how can we get new players to GC? i think our addictions to the best games have worn off and we are back to playing things like minecraft, farmville, etc, and spacefed is just as fun if not more than those games
so now, how? should we make incentives for current members and/or new members? what would they be? what if everyone who loved this game posted on their walls about spacefed and how to signup?
anyone else feel the same or thought about how to repop the server? :P |

99+ day(s) ago | I have many game-slut friends on FB. but no GC facebook page for me to spam on my FB wall. if the staff (maybe even stephen) create this fanpage i would `like` it then tell ppl about it. It might be good to make this sort of fanpage with all the desc and screenshots to spur curiosity.... At least that is what can be done if no hosting on FB.
Maybe there is this page and i just havent `liked` it. If so can i have link?

99+ day(s) ago | I, for one, know that if I posted about GC on my facebook, there isn`t a single person who would care, except for Jammer, and vice-versa. It just doesn`t work that way...
There have been other games who have randomly gotten an explosion of members due to the occasional post on certain imageboards...
SS13 was a dying game until they got ahold of it. I`m just sayin. |

99+ day(s) ago | lots of issues with that, stephen designing a whole new game, spacefed trying to negotiate with a corporate titan like facebook, reconciling the new players of the new game with the old game; im not sure thats gonna work |

99+ day(s) ago | what if they workd out a deal with a new FB game that was like spacefed that stephen could pay w/e to ahve GC avertised as another version? |

99+ day(s) ago | the games on facebook im almost certain were designed to be hosted by facebook (and to be capitalized so extensively by facebook). that wont work for us, but it is a potential advertising route
a new race is a good idea, and it would have to be free if we are trying to attract new members with it |

99+ day(s) ago | not to mention that Facebook would not work out due to the fact that Stephen would have to sell ownership of the game for it to be hosted on FB. |

99+ day(s) ago | I like the Facebook idea - but I have no idea if it would work or if it makes financial sense to the `Owner-ship`
Somewhere in my past collegiate studies, the economics and marketing staff agreed on one very significant fact: it takes 5 times more recources ($$$$) to acquire new clients (players) then it takes to retain old/existing clients.
So, the moral of the story - recruite older/veteran players will be more efficient. But how do we do this???????????
Expand the Game - add new races!!!! Create imbalances which will make the game more exciting. It is a well proven fact that business grow through expansion!!
anyway, my 2 cents :P

99+ day(s) ago | if eh can work it out right i meen if theres how many ppl playin from facebook and how many ppl buyin paids might nto need to buy mins n all that with cash the income might alrdy eb amazing ya know O>o altho a cashcow would be a cashcow O.o maybe if he made like a pre version of the game that ppl could play and that would adertise for the full version here? O.o itd give advertisements and generate cash for a dimmd down version ;) |
AccordEX
99+ day(s) ago | most of the games on facebook generate thousands upon thousands of players, If Gc offered a % of their income from money they make from paids ect ect, they game would explode with activity but then sadly this could change the game route with them selling minerals for $ and perhaps planets, or artifacts, there is a lot of money that could be made with such a partnership but this is what we play there probably wont be anything like this done. |

99+ day(s) ago | tht sounds like itd work o.o better than farmville ;P |
AccordEX
99+ day(s) ago | Stephen should pay facebook to host GC on it for given months with % to income pay. |
ImaVirusOhNoz
99+ day(s) ago | maybe by adding bot empires of all races like 2 of each ;P i dun rememebr what that discussion came out to last time >.< but itd help them play the pay races which might help keep more atleast till we get enoguh to go without em |
