ok being I found this game by accident while browseing mmorph.com and missclicked. and while being in irc said that your researching marketing ideas one came to mind.

develop a recruit a friend program that offers a reward to current subscribers.

example could be players invite there friends to join the game.

the new player likes the game and purchases a 30 day sub

then the person who invited them gets a buddy credit on his/her account

can award 1 credit for each month for first 3 months a new account has a paid sub

then thos credits can be used to purchase a new bot of there choseing

say light or assult cost 1 credit mech 2 credits heavy mech 3 credits.

or any value

this would encourage players to get new people into game which makes game grow and puts money into the developers pockets.

I know first thought is whats to stop people from just makeing a bunch of accounts just to get free bots? I say who cares there paying for thos accounts so game makes money who cares if somebody makes 10 accounts just to get free bots they paid for the accounts lol

just an idea this is a great game if more people knew about it i bet would see alot more people comeing to the game
