Hey, before every launch I send out emails to everyone who has an account on this forum letting them know the new launch is coming, so if they check the email they used to sign up here (assuming they used a real email) then they at least know it's coming.
All I can do is hope they see the message and decide to come give it a try.

Is it just those who have an account on the forum or is it the forum and the game.Yea, Justin, they were some great people, and remember Russ was with the GC before the legion, I tried to get a hold of nightshade thru his poet site, not sure if I got an E-mail to him of not

I just use the forum. As was pointed out recently there is script to email those from the game too, but I announce always announce the new release in the game and point to the forums. Don't want to hammer people over the heads too much that there's a new version. Besides, with the resets all account info gets erased, so I could only email those with accounts in V5 anyways. With the forum I get anyone that's ever made and account here.

It gets hard. After all of Tims versions and all of Craigs versions, you get cool with a lot of members. When they all disappear it can be hard to find the motivation to keep playing. It helps that I help make it though And you all can help. Anyone you used to know that doesn't play anymore, you can email them and ask them to play new versions. I have dozens of emails that I send out from time to time. Personal emails are more often read than the spam type that game owners send out.

This is why I try to keep my email blasts to a minimum. If I sent them out all the time, people will either ignore them or delete their account here to avoid them...
A personal approach is always better!

And you all can help. Anyone you used to know that doesn't play anymore, you can email them and ask them to play new versions. I sure would help out with that...if I had any friends. I actually did get Coel/Jenlyn to come back. Of course, he's the one that got me to come back first. He's the only person I knew how to contact outside of the game/forum though. Not sure where alMordre got off too. Hopefully he'll come back for the official launch.

yeah about the emails.....i wish i thought to get em but i thought they wouldnt quit also, nightshade hasnt posted anything new on darkpoetry.com (sp???) so i doubt we could get ahold of him that way PS why dont we make a facebook page tim? then we can bug anyone from there to come back! (in later versions of course haha)

That's a good idea, about facebook, but with Tim working on V6..7...8, it may be a better idea to have someone else do it. Dragonmount has a facebook and a twitter page, that just maybe we could hook up with. Man , Tintomara would have been great for this. And Justin I tried to get hold of nightshade thru darkpoetry, it didn"t work. I knew his Mom was real sick the last time I talked with him

Around the time V5 launched, I was pretty sure somebody said they were working on setting up a Facebook page for it... Guess that fell through. If you guys want to do it, go for it! If not, keep prodding me and I'll probably get to it eventually.
