Well I was a premium user for almost a year before checking out the forum. I usually do not use forums. What drew me in? A contest and prodding from a friend to check it out.
Maybe The ACHAT gods could run a banner once a week like they do when an update happens to advertise there is more to the game than the game itself. This doesn't just have to highlight the contests either it could include the latest poll, a particular thread or topic like how to improve achat.
this would at least let all users that log in know it exists and is used by players on a regular basis.
moderator, player. writer…just to name a few….a small request OK SEVERAL small requests should be easy!
part of the problem is achat may feel there is no revenue generated here. I say if you have to be premium to post and our posts impact the game well then that generates revenue. Elena is just one recent example…no forum..no elena…equals loss of revenue.
We mods (and I'm sure, everyone else too) are completely with you. The forum IS part of the game, no matter if it's just for technical support, asking question, and getting news about updates. We also say, regular members of forum don't quiet the game (so fast) and become regular customers – which means more money for them.
Believe me, we are stubborn and won't stop asking.
Hello, I repeated for the 100th time, they could add a “Forum button” in the game, it will avoid responses like this one “Oh, there is a forum?” :
sorry I missed the other 99 times; but I will say that the 100th one I seen makes total sense to me and would make it easy to get to the forum to shop, chat, write and post.
