The chicken and the egg analogy. Which comes first?:
Do we advertise with better adverts to draw more players in only to have 5% to 10% stay? Not only that, to have the 90% to 95% that didn't, bash it on every other forum, game review, and or other media outlet there is??
OR
Do we:
First, create a system that entices the gamer to want to play/explore more. Second, create a way for these new players to willingly decide that 10 to 20 dollars a month is worth their time and energy. Lastly, build a strong connection to the game/gamer that allows them to willingly say, on every other forum/media outlet that "Hey, this game is absofucking awesome, come and try it out!!"
With out these in place first, all the advertising in the world will only lead to failure.
So for me, expensive advertising right now, would be a waste of money.
Just so you understand, I am very much for way better advertising and feel there is a great need for MA to do so. I just want to give it the best opportunity to succeed!!
