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!
