After reboot, the MUD tends to just get so quiet. Nobody on any side, and LS full of statters/bots/whatever that just refuse to talk at all.
How can we fix that and bring people back to the game during the prime AUS/NZ/Asia times? Everything I try just ends up me talking to myself.
How can we bring more players to the quieter hours?
Re: How can we bring more players to the quieter hours?
The biggest impact would be a website we could change. Our online presence is just terribad. Sadly the website thing is tied I believe.

I would talk to you Manny but you just ignore me!!!
Right now I think just trying to get the word out to some older players that changes are happening again will help with numbers. Last couple weeks I've seen a TON of returning players in the UK and NA timeslots. Getting some old names back will help. And if you see a true newb in your time slot, do what you can to get them hooked so they keep coming back.
Having a website that posted announcements and upcomming events might help, but I don't know if that's even possible right now.
I actually currently play in the Aus time slot because of dumb job and have noticed that after boot the numbers die too.

That's what I do with the Reddit page, but that's not proving as useful as I had initially hoped since it's been a one man gig.

Can we make a new website with a similar name and easy instructions on logging into the game etc.
Re: How can we bring more players to the quieter hours?
What is the actual issue with the website? I can remember hearing for a long time, that the website is unchangeable... always wondered why.

The european afternoon/ozzie evening has always been a quieter time, Atleast it has been since I started playing in 2001. It is not per se a bad thing.
Back then it was always a low number pk time, I had fun Atleast then. If you want to make it more interesting: up the imm availability in the time slot there, have them mobraid Some (I remember nass being in that timeslot And Really make things happen then).
Also dont think you are going to get the same Numbers as the american playtimes, the number difference is Just to big

Re: How can we bring more players to the quieter hours?
Anyone good with websites and want to create a player run site? Russ3Z over at wotmudarchives.org has said he is willing to host stuff and has plenty of sub domains. He also is going to update the forums soon and we are going to be adding more content and support for anything players want to contribute there.
More player contributions to the Wiki can also help our player base and we are going to be creating a forum on Archives to discuss and facilitate this. So if anyone is wanting to get involved on the player side of things, there are some of us already working together in this direction. Come on over and join in!

One of the worst things is the time of the reboot. PK will be ongoing and heavy, then reboot happens at midnight and no one comes back...
Lots of people stay up past midnight aplenty, but most people just don't bother coming back after the reboot. Moving it to 6 am or some such would help somewhat.
