Hello Fellers,
I love special events and feel like it's a hidden gem in this world. These events are top notch and have you riding on the edge shaking with the thrill of excitement.
The special events are missing marketing and it's a real shame. People don't even know they exist. I'd really like to see the events marketed on more than just the Forum. People need to be able to plan for this stuff.
Here are a couple of things to reach more people:
1. Post upcoming special events on the front page. This would help the main page stay updated with exciting things. It makes the events more exciting to attend when they are more well known and popularized on the main website. It will help people plan for these things. New players will see more of the game than just the MA experience. It will be great for players who are thinking about resubscribing.
2. Post all of the upcoming events on the Arena Message Board. This will show players events that are upcoming. Not every one checks the forums or the website. This keeps them in the loop so that they can plan and see all of the events.
3. Update the special events website. I know turn KoTH hasn't been updated after looking at it the other day. The website is not marketed enough. It's a great place for people to learn about the events but will not have a clue about it as it's not very well known. It hasn't been updated and looks dead. Yet another opportunity to go by the way side.
Forum marketing just isnt enough and I feel like it's the only way the word is getting out about events. I just don't understand why other marketing tactics are not implemented when it's such a great part of the game that goes almost unnoticed until the day of the event or if you check the boards on a regular basis. I feel like marketing these events on the Main page website would go a long way and also show that the website is being updated with exciting events in the future. If people see that these events are a big deal. More people will be inclinned to join the game to try them.
Thanks to all of the CMs who make events happen.
