I have been enjoying this game for years, albeit with some hiatus's. In that time I have learned a lot of things. A few to mention are that, this game requires a school course to play. Every time I come back I need to dedicate a few hours to relearn things, and thats only because I spent a few weeks the first time I played. My first official suggestion would be to have a small team to make this game palatable, at least for the absolute new players, and that also incorporates new to muds. Have a promo that incorporates new player feedback, reward feedback with items, gametime, partial fest passes, ect. To learn the nuances that befuddle the ignorant.Correct as necessary.
That leads me to my second suggestion, either build upon the genie platform, or create a new platform. With some rumble introduction/education guides. I heard that genie might get tossed, if thats the case you will lose a lot of players. I mean most have spent years building scripts with these platforms. If you decide to create a new platform, make it in a newer coding language, that will attract people who want to learn the newer codes.
My last suggestion, mini adventures that cost plat, but that dont reward fest items...maybe a number of plat adventures that add up to a small fest item? Its just, some kind of something needs to be added or all you have are bots that dont interact, and lets face it. A mmo's attraction are the people. The good, bad, and the ugly make a mmo.
