I wasn't and I told you this I wanted to go to both and I didn't because one trip alone wouldn't have been financially feasible. What I didn't realize is that they were on the same week so I could've just scored both

1 month after the Star Wars game come out would be my plan of attack.

A. This game will be patched and expanded far beyond its opening day presentations.
B. The biggest hyped game that people are planning on playing will have been out, and the players who were waiting for it and decided it was not for them will be looking for a new game.
C. Star Wars will still most likely be working through bugs and not have added any new content.
D. It will be cold out, and people wont be jet skiing.
E. They need much time to work out a good advertisement.  The web page looks fine, and look how long that took to iron out and shine. 
F. It will give the company time to gain some financial resources that will allow the company to stay in the black while spending money on the gamble of advertising.
G. The company is still plannng a server move of a large distance.  To have the bulk of your advertising money spent before this move would give a growth that would be, or could be, hindered by this move.  It's best to wait till the servers have a real home without future plans of movement.

To avoid tinfoil hattery, it would be really great, if a Dev could give a feedback on this.

*constructs and wears tinfoil hat*

Damn, I look good! Maybe I should make a whole suit out of this stuff...

What's that echo?

Tinfoil hattery? No

More a55hatery from CCP yes. They just hit the part of the whirlpool where things get moving much faster and in a severe downward spiral....

No A, most also thought players unsubbing right after the expansion was a bluff, but numbers have been falling since,  though they still have time for damage limitation. Some of the fired employees had good contacts amoungst the community and some had been since eve started, IMO same old management, same ideas, the rest from ccp is just spin.

I really would like some feedback from Dev´s. I don´t want to step on anybody´s toes.

Snow - That's true, but from thier point, why would they publically discuss business strategy in the game forums? Player feedback and suggestions should be welcomed by AC, but expectations of anything but a one-way path are presumptuous.

Game mechanics, features, and improvements by all means they need to provide feedback, but it's thier buisness, we just work here.. err play.

That blurs the line between shareholders and customers.

Customer surveys are 1-way. I've never gotten an email back from verizon telling me the results and what they intend to do about them, and I pay them alot more per month then Perpetuum.

Shareholders however have a real stake in companies. I believe for AC, they aren't publically traded so the shareholders are probably the development crew.

I'm not telling AC NOT to give us any information, but realistically, no professional company is going to discuss the business side of a game on open forums. We are here to be entertained not to run or consult on their business strategy, even as much as it may effect the population and our game experience.

If anyone playing is in a position to help with real world publishing contacts or 100 Million euros in funding, I'm sure they'd be willing to talk with them directly! : )

How they advertise the game is absolutely a business issue. How much they spend, where they advertise and how they do it are not things we need to worry about.

Here, I'll answer for them;

Yes, soon.

Some of the best advertisements I've seen for games are by other players.

Keep in mind that banner adverts only work if you put them EVERYWHERE and that's expensive. It's much easier to put your players everywhere. It's the Perpetuum master plan.

1) Gain lots of players while game has few features.
2) Lose players while making new features
3) Release new features and when everyone comes back they bring their friends with them!

Even if this wasn't planned it could work, right?

Yep, could work
