I feel like we all enjoyed the last promo code with seeing the marketplace go up to 225k at certain points I feel why not another one. If so what should it include.

SAY WHAT ? - within a few days of getting over 750 fsp's worth of freebies, you're already asking for another one ??

 

*shakes my head in utter disbelief*


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

I agree with gomzkilla, but I'm not against the promo codes.

 

I think it was a good idea to increase the activity on the game, just like the upcoming double exp event.

 

Maybe in the next year it can happen again (by now it is fine, thanks HCS for this promo codes "event")

You guys are idiots im just saying that we should continue the promo codes and talk about what the next one (for whenever it happens) should contain like better potions, maybe stam gain, gold gain, more or less reserve stam. Don't Assume it makes and ass out of me and you

No need to call us idiots, we only state the obvious. You asked...

what everyone got out of this was... "I want another promo code, what other goodies can I get next?"

Calling for another one - or even suggestions for another one - after only 3 days is, IMO, bad form. The point of the booster pack was to encourage new players into the game and that, according to Hoof, it has done (and the online numbers seem to reinforce that I think).

 

Its aim wasn't to give existing players a bucketful of freebies but they were included to prevent the inevitable outcry that would have occured had they not have been included. It's also funny that you want the next one to be even bigger and better than this one was. Five years of playing and this is, by far, the biggest giveaway the cows have ever done (that I can recall anyway) and it's still not enough for some folk :)

 

You're entitled to your opinion however.. 

 

If there are future packs, I hope they're ONLY aimed at new players.

This thread wasn't created for the outcry of more freebies. It was never the intention and never will. My first post was surposed to be funny. And To tell you the truth this game is dyign that's wy they did promo codes because of the fact that there is such a gap between the worst and best players of the game hmm 1600 levels is a long way to go for a new player which make people not want to play we are lucky to get 100-250 good players come out of a month most quit within the first 5 levels so 10k max stam and 5k reseve 5 bp space some gear and potions will get people into this game when I started this game i had 500 stamina max and worked from there not basically 20k from the quests, beginning stam, promo codes so I don't think its working. Not many people like the hunting screen even though its gotten better is still boring to say the least for new players. Because of today's technology things arent as entertaining for long periods of time like it used to be. Last but not least I didn't appreciate the ridicule of your thread creation, it shows a lack of class and should have been done better on your part.

#1, your first post was an outcry for more freebies.. like it or not, you worded it so, and so it is.

#2, I see no humor in your first post, I only see greed.

i'd like to see a booster pack for players level 186-400? or just given automatically after you hit a level around 186?

 

would include damage enhancing buffs like smashing hammer, death dealer, an imp or two, berserk, ALL the enchant buffs(even the potion only ones) and would be a little note included to describe each buff and its benefits plus some words of advice like "travels will be harsher from here on out so know the benefits of the buffs and potions at your disposal blah blah blah"

 

some max/reserve stamina, stamina gain, auction slots, bounty tickets, a bank deposit, etc.. just some ideas. 

 

level 186+ gets to be a turning point in the game where you can't just hack and slash your way through levels.. potions, kill streak, basic survival becomes the norm here on out.. might be a good way to easy players through those levels.

+1 That I will support! Beginning levels are being revamped to be easier on the new players, I think the shift at 186 should be shown to the players as well.

 

The extra stam, stam gain, AH slots, Bounty tickets, bank deposits aren't really needed though.

The only humor I seen was the sarcasm about the MP being at 225k, other than that it did appear like a "give me another Promo now!" thread.

 

I'd say they should definitely wait to see how this one even panned out because it's still early to see how many actually STAY on the game.

been seeing a lot more chunks of new players at a time rolling in.. tis a good sign so far.. if only more players took some time out of their gaming to check the list to toss out some advice/buffs, we'd might retain a little bit more ;)

When are you meant to make a comment on something ? - 1st post in a thread ? 5th ? 10th ? - I saw the post and was the first to reply, registering my disgust at it. 

 

Maybe the OP did mean something different, but the way the post was made, it was a blatant "we want more of the same, but bigger and better"

 

You and he are the only ones flaming, by silly name-calling :)

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Maybe that other thread was a little OTT, but I see too much of the "I want, I want, I want" in too many threads. Guess yours was the straw that broke the camels back. Having said that, your post DID come across as "I want, I want, I want" - will put in a request to get the other thread removed. (request submitted)

Ok,, I won't vote on this as i see no need to vote on it. Yes, I can see another promo code being given away, in the future! The promo code was meant as a "new player" recruitment tool. Time is needed between these promo codes to judge the effectiveness of them. The fact that they were given to existing players is questionable, but the cows deemed it necessary to stem the backlash of players crying that they didn't get the same thing. If, in fact these promo codes are to continue, I would suggest that they are ONLY for new players, and accessible only to them. No stamina gain to be added, as it would offset the balance of new to old players. The reserve stam, current stam, and max stam are plenty enough for ANY player. I would suggest a MINIMUM of 1 month between these promo codes.
