Odd suggestion to possibly help with population.

[kill drizitz]

So, this is not meant to be a flame war, and if you don't agree- please say why as apposed to "that's stupid"

The suggestions I am making is to do away with the Online count ticker, AND the online players tab in MyUOSA.

I am not asking to get rid of MyUOSA OR the players search. Pretty much only the "Online Players" tab.

The reason for this is because some people can just go there to see if people are on or not, if not- they wont log in. This might encourage people to log on more to see where people could be hanging and playing to join them. Sure a lot of people use Skype and Vent etc. but this might... MIGHT help people get on even if it is only for a bit.

Anyways, its really just a thought. UO's website had the char search, but never online activity back then.

*Personally I like the online now player search, but this is just a thought on how people might log on or not. I have literally used it to see if some people I knew were on, and made my decision to log into the game based on that.

What are your thoughts players/GMs?

BTW: Merry Christmas

That could potentially work but it could also produce the complete opposite effect as well. Players (current or future) not knowing the population could quit or decide not playing thinking the the population is low. Definitely not saying it would not work but suggesting that it could possibly produce the opposite effect than what is intended.

Or have the counter add an extra 500 players to the count

I'm currently making a new site for UOSA. We rank well for many target terms. We do pretty well for organic traffic. However, our current site is not setup properly for converting traffic effectively. We're basically leaving a lot of traffic on the table right now.
