Grow a newbie

I`ll suggest the we go back to researching the Cystals... now that was fun... haha im OLD... i think we should point out & guide newbieies better with guide books on how to get an empire running

MISSIONS are the only guide to start with.... & well Act 1 bores people if they finish it anyways... but i think we should make Act 1 totally for newbie guidance & maybe an Act 2 in which would be harder & set with good tips & reminders...

new missions would include the basis how to turn an empire & then later go on to building ships for protection.. but also here & there tips on how ships work & stacking a bit.. pointing out difference between range, hull, power, weapons, shield modifiers & how they all mix in together

if you just hand them an empire with all that stuff... haha they would just run it into the ground... i think tho giving new Empires the fellowing is ok

1 Billion Cash
25k each minerial
no research
no ships

i like the sample of paid idea here... maybe make it once a month lol... once a year wont promote enough

even if they do this there no advertisement for gc they should also post a banner they did it once i remember they posted it on uc telling ppl to check out uc sister game GC ...counting the fact that they are lazy UC newbies giving them some advantage might keep em in the game

this is a great idea... why not if it gets a handful more GC players!

i dont think they should get any reseach, but i agree with the 10k minerals, and maybe 10mil cash

LoL> too much spoil., when they finally restart they wont know wtf to do.
1bil is quite too much for new players too. I think weve been palyiong tooo richly lol.
even 1hundred mil is fare more then enough for a new empire. :)

i suggested something like htis for uc a long time ago and stephen actually kinda sorta implemented it eventaully with the event thingys... but yeah it should be for a day, or maybe a week after u sign up u get a paid account except u cant change races... get em hooked then theyll play :P

and recruit friend = 1 month paid would be too much lol, odds r the friend would never even play... maybe weekly or monthyly recruiting contests, winner gets a 1 month paid?

I vote for Spartan! Keep up the good stuff man, great suggestion =P

That`s great marketing.

Next challenge - getting the new players to actually log on and try out the game. Recruit a friend, get a 1 month paid.
