I love Hybrid. IMHO it's perfect in every way except for a lack of a steady stream of new players.
All we need is to get the word out. Why not create incentive for people to go out and do so?
Off the top of my head, here are a few of the simple things that can easily be done:
- talk about UO (with an emphasis on Hybrid) on various message boards, social media etc to pick up some nostalgic players
- post videos on various tube sites and link em to message boards and social media
- figure out a plan of action for getting back on various toplists and getting people voting
- making a banner (if we don't have one) and doing some targeted advertising funded by...
- a special one-time donation for promoting the shard?
Please add to this list as I'm surely forgetting simple things.
Some items would require staff involvement but others could be done by anyone in exchange for some sort of [codepoints ([promopoints?) that could be redeemed for one-of-a-kind items / pvp stock / fancy armor for mages? / whatever.
I'm sure there are much simpler ways to do this and i welcome everyone's constructive input.
Please save all your complaints about sallos/wands/staff/trammies/del pond for another thread and let's have a constructive discussion about attracting new players to the shard.
