I think 1 of the big things that needs a Major Improvement, and re-construction, is the Learning curve. A more indepth training excercise which help New Members understand how things work. Having a game with such complexity for your average Gamer, who only knows how to press a button to swing a sword in a game, is not going to stick around once trying Perp. We live in a time where most MMORPG's involve cartoon characters and Cookies.

Although most of us here are against Simplicity in Games (I prefer the Complicated Aspect), but to grow the community we need to make it so the New Members understand it enough to stay more then their Trial Period.

I first came across Perp a year ago. On an Average of my Online time, there was about 30 - 40 people in General Chat (Weekend). A Year later on my return, there is 60 (Weekend). Currently there is 36 on a weekday for the same time. In a year that isnt really much Growth. I don't expect Miracles to happen over night, and understand that over time Perpetuum can grow to be a pretty decent, and active game. I just think simpler steps need to be re-worked to attract and keep a New crowd.

From what I understand (Not really being a Member to Perp for long [3 days being back] they have added a "Null-Sec" to try and help boost up the Gameplay, but once again, if we aren't attracting New Members to the Game to WANT to stay and understand, then I really don't see the point in bringing Shiny things in for the handfull of people who currently enjoy playing. I for one, would love to have more people around to have fun with, then a few extra Islands that you'd be lucky to see someone at.
