Topic: Virgo

I recently randomed into a family in SB exclusively with people who are new to this game... Which is awesome!!! That means, whatever means Pie is using, people are seeing that this game exists. But I did not have time to lead a fam in SB with a team of people who were brand new to the game. They were looking for advice on how to play and I could only find myself asking why Virgo did not exist for them.


I would be happy to be a tutor in Virgo and I am sure many others would be as well. If we are actually getting new members, I think this could greatly help our retention rates.

Re: Virgo

I want to be a Virgo tutor!

Currently, a ton of new players register and random and very quickly go inactive and leave. My theory is that they see their family at the bottom of the rankings and see all the huge stats on other players in the galaxy, feel intimidated, and then leave. I think Virgo would hugely boost retention rates and actually help new players learn to appreciate the game. I recommend making it optional to join but out a bunch of all caps warnings saying it is very strongly suggested for people who haven't played the game before.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated

Re: Virgo

We could allow players to decide when to leave it as well. Part of the old problem with Virgo is that it became a hassle for new players. Right or wrong, some people hate tutorials and just want to dive in.

If we set it up so that players could decide to leave when they wanted instead of forcing some arbitrary requirements...and maybe keep a countdown of when new galaxies are starting on the HQ while encouraging players to join at the start of a new round...we could make it work. Granted we'd also have to set up something to keep players from staying in there forever.

I'm not sure that Virgo is the best answer though. A quick 1-2 minute video or instructional overlay would cover the basics.
