Administrators Alex Posted September 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd like to create another read and quiz page for new players on the subject of alliances, in an effort to promote more new players joining alliances. We have lots and lots of people signing up every day, but a lot of new nations don't join alliances, which I think is very beneficial and necessary to really enjoy the game in the long term. I'm looking for general information about why new players should join alliances, things like protection, money, community, etc. that are provided. It's obviously not going to cater to any alliance in particular, or be biased in any way, so please just give me some information that you think is important to work with. Thanks!

Dalinar Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Protection/money/community/guides like you said. Maybe link them to the alliance recruitment subforum as well so that it's utilized more: https://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/forum/45-alliance-recruitment/ Quote I will take responsibility for what I have done, if I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.

Bilal the Great Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Players that like wars should know about the awesomeness of alliance war. Also some alliances might give their members money for various reasons. Quote King Bilal the Great Mediocre The Average monarch of Billonesia Wikia page (if you're into roleplay things).

Atzuya Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 A simple one-time message saying something like "Hey! You should consider joining an alliance! It's a great way to interact with fellow players and plan your stuff together!" with a link to the forum should be enough. Altho all the constant bickering here might be a major turnoff for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 As you mentioned, it's almost necessary to join an alliance to fully enjoy the game. An alliance doesn't only give you protection and aid, but it's a separate community. Many alliances have forums outside of the game to help in communication and alliance unity. On these alliance forums, you build bonds with fellow alliance members, which really add to the appeal of a nation sim game such as this.

Chapsie Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Someone suggest me, which alliance shall I join? I won't be bias, but if you like your pixels and hug them to death. Join the GPA and we can make your pixels bigger. Quote We have seized the means of production. Though union, and self-governance, we have organized between all peoples of the land.

Dan77 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Give them money for joining an alliance. Give them more when they have stayed with an alliance for 30 days. Could create them as player missions which pay out automatically when complete. Everyone who logs in more than a couple of times would join an alliance then. You could expand on the missions idea to encourage war, production or any number of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicboyd25 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Maybe also have an annoying notification at the top recommending they join an alliance so they can be protected. When they join one it will disappear. On top of the other stuff of course. You can offer money, but this would just be a small thing to annoy them into doing it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
