My real story bros & sis...
Draw your own conclusions.
Been back for about a month and done about... a big fat nothing.
I hadn't even flewn off any planet that I already got used to the idea this game didn't matter after all...
Believe it or not, I was REALLY looking forward to pewpew, grinding, flying around aimlessly for funzies, RPing...
But it literally never took off. Because all that stuff gets super old, super fast - without context.
I needed directions man...
And NO, I'm not a sheeple!
But like everything you like in life, you need context and goals.
Before even introducing themselves on the forum, players first need IMMERSION.
Give them that killer vibe that makes them part of something greater by getting them to join a player faction right HERE, on the website.
Get them to sign up to a cause, an ideal, a lifestyle... and MAKE IT A MUST DO !
Think of it as a character creation portal in a mmo. The preambule that opens to a dynamic experience from the word go.
And keep it simple and fun make the player feel wanted and valuable!
- Propose IDENTITY traits options to steer players into narratives YOU WANT, and help them define be who THEY LIKE.
- And match those identities to PURPOSES that fit the several faction's predefined story lines.
- Then have real people from players factions respond asap to chars creations and get the ball rolling in the direction players are HAPPY with!
Sit back and watch myriads of active new and older spacefarer step into THEIR adventure!
make the player feel wanted and valuable!
