Strategy to get new players

[Anunnaki]

Hola,

The last update had a good effect on Haven, we saw a lot of players coming back and we are getting more and more interesting fight especially during European time. I hope the next update will even bring more!

But i rarely see any new player and I don’t see any effort from NGD. You know it is sometimes boring to fight the same players again and again.

So the question is how can regnum get more new players?
How NGD advertising the game?

Also some suggestions:
- Co-optation : If you bring a NEW player, and he reaches level 50 you get a reward. ( xim or gold…)
- Advertising Community : Build a community that is able to advertise and publish in social & video sharing networks
- Leveling : Still so boring and hard to lvl 35...
- Close Realm Chat Also I would suggest CLOSING REALM CHAT as it is used by no life chating, crying babies and haters to share some retard ideology and disappointing view of the game.
- Across servers : It would be nice to open transfer with a balanced why across servers.

Other suggestions :
- [B] Sentain > jumper/jump event - instant 30/40 or even 50 level for new players
- [B] kowocki > More and better realm tasks and increasing exp for low lvls


Best regards,

[Artemo]

That's a good idea. Players could encourage their friends to join regnum and make a little profit on the side

Not only the community should advertise the game. Whats more important is that the developer advertises the game. I don't know how much an online ad-campain costs... Another idea would be to send out E-Mails to every Regnum acc with a special code or something to bring some people back into the game.
Everytime I have to see the likes on CoRs official Twitter site I have to cringe... 5 likes, maybe 10... that is certainly not nomal for an MMORPG.
I am always exited to see someone uploading those gameplay videos and when I see that they invested time and passion in those videos it makes me sad that nearly nobody watches them

I think that it gets boring AFTER 35. If you only do the green quests you are lvl 35 in 20 hours, that's a good time I think. From level 40 onwards there are hardly any mobs to level on and atleast on haven and valhalla no enemy players to level on also the realm tasks have not been updated to the new mobs yet... I would like to farm at trelleborgs beach for example but when I don't get that extra exp from realm tasks it's just not worth it.

Realm chat was introduced on Haven and Valhalla to give a new player the feeling that they ARE in fact playing an MMORPG with other players online... when I created a new character, the first other player I saw was when I was level 12 and on my way to birka. Thats ridiculous. In my opinion the initiation zones should be important for higher level players too, maybe you can find crafting materials there that are neccesary for high level crafting or include something else to make higher level players enter the initiation zones and thus give incentive and advice for the new players.
Without the realm chat most new players wouldn't even find the Iron RIGHT NEXT TO THEM for this one quest in Rottersvall...
On the other hand you have times when even the Realm chat is completly empty and nothing gets written in about an hour, I think that repells new players even more. Also there it the issue you mentioned with old players whining about how good it was in the past and that CoR is "doomed" now...

Best,

[Sentan]

I agree with all your points... I don't see new players on Haven and all your ideas would help.

Best way to bring new players to CoR would be jumper/jump event - instant 30/40 or even 50 level for new players (during xmass for example) so they can skip leveling stage and join wars

This kind of event worked pretty good in Vindictus, Tera Online, Elsword, Flyff, Ragnarok Online or Digimon Masters Online

I know how to play Regnum BECAUSE of realm-chat, as I began learning to do so there. I considered the opinions & discourse that the people there stated & debated, & self-taught doing so, & as well, I met, then chatted over time with, my RO-mentor (S'altor) & a few other friendly, helpful players who imparted to me the basics, then more advanced concepts of RO-gameplay philosophy. Removing this single difference would quite likely ruin whatever remaining chances the Haven-server has to survive & thrive separate from the Ra-server, assuming that survival, & not a merger, actually IS the goal of this thread's author.

I've stayed on Horus (Haven), even as the trend to go play on Ra became an UNstoppable force, to the very breaking point of Haven. The why is simple. Haven 'feels' populated. There's easily-observed REAL community there (as well as disagreements). Yet, Ra 'feels' like a ghost-town to beginners & non-wm players. There's little-to-no realm chat usage there (but hey, the commerce tab commonly sees such use that it often scrolls like a REAL advertising marquee ... heh!). What "REAL community" that exists on Ra does so exclusively in general, clan & warmaster chats alone, & this makes all the difference....

Inner realm chat is far enough, oh not enough ? clan chat, general chat, wm chat, forum, facebook...
realm chat is just too much spam with 100%BS.

I don't play regnum to discover human race, variety and emotions, doing this in my rl. If you do then you have a problem

Well, it is enough for established players. But actual new players who don't know the game at all usually consider the game dead if there is no chat or respond to their questions at all.
And that's even the case on RA like Lebeau mentioned, hardly anyone talks in realm chat.
And the commerce chat gives it more of a feeling of item selling bots, since there are no conversations.

FACT: Most who play RO quit. Most who quit do so early on, long before reaching the warzone. I would have been one of these. I never could or would have met my future RO-pals (who were in the wz atm) without realm chat as it is. If not for them, & access to them, I never would have stayed & played (even tho most are long gone now, & their role as pedagogue has fallen to me & others).

FACT: RO has this nifty feature. It's called "/ignore (name)". Just use it, or simply do not use realm chat (hey, YOUR 100%BS problem 'solved'). Be oblivious to some (or much) of what the game offers in whole, as you prefer it that way. Meanwhile, why should those of us who don't mind (as much), & occasionally enjoy it, do without our spam & bs of all flavors just because of intolerant 'purists' like you?

FACT: I live every aspect of my entire life "to discover human race, variety and emotions", etc, etc, & I do so to the fullest, even in a mmorpg (FACT: this & ALL else we EVER do IS irl). "...If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right...". If you are not, you are missing out on the fullest range of opportunities that aren't currently allowed within your chosen compartmentalized-&-narrowed personal-spectrum.

Mmmm, don´t you remember when they tried this? If not, I´ll explain a little bit:

NGD was giving Lvl 45 Scrolls to new players... so, what did the community do? They all created new accounts... I myself did it too... didn´t use it more than one day tho, cuz I already had lvl 50 toons, and having a lvl 45.. grinding it, meh. So, the point is NGD erased all those accounts, and I think they decided not to do the same ever again. If they do, I don´t really know if there is a way to block all current players to create new accounts :/
Resuming: Yes, RO needs new players, but no, I don´t think lvl jumping would be the best choice.

Bestssss!

NGD should also get more english content on their facebook page, cause 90% is only in spanish nowadays...

And maybe launch a rvr/pvp tournament with a ranking and prizes like the one from Alienware a few years ago. That might bring at least some old players back.

I'd be super down for that last one
