I check back now (the night) and it is at 961. I wouldn't be suprised if the game gets shut down as a result of little to no players. We need to step up and do something. Perhaps you know a game that allows advertising other games, or doesn't mind it. Perhaps you know family or friends that would like to play. Either way, we need to at least try to re-populate the game. You can't just sit there and think, "I'll let somebody else recruit, I'm to lazy" or "I plainly just don't care". If you DO care, then please help recruit. Please sign up below for the position(s) you would like. Or don't even sign up, just thought if you were recruiting, you deserved some recognition. Contact Admin to get members from his other games (CN, ToGenerals) (You probably can't contact him here, because he's not paying attention to us lately) -Drake Anderson Advertise in other games to players of them (Make sure the game allows this) -Drake Anderson Tell family and friends about the game, and encourage them to join -Drake Anderson -Will Marksman Advertise in social networks/chat rooms (Make sure this is allowed) -Bolo Santosi -Titodafarmer I hope you join in and help re-populate Cyber Citizens!

My most sincere regards, Drake Anderson This happens a lot of times in games poeple come in and see what the game is like and leave if they don't like it, though you will keep core players through out the whole thing for the most part. Until things get them angry enough to leave. This game is not for everyone.

It's a simulation game like no other, and probably like no other game of any sort either. It's different. But I personally have gotten a couple of people to at least visit it, so it's worth a try.

Albion is working towards getting the new players to stay. It takes work for us to keep them. All parties should be organizing efforts to maintain recruiting on a consistent basis. This is a new players first contact with the citizens in the community. It's that connection that makes them feel like they can become part of it. The second step is paying attention to them and encouraging their feedback after they've joined your party. Otherwise, your efforts were in vain. Offer quick pointers. Get them to talk about themselves. Follow up with them and see how things are going and find out what they need. This isn't necessary for all, but for the majority. You get them comfortable enough and you have a better chance at retaining them, followed by them inviting friends. In the end, we can hope that if everyone does these things then we can maintain our population, although I don't necessarily believe it will lend any significant growth, but it may prevent further decline.

Drake's Murderer Posts: 3,382 Group: Members Member #4,414 Joined: January 11, 2010 City Rome Company Name [LaF] Productions Political Party La Politica Della Famiglia	Really I am not surprised that it is dropping steadily. The forums are getting to the there is nothing to talk about and you are not sure what will get you warned these days and the gameplay has been pretty stagnant for awhile. I would need to see some improvements before I would be willing to put my name on a recruiting message. I don't like leading people places where they are likely not to be happy. Guess it is a catch 22. I don't want to recruit until there is some updates, admin isn't likely to update unless there is more life here. :frownface: Sorry to be a downer. Not trying to rain on this parade and I wish well for everyone recruiting. Just explaining why I am reluctant...
