Need more players? Incentives to the current ones to market the game!!

[Clodde]

I believe that from now the player base can only increase; the improvements are solid.

 

It is proven that word of mouth marketing works (think about the marketing done for Apple by the apple fan boys back in the days); then why do not ask the current players to bring in some new ones?

Of course, asking will not work... but incentives do! Examples?

- Offer special mounts to players who bring in new players

- Offer special titles...

- ....................... vanity pets ...

- ....................... color crystals ...

 

F2P is not the only way to increase player base, but you MUST get new players to try the game... once it "feels" a game worth to kill the market.

 

Let the Force be with the current player base

Look at the 1.3 pts..their adding a mount for recruiting friends.requires level 25, and has 110% speed (NOT a typo!!!) Edited June 21, 2012 by ninja_skillet

Sounds like some good ideas, OP. Sounds like they may be doing this in 1.3

Add a new customization slot and some new skins for all player ships (maybe 3 per ship). Add 3 reward levels to the friend referral system.

 

example:

Refer 1 Player get skin 1.

Refer 3 Players get skin 2.

Refer 5 Players get skin 3.

(each referred player plays 3 months)

 

Of course I guess there would have to be 1-2 ship skins added to the game's PVE/PVP vendors so it's not totally a referral-only slot.
