Where is everyone!?
 
I keep getting online and hardly no one is online. Has our guild died or something while I was gone?

No hun, we're here. Lots are on vacation for the holidays (the real kind, not the big D's version ;) )

We're alive and kicking, Richard. It's just called busy busy busy during the holiday season, especially the next couple of days. :xwink:

It has been a busy couple of months...no doubt. I still have last minute things to do today!!

Unfortunately, that is not the only reason you have not seen many online. I've lost several friends/guild members to other games. Some quit or switched to basic access. The major reason that reprises itself?? "Lack of Content"

Putting that behind us (since this game is only 1 year old)...I'm CONFIDENT that Disney will not let us down in 2009. To be successful in this type of game market you need to compete in theme, content, quality, expandability and price. These all have a direct affect on player retention which is CRUCIAL (you know, profit for Disney). I will also say Disney is fair on pricing...most online games are higher and few are lower.

I have not seen as much advertising lately...hmmmm. Hopefully those funds have been reallocated into development. Disney has a well diversified staff that I'm certain is ready to roll out some awesome upgrades to maintain paying users.

I've contemplated switching to basic or leaving this game....but something about it keeps me going. I truly enjoy it and can't just walk away. Sometimes you just need a break.

Merry Christmas to all...and a Happy New Year!

WE are all still around. I know that almost all our guildmates have been ingame, but less often and for fewer hours during the holidays. I' ve been checking by way of the leaderboards, everyone is still active, just not as much. Everyone says they will be back after things calm down.

RICHARRRDDDDD!!! Blue and I are still here. We have had company over the holidays so haven't been on as much lately. And yesterday we lost power and were without it for 15 hours. * Gasp! It just came back on a bit ago. WOOHOO internet here I come.

We had to kick it Abe Lincoln style and played Apples to Apples by candle light.:treeani:

Haha, I am glad to see my worry sparked such a reaction. Hi everyone!

Haha, that is nothing Tandy, I was without power for 2 weeks a few years back. Big blizzard and we lived out in the middle of no where. It took a week and a half for the road crews to get the road cleared of snow, trees, and power lines, just so the power company could get out there. That was a fun two weeks though.
