They have a system that invites new players and makes it fun for them until they get a BB1. At that stage the person decides if they want to stick with it or play something else. With the exp in the game at this point anyone can get there in 1 month of play with prem. So if you get new people with 1 month of prem they come to the crossroads of stick it out for bb5-bb6 or play something else.
Since there is little actual help for new players SDE is wanting them to fuck up their first crew. That way they will spend some extra cash to make a good second crew. As of late tho there is so many issues with navyfield so many crashes that people are getting fed up. The wait time is up and generaly most NF players are assholes to new players. This dosn't help the new guys that SDE wants so bad.
Yet SDE basicly shafts the old players who have given them money who has multiple bb5-6's that they have spend money on. They don't listen to the people who are dedicated and are willing to give them money each month. I at one time was one of those people. I would get my prem every month and a few items and be on my happy little way. At this point I do not see myself giving them any more of my money.
As a "old" player I would love to work on some more lines and frankly i would have given them more money to do it, but at this time with all of the problems in the game I just don't feel it anymore. At least 1/10 games I crash. Every patch they bring out they mess up ballance or create more stability issues. Santa event i was crashing 1/4 of the time....
You tell SDE that they have a problem and they basicly tell you to screw off. So why would the old people who are willing to spend the money keep giving them money?
So in short yes Dan they are makeing money right now but it is short turm not long term. I personally don't call what SDE is doing good buisness sense as I would expect my product to get better over time. They are shooting themselves in the foot by not looking at big picture. Listen to your die hard players they recruite for you they spend money on you. When i started this game i got 10+ friends to try it. I would not recomend this game to any of my friends anymore.
Is that how you make more money? 3> The server population i.e. the registered numbers of accounts created on the NA servers is large but the numbers of people playing them is very small, plus the amount of multiple accounts played by one person. There's more people leaving the game than joining and this has been the case for several years.
Remember when Yuno nearly lost his job because of a "whole in profits" totalling $500,000 USD due to an overly generous event? SDE can't afford to keep up servers on a game with a shrinking profit margin and the moment that their losses overtake their income the game will be licensed to another company, like E-Fusion in the EU server.
If its not worth doing the servers will shut down, this is a natural progression, the fact that the game on the Arizona\Iowa is more populated by people outside of north America now, compared to in 2005-2008 means the likelihood of another company distributing Navyfield from North America is small, therein affecting the population again and there's no guarantee at all that our accounts would be safeguarded in such an event.
Merging servers will do exactly what Yuno feared, i.e. the total population will shrink slightly, the activity on the server will peak for a period of a few months then sharply decline to the point where the remaining servers will need to merge again until there's just 1.
Navyfield won't "die" soon, it is dying though, its terminal, the greatest fleets and the high water marks in NF was reached a LONG time ago, we as a "Gigaflota" are riding the crest of a wave that is temporary, and also riding the coattails of the decline in other fleets power. 4> http://www.jedifleet.com/smf/index.php?topic=8563.30
