ideas for a larger playerbase??? - imported_Paulie - 10-04-2008

Other then voting and tellling friends to join. Proximus did the youtube vid thing and it seems not to many people particapted, even though it was a good idea. I myself didnt particapte cause no knowledge of any vid programs. What are some ideas to make shard grow more? what are some ideas to get get old players to start playing again? I have mine but I know if i say them they'll just get flamed by people so its no point. Any ideas????

Write a new client that's comparable to today's games.

I think thats in his plans already. He is only waiting for the shard to come out of Beta which is close. At least thats what he showed in a thread not long ago.

That's correct, but we also would need new hardware before those emails are sent.

Last time we peaked 350 or so, I see no reason why we wouldn't get at least another 100 players:p We can at least hope Big Grin

There are a bunch of things we can do to help a healthy larger player base here on IN.
I have listed a couple, easier things we can take advantage of, that has hardly anything to do with in game features.

1st Thing: Our IN:X Shard Page.
I'm not dissing it, it is simple and easy to use and find everything you need, which is great, but maybe if we had an Intro to the page of some sort, Maybe a little video, or 'in game' animations, to make some sort of story or intro to IN:X. I like it how it is, but it doesn't matter what "I" like personally, will it attract players and will "players" like it is whats important.

2nd Thing: Screen shots, in game footage.
We currently DO have a screen shots page, and its up to our PLAYERS to take more screen shots, interesting ones, and post them in the SCREEN SHOTS section on the page. Although, I did talk to a couple players in game, they thought a different idea, taking good screen shots and sending them to a staff member,(I gave my email) To maybe put the best shots on the front home page of the IN:X site. Again, another good idea.

Tell me what you think, maybe this would be a good start, when we have the time to make some adjustments if that's what is decided.

And I am constantly thinking of new events and posting the ideas, that's something that will for sure change around here. More events, and hopefully more variety. Big Grin

I have spoken to Numerous amounts of players on a serious level 'in game', and have got several ideas from them. And of course some ideas, I may or may not agree with.

First thing, More PvP Hot Spots.

We just fairly recently got a new gate to Britain bridge, which I have heard absolutely no complaints about. Something that HAS in fact been brought up to me is another gate that sends you to the bridge in minoc(Near minoc mine). This may help ensure,

1. another pvp hot spot, or MORE pvp.
2. easier access to the mine, more mining.
3. And more player interaction in general.

Second thing,Town Decorations.

I have heard opinions about the bank of Britain and the decor., I have heard it is dull, boring, and doesn't pop out enough, or 'stand' out in the right way. Mostly comments on the color, the greenish hue it is set as. I have some color suggestions.. Which may be appropriate. I know where people are coming from.. that it should stand out more. Britain is the most famous of all towns, and the bank has even more fame. If we are going to put decor. up, it should look rich, not.. plain.

1. Gold
2. Silver (although it may be too shiny)
3. Perhaps Admantium?
And I also got, just anything, besides a color not so dull.

Most of these, are not new issues. Just issues or ideas being revised for a second look.

New weapons are coming soon, as well as quests and craftables.

There are more ideas I will post, these are from players and gamers on IN:X.
Possibly some things they would like to see around here, they are our community.

Well as for the hardware... I heard XS4ALL has been fairly busy but the new hardware date is around the corner, and most if not ALL of the lag issues will be taken care of..!! Which is ABSOLUTELY great news! Following the new hard ware, and leaving debug stage.. E-mails will be sent to Old IN players to hopefully help out in rebuilding our player base. With a large player base, this makes the shard look fun, well, and worth playing which will attract even more players. Big Grin

So I think everyone has something to look forward to!

Oh...It's True!

Sure minor tweaks here and there make also result and help in attraction of IN:X.

Everyone please Have fun, and don't forget to vote!!

UO is fine as it is, considering it was made in 1998, 2D graphics does age a whole lot better than 3D from that era ( which nostalgia aside looks HORRIBLE by today's standard )
