Netmech Chat Announcement! - Read
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:47 am
First off, thank you to all of you who have been showing up in Netmech Chat!
I have also enjoyed the great battles that we have had, and even the training sessions for those who are new.
Unfortuneatly, while all of this is great, there is a problem which seems to haunt Netmech Chat, moreso than Kali.
The problem is that I am the only one idleing in the lobby.
On first reaction, most of you probably are saying: "Yah, so what?"
Well, this is actually a big problem for the simple reason that a crowd attracts a crowd, and if there is no one to answer questions when someone comes in the lobby then the people seeking to play will leave! I am idling in the lobby 24/7, but I do have to sleep sometime.
It seems to be the average pattern that if a new person comes in the lobby and sees one person, they either automatically leave or wait a few minutes(Normally 1 minute) and leave.
I really believe that if there were more people idling in the Netmech Chat lobby we would see higher player turnout.
I am not asking that everyone that idles there be active, just to be there at least and check it if you happen to be on the computer.
So, now I leave it to everyone that reads this to decide whether this will grow or die.
Please reply to this with your thoughts etc.
