Special Events is killing game play in the main arena

I see it from both sides and there really isnt a great answer. Numbers are just bad, cant get around that.  Maybe though, we shouldn't be having FSO and Scenarios on the same weekends? Either stagger them every other week or cut out FSO while we have scenarios going on. Just my 2 cents.

Or figure out a way to fix the numbers problem? That seems like it would fix everything.

We need Euro players to come back - that would populate the arena during US daytime. They’re to busy being at war and rioting though.

 Do something like they do is WW2OL a Free weekend.

The Welcome Back Soldier (WBS) program in World War II Online is a periodic promotional event hosted
by Cornered Rat Software that temporarily unlocks full, premium-tier game access for returning veterans,
 inactive subscribers, and/or free-to-play accounts.

One would think HT still has all the e-mail address of passed players..........

Give them a free weekend to come back and see old friends. I think the hardest part of this would be we would
have to be on our best behavior to get them to stay around.

Even if it's get only a few to resubscribe that would still help.

That’s not true and super generalized! I have no issue finding things to do. BCool and I have been in the same airspace recently quite a bit and we have no problem finding people to kill me lol.

The MA gameplay damages itself, events aren't "killing" the MA.

The op is a nut

There is a solution here.

Scenarios run only 8 Saturdays per year.

On those particular Saturdays, all melee players should come fly in the Scenario!

Perfect solution!

That’s would actually be pretty awesome but the malicious compliance or outright revolt would be off the charts.

Its been to many years, but didn't AW

Shut down the main arena for a few 24 hr Axis versus allies special events?

Battle of Britain, Eastern Front, Something like that.

Don't Think it was the AOL years maybe during the gamestorm years.

I just just recall it was fun.

I don't recall the main arena of AW getting shut down for scenarios.  Could have been some other event, though.  Also, I didn't play AW on all the different systems -- only GEnie, Gamestorm, and AOL.

We could employ the techniques of either 1984 or Brave New World to "encourage" compliance.
