Second thought is could we come up with some marketing scheme and maybe offer game for free for a bit to swell the ranks?
I suggested a few things on marketing and advertising the game to a wider public. Like advertising this game in all of his Lux mobile games, Lux Touch, Lux USA, Lux DLX, Lux Roman. In all these mobile games there is no reference to the mother game Lux Delux and these games have been downloaded hundred thousand of times. So i think that is a good idea to get new players. I and other mods also came up with some different marketing campaigns and suggested it.
Dusitn replied that he recently started a marketing campaign without succes. Thats it. I suggest you send your ideas to dustin or start a topic here in the forums.
But to be honest and correct me if im wrong Dustin. Dustin doesnt want to spend to much energy on this old game anymore. He will still keep the tracker alive and host rooms 365. On occasion some tournaments and some small tweeks in the ranking system and or bugs and off course his service in the forums to new and old players.
I believe you and i KCF and many others want more but thats not realistic anymore i realise. You might think KCF that we mods are just here to police the game but everyone of us want to make this game bigger in their own way. We need the big boss for that. If you want to have something done you can speak to us but you really need to speak to Dustin.
This is what Dustin said 2 years ago on Luxtber awards:
Milltycoon: So, Dustin, do we have a plan to quadruple our membership this year?
█ dustin: no plan for quadruplets
█ dustin: I think we're fading into the sunset actually
█ dustin: all things change
PJB: nicely said
█ dustin: it's been amazing to see the arc of lux over the last 14 years
█ dustin: maybe it could have been a different arc
I think this is saying enough.
