we need new blood

[THE_TICK!!!!]

go yonder ...to your streetcorners to the supermarket to the post office...put adds on milk cartons...(lost neocron players) or something.. we need peeps folks we need to start talking these games up..we gotta do SOMETHING. yea i know someone is going to say that its not our job blah blah blah...but hell we need new blood bad..even the forums are recreating themselves O_o

[MrChumble]

If BDoY doesn't bring new people I'm off. The bugs and stuff I can cope with, but empty servers and seeing the same old faces every day (even if I like them :)) I can't.

[Aziraphale]

I say we hire a sweatshop of third world children to play Neocron 24/7, this should be reasonably cheap and will provide a constantly high population. Everyones a winner.

[Yadot]

Or we could come up with our own advertising sceme that doesnt include KK. Anyone over in Korea that hangs out in the gamecenters could advertise. The game is hecka cheap. I wonder kind of licensing prices KK has. I know two decent size game houses that would play neocron. KK let me know.

[notneo]

this will be a bad idea as we all know that kk are really going to declare bankruptcy and take our subsciption pre payments :)

(this is humour not slander as we all know that kk are a finacially stable company we all wish to support)

[Spermy]

etc etc.

We need ads in game mags.

would be quite awesome to see the servers full of people once again. Ah the days of plaza 1 being so lagged with people...

[dark_reaper]

eh, KK's one big mistake. Haveing CDV Publish Neocron. They should went bigger for publishng. Here are some good Publishers: Sierra, Sony, Microsoft, eh many more.

I kinda like the milk package pictures idea.. hmmmmmm....

[ichinin]

Regarding advertising - or rather the box itself, i'd like KK to tell it's new publisher that they do make this clear:

"You have to be at least 18 years of age. If that is not the case your parents or legal guardian must give their consent to the registration."

CDV failed this really horrible (13 y.o are playing now), and a Swedish game webstore recommends it from 11 years...!!! Talked to them about it, and they said "Well, there is no law governing it, so we use the recommendation we get".. but on the box (from CDV) it's 2 years higher requisite. Parents do NOT bother to read the terms of service/registration policy. They are ignorant and they dont care till it's too late. A big sticker saying "18 years recommended, parents should read the enclosed leaflef for more information before signing up".

There are games for "little johnny", like SWG. Please dont turn this into a kids game. There are enough of them out there already.

Short: I want more mature players, before some lame ignorant parent starts screaming; OMG It's CYBER PORN and people SWEAR!! Ï'M GOING TO SUE YOU BLA-BLAH-BLA..

Word of mouth seems to work....
I got introduced by a friend ... back a few years back, in beta ....

I have since got 4 firends into the game.... So thats a step forward ... but I agree .. everyone get 1 new person involved in game ... and lets see from there

[Spermy]

Well if you want more adults, why not advertise in Porn mags, makes sense. :D

[Aziraphale]

Ichinin, it doesn't matter what the box says, 13 year olds will play whatever they want, hell I was playing Doom and Doom II when I was about 5/6 and they were 15's.
