How have we lost so many people to this wonderful game?

[FLS]

Changing the metal clamp on top of the clipboard is hardly an overhaul. 

It is still the same basic thing it's been since I joined--or for as long as I can remember any way. 

You lost me.

Yes it's basically the same thing because it's basically the same game. But it's basically false to say the current version is 20 years old.

The GUI and website were both updated for AH3 so it's hardly 20 years old.  But don't let facts ruin a good rant. 

He didn't say it and I responded to it.

Yes it was "updated" not long ago, but in a style that was from 2000. That is the point he's trying to make. There is nothing there that grabs the attention of a new player. Nothing that  say "Your going to frikin' LOVE THIS!!!!"

The web site looks like they are selling insurance, not promoting a MMO game with as big a scope as this game represents.

You can have the best product in the world but if no one really knows about, you can't expect it to grab much attention when it's wrapped in very basic box that does not highlight the product contained within.

Marketing 101: dress your product to get noticed and sell.

Set it above other products in the same category, not behind it like its the dollar store version of the same game.

I think it's great that you guys are clear on the basic facts of marketing.

You disagree?

You can go over to the playstation net, Xbox store or any other game selling store and figure out which games are selling and which ones are collecting digital dust. Other than the big hitters the ones that have little to no quality presentation often get ignored.

Those stores offer static advertising and video advertising for the games they sell. Each game's presentation is handled by the developer of the game and it shows which ones are polished and which ones are wrapped dusty rags.

Not at all. We all agree on basics and generalities. It's the specifics where we diverge.

We are old people. We love routines, repetition, and nagging.

The front page of AH is boring and lacks special event announcements, monthly screen shot contests, new skin pics, and short videos. There is no enthusiasm.



Match play needs to seriously be fixed.

It still has the FM2/F4F4 video, which is what, 2 years old?

If you're new you're seeing it for the first time.   

[The Fugitive]

If you're new you're seeing it for the first time.   

....and if you checked out the web site/game last year you notice nothing has changed. That looks good too.
