Ho-hum

[Ghost of Gramps]

Ho-hum.

I'm back. Not much, but barely.

I would like to keep coming back, occasionally. Just have a lot going on in real life...like...stocks. Didn't get hurt much last year. In fact, not at all. Actually, I did well...except in one...the game I love. Dropped from just over 41 a share to now trading as of close tonight at 18.

You do the math...especially when you hold a great deal.

If we want to keep this game going, we all need to do a part.

I love this game, as little as I play. Yet, many of my fellow shareholders do not. They will make decisions over the next year that will over-ride any sentiments I may have just because my daughters played for so long.

My suggestion...in the next three months, ever single one of you need to set one goal...above acquiring just scrolls, rewards, and whatever has you...

Bring one new player into game, and help them build, so that they will stay. Bring back companions, if need be, sanction in game or not. Revive towns, and start to work together. UO once prided itself in community. Lets make it truly happen.

If not, at next quarters stockholders meeting...questions are going to start to be asked...as they have already.

Just a suggestion.

Love playin'...but can't hold the line by myself.

We all need to do a part.

Then again, it would be easy to just stand back and enjoy my Gin and Tonic. But, I thought, I might as well share. Something about the game, I guess. Nice peeps here.

*winks*

UO Doesn't need stocks lawl you better get your money outa any stocks that have to do with UO sell em...

SELL SELL SELL

You Sir, are a true UO hero, I will take your suggestion, you will have one more holding the line with you!

I'm trying But it would help if EA did their part and gave us a shelf presence. When people are looking for a new game they go to the store. People play wow because it's in the store and you can buy it.

We need the game in stores, that will bring new people in. You bring them in, and we'll keep them here

Hmmm Maybe the stockholders would have them do some advertising or would had them put boxes on the shelves . Seem to me can't get new people if you don't put your product out for people to see ....

 

[Lord Urza]

AMEN!

 

[Uriah Heep]

Whatever happened to that advertising blitz they spoke of when we voiced these concerns a few months ago?
Seems I remember (and am too lazy to go look it up) Chrissay or Draconi or someone saying even tho there might not be a box, there would be an all out ad campaign...

Still waiting.

I've honestly seen some ads for SA through some of the Online Comics I read and such so they are at the very least doing some sort of banner exchange. But other then that I haven't seen any spreads in PC Game mags or anything like that *shrugs* who knows what they're doing.
