  • What Puzzle Pirates SHOULD do to get bigger. For Three Rings Executives


    This thread is hopefully for the three ring Puzzle Pirates executives to read.
    It will provide them with the necessary tools to grow Puzzle Pirates MMORPG into a much larger scaled game for more players. This thread is merely quality tips and discussion previously discussed in an MSN convo I had with a Badb77

    Tip # 1
    : Invest your money, 3 Rings.
    Honestly, wtf are you spending your money on lately? Almost every player that plays puzzle pirates spends at least $10 on the game buying dubs. Invest your money to build Puzzle Pirates bigger. This leads to the next tip.

    TIP #2 : Do what Works!

    Take Godaddy.com or Evony online. Look at there ads...they have beautiful women on every single ad. Yeah..it's sleezy...and a bit annoying, but they are dominating. Godaddy is currenly #1 hosting and domain registrar and Evony...well Evony has picked up over 6,000,000 players with there ad campaign.
    In the meantime, I see these crappy Puzzle Pirate ads that NO ONE wants to click on. I've played both, I enjoy Puzzle Pirates more, I know others would too. Fire your publicity team, get a new one to read this. Gold.

    TIP #3:
    Improve the graphics to 3D.
    Now that you have listened to tips #1 and #2, you'll have hundreds of thousands of new players. It'll be difficult, yet you'll have the funds to do it with all the new players. Do what runescape did, they used to have a 2D MMORPG....which is what Puzzle Pirates has. Now they have a 3D MMORPG game, and alot of new players intereacting alot longer.

    TIP #4: Admit that Puzzle Pirates is a gambling game.
    For me, Puzzle Pirates taught me how to play poker, and from there I played Full Tilt and all those other online poker websites. I can bet you that theres alot of people with the same history...that Puzzle Pirates turns average gamers into gamblers. . Its sad. but true. Anyways, now that it's in the open, Poker players will come play! And people can spend more money on dubs to play pokker. (Sarcasum.)

    Tip #5: Stop opening new Oceans.
    Why do you keep opening up new oceans? Theres like 2-3 oceans barely functioning due to lack of players. Malachite, Midnight...cobalt...

    TIP #6 Stop catering to children. Really.
    (aka family ocean..wtf??

    TIP #7: Allow Poker Tourneys

    Tip #8: Stop giving away so many familiars!
    Anyone remember the time when familiars were impossible to get? Now it seems like everyone has them. Then theres also the players who have like 90 of them since they dominate a single puzzle due to there natural ability at puzzling.

    Tip #9: Stop Banning/unbanning based on how much money they spent

    This is...perhaps one of the most irresponsible way to run a business. Yes its a business, but these are your clients. Clients come before money. It shows you only care for the money. Also the intense bannign needs to stop. I've seen people get banned for swearing... you know what Im talking about.

    TIP # 9: Don't take these tips personal.
    They are true.

    P.S I thought this needed a repost.


    TIP # 10: Make me CEO and I'll get er' done.

      maybe a short Q & A when you first sign up and place ppl in age approate oceans....and insteading of banning ppl for botting....create an ocean where it is OK.....also they might try to incorporate headset communications like WOW

      I love these tips. Especially the one about familiars. Pisses me off when people who suck at every single piracy puzzle, but are amazing at Treasure Drop, own like 30 fams. Just stupid. Maybe 1 fam per year for each puzzle, not like, 3 fams per month for every puzzle and carousing tournaments in between. The name should be called Gambling Pirates, not puzzle pirates haha.

      At tip 3, we have hundreds of thousands of new players, so why do we need to stop opening new oceans> Tip 5 should read :Open new oceans since my tips 1 and 2 have brought in soo many new players that we can afford it.

      **That is, if anyone is still reading the OP.

      Lol, yes, PP is boomin' alright. Those OP tips surely did the trick ;p. If anything, It's funny to see how deep PP has actually fallen in comparison to their good years. For those that've been around since 2007 ...

      Maybe a redesigned family ocean with more "landlubbin' employers" would work better. Where the censoring word landlubber actually means fag in-game. No joke.

      Pre-2007 was even better. It started going downhill when they decided to start adding new crap.

      So what threads are and are not applicable for gravedigging? I'll search all of those that meets the criteria and shout 'NIPPLES' in them to bump them up. You can delete my extra post count from them if you want.

      It happened before, I wasn't the one who shouted nipples, though
