Numbers Prediction for Summer Season

[Phoenix3107]

What will the numbers be for this summer, including off time hours for AH despite the ongoing process for AH3? During the morning/afternoon times, it's somewhere within the 60-120 max range. Then shifts to the early evening, and it's 3-4 times its number, from 180-270 players max. Could these numbers possibly change when summer shines around?

I'm not sure about the main arena, but in special events it usually drops a little.  More people are out enjoying the sunshine during the summer, and indoors playing AH and keeping warm during the winter.

I'm online much less in the summer.

Are player numbers typically lower in the summer?

Well I used to notice a jump in the number of squeakers due to school being out, but that's about it.

OK.  Let's be ready for that this year.  Welcome them with open arms.  Teach them how to play properly.  And see how many we can keep.

Mongoose, that is good advice for the entire year.

Has anything been tried in the past similar to "Guest Pass" or "Recruitment Bonuses" ?

I tell 5 people to sign up but mention my account name; 1 person subscribes beyond two week trial, i get perks, or subscription discounts, or some incentive... Just thinking along the lines of a push to bring new players AND retain them.

I think all of us know enough air and space type web sites, so we need to start a program among ourselves to advise these web sites, how they can earn extra money!
I know of three, which I visit regularly and I intend to forward this link to them! Who knows, we might get some more members like this guys! I think it is a great program!

Oh wow, I didn't know about this!

Who can forget? I hope he's well and comes back some day.

Well posted Mongoose. 

You have to have time for the hook to be set.

to get banned for the 3rd time?  there's a guy who got banned within 2 hours of posting his first thread from both the bb and the game.  I have no doubt zoozoo can beat that.

There are soooo many factors going into this. We use to get an influx of kids just taking the summer off. Then again we have those who like it outside when the weather is nice so we lose some to that. Then there are those ....like me who rather stay inside with the AC when it's hot outside and so add to the numbers.

On top of that we have the slow decline in numbers that is steady which will add to the issue, but if HTC releases the update soon that could bring in more numbers for the summer.

So, really it's anybodies guess which way it will go. We all, Im sure hope the numbers go up. Here's hopin' (crosses fingers)
