Ok we all know that the economys on all planets lack something. Even on Calypso sweat is a tough sell even at 2-2.5 ped per k. We also know that there is something lacking about the new user numbers and the #'s of users depoing on a reg basis.. Of course we have the standard hard core players. There is a Human Condition wich there are many. But the one i'm going to Focus on here is known as the "Grapevine" or "Word of Mouth". Anyone in sales knows this is the best PR/Advertisement in the world hands down, allways has been and allways will be even on the Internet. It can Make or Break any business. At this point in time it seems to be having what I call a Negative PR effect on the game as a whole. Or a anti Social aspect where new players are coming into game and staying. What i would like to see happen is some changes,Game wide that turn it into a Positive PR or a Pro Social mode. Where new players are coming into game and staying, Having a good time getting excited about it and as a result dragging there friends into the game and staying, This is the best place the game as a whole can be because it starts something that is called exponential expansion which is a Ideal sales position to be in..Now all the Planet partners can get together and hire a PR firm to advertise and not get this kind of PR value! Ever.. Is the Best form of advertising in the world, all ways has been all ways will be. This is a 2 Edge sword, now the way things are it is in a negative mode. What I propose is a injection of real life into the game. It is called Fuel,Gasoline, Benzina, ect ect To make this it would take refined Oil and sweat into a refiner to make said fuel. In short it would prop up the sweat market for noobs give it some real value where a new user can sweat 4-6 days and play for 1 hunting or mining ect ect on everyone else's dime. That makes them have more fun and get excited and brings other new users in by word of mouth a PR Positive with VALUE. If i was in any of there shoe's ie: Ma's/Planet partners ect ect. I would rather pay a player for there word of mouth PR than some firm that know absolutly nothing about the game or friends or social networks or grapevines. IT is Good Cheep PR. Now I know I'm going to hear well it is a RCE game and we have to be carefull not to wreck it and let things get out of whack. I agree. that's why there has to be some built in controls one is all ready there. #1 BP's that take sweat for one help increse the demand it is a tool and #2 Adjustable Fuel consumption for vehicles by planet and by space that would give MA and partners Control over the value of sweat and oil for the most part. Could be said that oxygenation is Different from planet to planet and in space so the Adjustment is believable via a story point of view. This would also open up new points for player OPPORTUNITY via Gas stations on planets and in space which only Items that can be used or that are needed in space should be allowed public sales via a gas station or a auction ie: Fuel,Welding wire,RK's ect ect go go space station spart juice the coding is feasible. I have been arguing this for about a yr now.. So unless i get Cruxifid for trying to get people to do the right and correct thing. I would not be living up to my name.. so give me your best shot... ROTM Spart PS: The BIG Dawg on the Block is WOW.. Would Like to see EU be Known as the Slayer of WOW.. AIM HIGHER than you currently are MA..Drop the greed lvl a Bit..
extra cost etc on fuel i dont like it MA should give new players a hand out so they can have a feel of the game either peds or choice of equipment e.g. hunting set up and enough ammo to hit it hard for a few days i mean what dose it cost them? nothing as far as i can see give out some (L) items and ammo or probes what every one else think ? bottom line is are they willing to deposit i suggest to new players i meet deposit 20 dollars and see if u like it.
