for houses) except few labor lords |
start up for a new player is kinda difficult less you read every part of the how to's
I agree.
The learning curve for this game is quite steep. Yes, there is Mr... (whatever his name is) who teach us few aspects of the game, but it was just not enough.
Most new players have difficulties with even basic strategy. I mean, as a new player.. what in the world is "retaliation" ?? Why do we have to enroll ? Or even at what level Mercenary Quest is doable? No one told us about it. OK, there is Queries and Help Forum... but new player don't care or even don't know about it :)
Many frustrated new players (who can't win their first duel or group battle or just trying to beat Mercenary Quest monster at level 2 :p) just quit in the first week.
IMO, there has to be a mentoring system for new players. At least some basic strategy to keep them away from frustration.
With the change in clan requirement (level 5), I think it will be great if every new players (combat level 1 - 4) when they registered to this game will be automatically registered for a special clan -> Training Clan (or whatever the name is).
Sage can be the chronicler of this clan, so every now and then... Sage can send mass message to provide some informations about the game (eg: Why it is best to do only hunt in level 1-3, or why you should save your money because at level 5 there will be AP rule etc). And Sage can provide link to some important forum thread.
Sage can even "teach" them to some of basic rule like "financial assist" is illegal, or we are not suppose to flood in CaA forum. Something like that.
After they reach level 5, they can leave this Training Clan and join the real clan (the real mess and mean world ;p) |
| #3 very good idea about that training clan,and i think there should be some example battles,which should see the player,or i would get when someone begin this game,get him a chance 1 battle play with 14lvl creatures and then he will looking for reaching it,its simple |
| 6. Rethink this a little and repost in Ideas and Suggestions. There has been few ideas of improving the tutorial but such project is a new thing to me. |
| good idea, maybe this should be suggested at the Ideas and suggestions(if not already) |
Well, my post in #6 is just what I think why the number of players we have in .com never increase.
Game Advertisement surely can bring new players to come and TRY this game. But the problem is : "What should we do to keep them playing?"
In .ru, it is easier because most of them are Russians. It is their native language. If they have problem, at least they can ask without any language barrier.
In .com, things got a little bit complicated. We came from different countries and for many of them, English is not their native language (including me). And remember, there are young players too. English is not easy for them, you know.
I don't have the statistics about how many players registered and how many of them abandon their account in their first week, of course. But if Admin read this, maybe they want to do some analysis about it, and hopefully we can increase active players |
I suggest that the man who talkes to you at the very beginning of the game -and disappers never to be heared from again soon- that start teaching the new players who to really play the game in all ways starting simply by levels
talking about all the game one at a time everyhour
it could be a great idea to teach the game easily without using forums! |
| the tutorial is keeping people out as well.. i mean hell, why do we need to win the first combat??? just participate is good enough me thinks... |
It is a small thing, but I think we would keep more players if the "Tips" section at the bottom of the screen was *always* active, and if it was stocked with the 100 most common FAQ's. A player is more likely to read the rule book if it's just 30 words at a time. :P
Also, the "About this game" encyclopedia needs considerable expansion and clarification. There are some sections that I *still* don't get.
The mentoring system is a good idea. |
Guys, You all have good ideas. Why don't you make a thread for all these suggestion on the Ideas and Suggestions threads instead of here.
The thread is more asking why there are not more people, Your suggestions are better for an idea thread of "How to keep people interested" |
agree with 12.
But I find it more fun to actually understand what the faction's tactics should be, from browsing clan and forum guides to losing and shouting stuff like... never mind just losing and understanding the tactics. |
Why don't you make a thread for all these suggestion on the Ideas and Suggestions threads...
hahahah lol. because they know exactly how senseless this is. just like you do btw :oD |
because they know exactly how senseless this is.
And what is this supposed to mean? Many ideas were implemented.
The problem is most people suggest things like: Auto-enroll, Send all afkers to jail, Make infinite durability, reverse the recent changes and other very helpful stuff.
If you have ideas to post, you post them. If we have general issues about server growth to discuss at general game section, you can. But this is going nowhere. |
just losing and understanding the tactics.
i got to 1 lvl by winning only hunts:)
Why do we need to WIN the frist battle? |
