suggestion increasing player base

i was thinking to increase player base of maybe emailing retired players (ones that hadnt played in a couple years or more) sending them an offer of a free credit? also could do suggest a friend and that friend get a free credit and the sender maybe get a free credit for the following round after?

I really like the idea. Cant see it happening though Would involve something they call effort and the giving away of free stuff. Wish it would happen, not holding my breath though

Re: suggestion increasing player base

sounds like something that would be massively open for abuse.

Re: suggestion increasing player base

Such referrals are extremely common out in the real world. What would work is if someone you invited bought a credit this round and next round, you would get a free credit for next round yourself.

As for mass mailing... I would be careful with that. The game hasn't exactly improved over the last few years, after all, so all of their reasons for quitting are still as valid as ever. If you asked them to just come back to take a look at the old gal, and then (inevitably) disappointed them, then they would be unlikely to give it yet another chance when things are improving, if ever.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.

Re: suggestion increasing player base

Pretty sure I already get a mail whenever sign ups to a new round start?
