I went to Google and typed in "space mmo" and SS came up number 8 or 9, which is good i think, at least its on the first page.
Our webpage looks like crap compared to other games, and by other games im comparing to Eve. I've never played eve, and from what I understand its a totally different game and people here seem to hate it, but whatever, its the top dog in the space MMO genre.
They have nicer pics and much more visually appealing webpage. The SS site needs to get a good looking picture at the top where it says "SS2 is live". needs to be an artists rendering of a real SS event, like having a base with a levi flying past it with a sun and an AI station in the background or something. then maybe a cool ship like an AWC in the foreground shooting a good looking Pick. That would keep visitors attention right from the get go.
Instead of a button that says "free download" it should say something like "PLAY NOW" or "Get Started" or "Start your unlimited Trial now!"
GET RID OF EVERY PIC ON THE CURRENT SITE. They all suck and are from an antiquated client. Get better pics on there ASAP, you did the contest where you got some good ones, use them.
Or hell, you guys are admins, create artificial situations on a test server to get some badass pics. I'm sure you could get some help from some of the brown nosing players to go on a private mini universe with you guys and do some fake fighting with huge BVB battles and the like.
I wanna see better visuals on the main page, and change the wording on the download button...it sounds like you have to do work before you get to play. if you say "GET STARTED NOW!!!" it makes people feel like they are jumping in the ship and the canopy is closing as they are about to blast off into space. Sounds dumb, but we all are here playing a space game on our computers....so we eat that shit up....
And FFS, clean up the forum already, bageese. You've been an admin for like 48 hours. I want results damnit!
. Get rid of the two different bug sections, there should be no SS2 forums at all, all the forums are SS2 now....Fix shit, or give me the power to do the work and I'll make it happen.
