December Set!

[Mr President]

Next set bonuses will return to the game. Any member who has a premium account will receive there bonuses automatically.. The rest will have to click on the links to receive them.

I thought i would try something new with the links as well. Any nation who currently has and outside forum and would like to advertise it to gain more members can purchase a bonus link space inside the game for a small fee each month. There are 6 total link spaces. 2 of the 6 will be voting sites. Which leaves 4 available. And these 4 are daily clicks. So that means your forums would be viewed many times a day.. (don't have the exact count at the moment)

I would also offer this same deal to any member who has a web page and would like to increase traffic..

If you are interested please send me a PM with what you have in mind and i'll quote you a price..

Thanks


Also....

Another phase of the overall change to NW will be the foreign relations section. There will be a few new things added and changed around.
One part of this will be a new declaration called "retaliation". So now when a nation has to do a retal, they no longer need to go to war to get it and it also will help people know that's it's not an all out war, just a simple retal. I am 99% done with this part of it, so if all goes well, it will be implemented next set.

When selecting a retal, it will still only cost you 2 turns per attack. And you will be able to end the conflict after 1 hr. The last thing for me to decide on is a limit for retaliations. (ie like 100 attacks and then you have to declare war if you want more) to keep it from being abused.. It's purpose is a smaller scale declaration to get the retal.. :-)

I have a few more things that may or may not be implemented next set.. All depends on how fast i can get things done..

thanks

very nice!

Its about time bonuses come back

But personally, I think that the links should be voting sites to help increase member count even if just by a couple.
Having a link to other nation's forums won't bring in any members.

i agree crimson

dont know if you ever looked at the voting sites that we had in WoW but those types of sites were ones where the only people who ever went on them were the people voting for there own game. so the amount of members gained was VERY small from there.

the pay for your own sites to be advertised instead is a good idea. brings in some revenue into the game......and hopefully the advertising department

I think your getting the pictures.

the voting sites are for SEO purposes mostly, but the advertising rev would help us more effectively market the site in proven markets like ppc.

I think the vote sites do get us some clicks though...some of our game profiles are viewed quite often, and we do get "some" traffic from them.

The only bad part is that when searching for games using keywords any of us would those game directories are directly competing for the same traffic we are. So not only do we have to compete with them, but we have to give them traffic too just to be included...rock and a hard place, but long run i think its best for us to be included if for nothing just to have a decent inbound link which will make us look better is the SE eyes.

I hope not,
especially if any of you chose the site...

How could you think such things, Warl0rd? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

The answer is probably:

lol, no

IDK, the voting thing is indeed quite superfluous, and the advertising can mean some extra cash for the game.
I like the fact that I can get bonus turns, so I'll like december set...
