Well, pretty much all MMO-like games out there offer specials, gifts and whanots in attempt to make players play the game. Every games i played keep sending me mails about their latest specials or events in vain hope i will play again. I don’t feel it’s the right way to make me play though; if i don’t find the game interesting enough, it doesn’t matter to me if it’s a X5 week-end, gears are cheaper, i get free gifts for logging on or that a bundle is 50% off. It’s nice for those who are already hooked to the game, but pretty useless at making players hooked in the first place.
Do you think it’s a good mean to keep players playing? Have you seen better ways to do it?
