be4 any new changes

the game needs desperatly a real player forum thats "official" and that works
both in game and outside and a real web site a fixed up base game that shows logs of what happened who attacked and who defended ..and bugs to be fixed
of course newer tougher post talsia place for the uber squads we got

i got a few more ideas bouncing in my head i'll post em later

i want to add .. a long time ago in a previous era when colin and marty ran the game
colin once asked me "so what would i do to market and increase players in the game ?
its a question pretty much any business asks "how to increase customers" in a nutshell

in any business that has a product
1)have a good product
2)good customer support both be4 and after selling the product
3)marketing which is selling yourself to customers, acquiring a name

lets analyze this for a moment (ive been in sales for 20 years )we have a product its called cybots
its a good product that could be better
we have soem players usually the same i dunno consistent 50 or 60 players
we have many more that moved on
can we acquire new customers?to whom would we sell ourselves to? and where would we advertise?

one idea is to give certain considerations to players who bring in friends who never played be4
(considerations i.e like 1 code good for 1 months play )
point number 2 is customer support for so loong the product (i.e the game) has been ignored
for so long the game has been stagnant heck even i get bored at times espoecially early part of the game
yes changes must be made it has to be made so every set is a bit different just to keep it honest and fun

and customers (thats us who pay) have to be treated as err well customer not as enemies who are muted or banned at first offense players shopuld be warned in private by a monitor that if they continue they will be muted (i know damo and or colin and or griswald used to warn me in private message numerous times i should watch it )

Great suggestions/discussion. I like the official message board idea.. it's worth more thought. Maybe a game blog could be established so people who have not logged into the game could see recent news, top players, recent game fixes and modifications (thinking in the future).
