Slight increase in game active players

#1
Hi everyone!

There has been a slight increase in players actively playing our universes. All universes have been slightly affected. We are nowhere near to the activity meters that we want but it is a positive sign.

Our next move is to press tight, to keep this momentum. The key here is to help returning players find their way back. Your help is requested. You can play a great role here.

Forums activity could use a boost as well. I do not know what forums really need right now. You may know better. I doubt though that it is ideas for the game. Probably some social activity would be better. Posting hits, explaining strategies, helping new players and getting to know each other could work a lot better.

We can rebuild the community here slowly. We are ready to help in any way we can.

Here are few things that can be considered.

Pin this link somewhere visible in reloaded:

Keep it for a week maybe. After that you can take it down. If possible to make a tweak that link to be visible for 7 days for all new players after registration that might be what pokes their interest.

Also I would like to bring your attention back to this topic:

In addition - contests are hard to think of, especially since zorg is not that big on content. Have you tought about something outside the game that can be discussed? For example open a topic for a week, ask a question and wait for oppinions. Pick a random winner/s and give them one of those 7 days packs maybe. Here are some examples:

-Did you see that movie? How would you rate it?
-Did you hear this song? Can it make you dance to it?
-Post your favourite youtube video on this topic: funny commedians

As for game content - well, you already have weekly leaderboards and are awarding players with medals. That pretty much covers what one can do ingame. Maybe look into some additional rewards to inspire people to contest it?

POst this on any social networking site you are on.

Any friends, colleagues, family who read it might give it a go, might not. But if everyone here posted this , they have 100 friends for instant on Facebook, if only 1 person takes it up, multiply that by the player base across all servers, then it's a start. If they then did the same then it's a whole host of new players. Like a pyramid scheme.
