QCRF update.

[Xoria]

A few thoughts :

1. People (especially players new to Disco) tend to join the clans that they see represented on the server. From my time zone of game playing (GMT - 5) QCRF and its affiliates might as well not exist, and I wouldn't know that they did if it wasn't for my knowledge from the forum. I think that you already know that this is your biggest problem.

2. LSF and SA are getting recruits like dogs get fleas, largely for reasons associated with my first point. I suggest that you strike some sort of deal with LSF and SA to "borrow" some of their members somehow, or convince them to close their recruitment and send interested people in your direction.

3. Perhaps you can get a commitment from your members to make QCRF their "primary" clan for a one week period, or on certain days of the week for a while. That will get you a noticeable presence on the server in a coordinated way. After all, people generally want to work as a team, and if no one else is online in their QCRF clan character, then chances are that no one will switch to it even if all the members are online simultaneously.

4. As has been stated before, Traders are the lifeblood of any area. Pirates come to attack them, and the lawfuls have nothing to do if there are no traders to protect. So, somehow, you've got to get traders in Bretonia. The good news is that I have actually been seeing more Traders in Bretonia lately, and The Lane Hackers have made a small number of quick sortees recently over there to pirate when Liberty is deathly quiet.

5. Perhaps some sort of diplomatic mission to Manhattan using several great-looking Bretonian military craft could create some interest in people coming to Bretonia. Perhaps you could offer escort for traders going that way on the return trip, or offer to buy traders some Bretonian goods to take out of Bretonia.

6. I suggest "joint training exercises" or "war games" between QCRF and LSF/SA. This will create some visibility for Bretonian RP and ships among the new players who tend to hang out in Liberty and might generate some interest in what you have to offer. It seems to me that this could fit with the general political tensions that are developing between the colonies.

Finally, The Lane Hackers are ready to assist in helping to make your clan successful, in any way that we can.
