My advice. BBs, advertise! This is the best time to do it! Since a lot of the users are already getting tired about the bs HIATUS, they'll come here and check the game out. This is probably our only chance (for now) to get back to 50-55k users.
..


Well let's look at this suggestion for a second:

Advertising costs money, so where are they going to get the $$$ needed to advertise? Kinda odd that the suggestion is coming from you as you don't even pay for supporter. So let's get this straight, you're actually playing the game for free yet you feel that they should spend their money to advertise? Is that how I'm reading things?

As it is, they just took a major step this week to take advantage of the worlds largest free form of advertising, facebook. So it's very ironic that you doled out your piece of 'advice' during the same week that this took place.

Also, I believe we've had multiple pushes with more advertising in the past, and it's really made no dent in the decline of # of users. I don't think that is the way to fix this.

I don't understand your fears.

To me, other sites of basketball shutting down has only an answer: BBs are hacking them.

BBs are buying competitors out pretty much like Bill Gates did with Homer Simpson: destroying them!

That's why we don't see many BBs around or many features implemented, our BBs are working on "other sides".

Good job BBs! Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately my favorite game got this news on Friday. http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/news_archive/thank_you.php


BBs should hire one or two of CoH developers that are now without a job. We would finally see some non-cosmetic improvements!

Thank you sir, I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the other side I hope you got that it was clearly a joke.

I invited like 40 Japanese peopel through facebook...but it seems their applications (those who tried to sign up) were denied. Not sure why.


What the heck does this mean? There's no screening process to sign up for BB.
