Reminder Emails

[Mr President]

Yes it is true.... Now i have another way to bug the heck out of you all..

What seems to happen from time to time is members create a state and then forget to come back. Whether it's cause they made it at the start of the set and forgot when the start date was, or they made it and used some turns and forgot to come back or they forgot login info or maybe they just decided not to play anymore.. Who knows!

Nation-Wars now has a reminder email. how this works is, members who have not logged on for 14 days or more are compiled and an email is sent out containing some information to remind them about us..

Since the start of the set 16 members haven't logged in. (yes it's only day 5 but i ran a test last night) So i sent out the reminder email and today i checked and out of the 16 members, 4 came back and logged back in today. I'll keep checking cause more will hopefully log in later tonight.

Anyway here is what the email looks like.

Title the email says: We Miss You!

Inside message says:

Hello Mr President,

Our records indicate that you have not logged into Nation-Wars in a few weeks. We hope you decide to come back to join us.

Current State information:

Leader Name: Mr President
State Name: The White House
Current Rank: 42

If you are having problems logging into the game or you have forgotten your login information, simply reply to this email and we will send it out to you.

Hope to see you back with us soon!

Best Regards,

Nothing fancy but i'm hoping it helps retain some members who may drift away..

that is an amazing idea

[Mr President]

yea i know... they just come to me.. I guess i'm gifted like that.

The one I got from that other game said something like.

Hey you signed up, and played, but "your account" has been inactive for X days. Would it be better to focus on account inactivity for X days rather than in game "states". that way a more meaningful email is sent out. I mean who would want to pick up an inactive state mid set...?

[Crimson Shadow]

Sounds like a good idea which will hopefully retain some of our newer members.

This might need to be changed. The it doesn't really say what will be sent out to you. Sorry for being overcritical...AP English does that to you

Better?

[Crimson Shadow]

Try seperating it. Seems like you are implying that the login information is the only login problem that they could be having. If that is the case then remove the problems logging into the game.

Something like this: If you are having problems logging into the game or have forgotten your login information, please reply to this email.
