I agree that public channels arent very suitable for newbies.
But random galaxies are.
I mean with that, that if the newby is lucky and gets in a galaxy with any experience players who will teach the newby the tricks of the game. In that way new players who are active and want to play and learn the game will be most of the time recruited by the alliance of the experienced player.
Advantages are that those newbies can be formed with the way the alliance want them to think about the game and they are loyal, at least the alliance may hope that
But to gain a real boost in players, maybe jolt have to think about
advertise in monthly lecture for games or some.
Thinking about the +120k players from r3 and r4 still gives a thrill,
even when those rounds were full of multis. But at the moment I dont think Jolt dont give a **** about it cause it will gain an income about one million euros/dollars a round, which is very profitableI guess.
