So now that server seems to be up and running smoothly (nicely done Jason ) perhaps we can look at bringing the player count back to what it was before the move? I recommend a mass email to all the registered gatewars account email addresses to bring those lazy inactives back in.

If we get lucky, we might even end up getting a lot of other inactives back in the game

A single mass email shouldn't have any negative effects so might be worth a try. What do you folks think??

The email can say something simply like: server has moved to better, faster systems, improving the game. Go try it out at...

a single, well written email to all addresses on file that haven't logged in since the last move...

yea, worth it... provided the email hits all of those notes.

To come back to accounts that have been built up over years?
Could be a tough ask!!

But like the attitude

Are they allowed to spam people's mail box like that?

well could also be a good cleansing of ranks tool too, those still in rank that don't reply within a certain time frame get deleted.. starting with those whos emails bounce back as invalid


but anything is worth a shot

Sort of like a newsletter?

No. A newsletter implies various emails be sent when enough material is present for another newsletter.
Just a simple reminder. Certain people's forums spam my inbox with "OMG WE MISS U WERE ARE U" and that kind of mail.

A well written message avoiding the usual spam-box requirements would be quite good.

Someone should tell this to the admin.

Already done. He knows.

Thanks Juliette, hopefully the player count goes up by at least 200+

So who he will mail? All the players? (of 59,388 total)

I hope he will.

Might be an idea if someone proof read it for him.

I nominate Mordack, to compose it as well...

Unwise:
"Hi. At one point in your life you were crazy enough to register for this game. Then, you grew up and left. Now, we want you back.
Come back and enjoy the new speed, but no real changes, to the game. It will be fun. For some."

Or something more Mordacky, with the same sentiment.

Yes. *grin*
