The above is going to become a reality if we don't fix a growing problem. A gaming company is only really as good as it's forums. If you went on any website such as World of Tanks. They have millions of users and thousands of users on their externals at any given moment.
I have noticed over the past few months that grepolis is in a rapid decline. People are leaving and simply calling it quits not usually just in-game but usually on the forums where they can't seem to socialize with anyone.
My following ideas will hope to not only to benefit the grepo community but make Inno big bucks if they do it properly.
I hope my ideas are not as far out of this planet as the members who have left...
1~ Give grepo users incentives in-game when they create a forum account.
For example: Giving 200 gold in-game upon the creation of a forum account,.
2~ Update the forums with new innovative features.
For example: Add different backgrounds regularily, introduce new types of smileys, change the style of buttons, introduce music that synchronizes with your favorite radio station, etc....
3~ Why have people stuck with the term externals? Why not combine the externals to the internal-alliance forum!
For example (this may just be something grepo can't do but hope they will be able to accomplish):
I have roughly photoshopped the above image. My idea is that whenever someone founds an alliance and builds an alliance forum there will always be this tab called Grepolis Forum that is initially displayed. My idea is that the website somehow updates this data immediately to display in the alliance forum. I'm not sure if this is possible but would be cool. Also if the leaders and founders over time do not want this grepo forum in place they have the option to have it removed but be always put back in place later similarily how any forum tab is created. As a grepo player I never immediately knew that a grepo forum existed. It took me a few months before it dawned on me that yeah there's an external. If it's there right away it will create curiosity. Also it will be more convenient for people rather than flipping back and forth.
But also why this third idea is a big one is that the mass mails that the company sends people links to grepo forum well.... people tend to ignore them. This way if the grepo forum is incorporated with the alliance forum there will be more participation in events. Users will be more happy and more friendships will be made. A user will stay if they are happy and especially if they invest in gold and spend lots of it too. I usually get over a hundred posts a day in my alliance forum. That is a lot of viewers and participants if they saw a grepo forum tab would liven up the grepo forum completely.
And I am always open to feedback about this and willing to improve and add more ideas about how to improve the 'externals'.
I will move this to the ideas section with more format and only If I can get at least 50 supporters (hopefully longtime users of these externals)
