Topic: You >NEED< more people.

I know it has been said many times, and that it's not so easy to change, but the biggest thing that is 'wrong' on this game is the amount of people playing it !!!

I would love to start playing again, but in a galaxy after 2 weeks of BOR there are around 30-40 actively people playing (max)
This is not fun.

There are alot of ways to advertise, some of them cost money, others are free.
First you need to find a new mod, someone in charge of advertising.

Things that can be done:

- Post it on different forums, cheap, quick and effective!
- Use Facebook / Twitter / etc.
- TV spot(s)
- Mouth to mouth advertising
- Offer 'big' rewards for referals (inviting by other players)
- Etc.

- TV spot(s)

LOL are u serious?  lol

Re: You >NEED< more people.

Yes I am.
Check this topic: http://imperialconflict.com/forum/viewt … ?id=189167

I also saw this commercial on television, it really helps because some of my friends start playing it.

But again, you don't have to do every single one of them in order to advertise for this game.
My point is just: ADVERTISE !!!!! Instead of doing nothing.

Well, it seems that the developers are still implanting new changes etc.
So I assume they care just a little!

And getting more people = more vip = more income for them!

Re: You >NEED< more people.

hmmm I see often people aktively posting in here, in ideas, in feedbak, in bugs, everybody has a good idea to show or something to help the game grow, people does it bekause they like this antique game and know its potential.
After 1 week, maybe 2, maybe 1 month for the optimists, after a zertain period, they all give up on trying, right after they realise they aint being listened, or they realise what they propose is impossible to get real with the kurrent administrators.

I dont even know why this ideas forum is still opened, people posts here and a lot of good ideas fall in the forgotten vault, ideas that you kannot bump or you'll get banned, so after some short zykle another buddy komes and post the same old good idea we all had at one point, LOL.

This people posting, wasting their time while being ignored, finally man up and leave the game.  Maybe some of you vets koming bak think the game has progressed, but thats bekause you've just kame after the new layout was added. 
Trust me I kan tell you the game was better before the new layout was "enforzed" by stefan.

We have ONE developer, just one, smart enuf to not fall in the zharms of stefan and waste a lotta time here. I kan say by ezperienze 99% of the ideas posted in this forum are ignored, while 90% of the ideas talked in mod private room are implemented without konsulting the players, and most of times without even a testing.  Why? bkause this game is not demokratik, it has never been, so this ideas forum is USELESS. 
They do ezaktly waht stefan does to them, modify at his will, treat us like the sims, ignoring the human faktor behind this useless posts. stefan does not realise HIS game is not a game without the players.

The game is abandoned, get real, even the links to donate are broken.

Re: You >NEED< more people.

Render, most of the ideas are not possible or worth the amount of dev time to implement. Ideas that require huge amount of time to make and in the end might not even be a success is not the way to go.
The small % of ideas that are viable are being discussed in testers forum and i imagine in mod forum. It's not happening as fast as one could hope for but its happening. And up until a month ago or so, IC had no means to test new things before implementing them (Trianglum has been reopened on a duplicate of the live server, for testing purposes)

Making this game democratic is a truly terrible idea. Imagine all the drama and whining when the 45% of players that lost a vote about which way to make a change. (i.e. should we make portals take longer or shorter time to build)

Turn on - Tune in - Drop out

Re: You >NEED< more people.

Well assuming this game changed quite a lot the last year (layout and functionality) I guess there is still hope ? But I don't see why you wouldn't advertise? (The free advertises)
