Like I said even an easy share a post on Facebook event would be easy to do. Most of us are connected to Facebook anyways
Thanks for all the support. I will be bringing this up to the Devs as soon as I get time and if they respond I will update the thread.
Lol KaW on steam you could finally literally play from a PS(since they're steam linked) But at the end of it all, these other games that actually advertise also give login rewards, and do other free bonuses for continuous login.
The game mentioned spent 40m to pay Kate Upton to run a few YouTube spots. They made that up in a week. I have seen their ads scroll repeatedly on the bottom of my iPad when I'm on the net. Yes I also play that game. Completely different, but not my point. What is needed is a better marketing plan. The current app in Apple store is a known flaw. You have to spend money, to make money. It's been obvious the devs have not re-invested into KAW, only been banking it for profit. This is what leads to most companies downfalls.
Also, that game is only available on iOS (next month phasing out most older idevices) and newer Android. So it's not the need to add more devices to be able to play KAW on to get a larger player base. That is too costly to program for the small amount of ppl that for some reason chose a Windows phone. It's getting the marketing out there to showcase KAW as a popular game. And of course make a constructive tutorial that explains the game.
I suggest getting a famous start, whether that is an athlete, actor, or singer and make a commercial. Clash of Clans used Liam Neeson, and Game of War used Kate Upton. Kaw should get this too.
More things to do and to grow as a new starting account would be great. Say the current event was split up into tiers (this has been mentioned before). Their are accounts that are less than a year old who are double my size and I've been playing for 4 years. They pay to get their. However a new player that just wants to play has no hope competing. We need to keep this thread rolling with good ideas
The idea of bringing in a actor of high social status is a very good marketing ploy. I doubt KaW could get that of a Liam Neison or Kate Upton but possibly a upcoming star who is on the verge of really making it, that would be excellent for the growth of KaW. Possibly a young 21 year old who just won the Masters or a budding pop star? Keep the ideas coming!
I agree with you and a lot of the comments. But I have some of my own ideas to add onto this. A lot of games like clash of clans and I think game of war are both highly time consuming. But why are they popular? The answer is Graphics. And the ability to set up where your troops are for the battle so that when you attack it's not based on how many troops u have but how you strategically place them. Now I don't say hey do that cause then it would ruin the special part of this game. But what I am saying is if you give this game more graphics and more of a visual gaming experience to where there's moving things in our kingdoms an you need to keep villagers safe and stuff like that that would definatly make new players want to stay. Also quests. The rewards for them are so low they're not even worth it hell they're not even fun to do. I'm not sure how to improve that but it would help. So if you want to keep the new players and get them to recommend others improve the graphics and give the game something other than just attack and talk.and modify the quests a bit. Thanks for reading my opinion
It's funny how even the mods don't agree with a lot of things lately, yet the devs don't seem to care at all. With kaw_com only responding to dumb comments and not the comments he should actually be responding to, I think it's clear how much devs care about opinions. As for the social media aspect, yes I agree that they should advertise kaw in some sort of way. But what Inferno says is true. In June I will reach my 2 year achievement on this alt, and I am not even a mid sized build yet. At this speed i will be bc in 2020, I can only imagine how much this demotivates new players to care.
I like where your going with this inferno. If you add up upgrading the last two 25 set of lands and the land costs of the final lands were looking at over 50 trill! I feel like all the lands from the Highlands up and the costs for upgrades are extremely excessive. It would take 2 years if you don't spend as much as you would on buying your kid his first car to move up in the kaw world. It takes the banter away from wanting to help a new guy joining the game because you would have to befriend him for 2 years. The attrition rate has to be extremely high with players who stay committed vs the players who quit because of how time consuming the game actually is. IMO the only way to solve this issue is to recreate the game entirely from scratch. "Kaw Classic," start off with no clans, add clans, add new buildings, add new lands, etc.. Restart everything. No wars. Add system wars, etc.. I feel like we have overcome the revolutionary Era of Kaw and we're heading into a great depression.
The worst thing is the large gap between the upper class and lower class players. The problem lies where the leaderboards players have to have new lands and new buildings to remain active. The devs need to peek their interest and keep their whales satisfied. This creates a large gap and the lower class players can't keep up with land costs and building upgrades. Much so like the world leaders in real life satisfy eachother with wars to generate more revenue for fuels, missiles, etc..
Worse thing is parroting what u have not earned. Envy n no bearing on anything. What does the gap have to do with anything? U rather no new lands n allies dry up n then shift your poor argument to that? LB paved the way n u hopped on the bus. I suggest u try wars instead of tunnel vision on eb's n build sizes. Typical thought process of someone ignoring many ppl have been playing for 4-5yrs.
If it was up to me I can care less about myself growing. I would prefer to help new people grow but that would take years.
Personally I don't care about graphics in games, especially in a game which is effectively a chat app. Totally agree with quests though. The drop rates are so incredibly low also. It's pretty much 1/100 chance for nobility and 1/1000 for quests. And the money made is ridiculously low. Quests are still set to T3/T4 lowlands. Base quest profits on size, like ally bonus.
I actually like that idea Will. Many games will open a new server for their newer accounts once their first one gets crowded, why not do the same here? That way all new players that decide to DL KaW will be on an entirely level playing field to start.
And maybe have old players from original KaW have the option to leave this server and join there? I'd want to join the new server.
