Has anyone ever stopped to thinking about actually promoting AO to draw in new customers? I mean, in the entire 11 years I have known about AO I have never seen anything anywhere about this game unless I searched for it myself and the only reason I knew about it in the first place was because my brother had a friend who played and thought I would enjoy it. Then I thought, hmm maybe they are waiting for the new engine before drawing in new players.. But if they havn't bothered in all the years of the life of AO, why would they bother now?
I want to return to AO, I really do. I have always loved the game and it always sucks me back in when I quit for a short while, but until they pull their fingers out their behinds and actually do something about increasing the population through marketing then my money stays in my pocket.. How about you?
