Easy Idea to get the player count up - staff have a look!-

Reborn_Soul · #1 04-08-2008, 02:38 AM

As you all know GK’s player count has been poor for what seems to be an eternity. I think I have a somewhat simple solution to this problem, but first let me start off by telling you about a past event. Ok now a few years back GK was available for free for a short few mouths, “well free as you did not need gold to play but only classic”. Any ways the player count back at this time was about an average of 75-125 a night, a lot better thin our current average of 10-20. So here’s what I suggest, we should just permanently make GK a classic server. Now think to yourself why other then the player count going up should we do this? Well why do a lot of people quit playing GK other then lack of new content? It’s because people don’t want to keep paying for a game that no one plays. Ok now I bet your wondering what about the people who already pay to play GK, well here’s my next idea. We have a grate in game store system why not put that baby to better use. First off for the people who paid for GK time we turn their left over hours into Gelats, to be used in the store. Why do this you ask? With GK now a classic server I’m sure people would still like to see it make some money. So keeping the in game store in mind we start putting more stuff in that store of ours. Things such as house improvement scrolls, EA’s, EW’s, IWD’s, armors, weapons, rings amulets and so on. Now as an extra incentive to get people to spend money we slowly add items to the store to get people to shell out the cash to want to buy them. Not only that but around holiday time we can add in holiday items that can only be obtained for a limited time, which would also give people an incentive to want to spend some cash. Well now that’s about all of my idea in a nut shell, I hope staff will consider my idea and I hope that it may take effect.
Thank you

I stopped reading after "we should just permanently make GK a classic server."

I wonder if Stefan making gold servers free for like selected weekends would bring in any players... not every weekend, but whenever he feels like it. Maybe holidays or such.

You'd think if it were that "easy" to improve the server, it would've been done.

Also, what you're suggest will break Gk. Sure we'll get players, but now you're making the exact thing we frown upon: Buying skill. Maybe you're fine spending $50 on an amulet, but the decent side of Gk would rather every single item obtainable through game play rather than shelling out more money. The way it currently is, it's pay for access to Gk, get items yourself. you want us to play Gk for free, but pay for items?

I might add that you cant buy any item from the store just what ever staff wants to put up besides we already do this updating your account to get x-mas items is the same thing were just taking out the part where you get moretime and just leaving the items. come on people really think about this dont just make a quick desision.

I have enough problems with the X-mas pack coming with dias. You don't go selling benefits on an RP server.

A lot of "successful games" includes only grinding games. There is nothing to do except achieve a higher level. Gk is not that kind of game, or at least it's not meant to be.
