I know I wouldn't have protested. i thought about that after the fact, and I think it sucks that that one terrible, terrible feat might have been their push to find out if they could find other players. They could have found other fans who were willing to pay: i don't believe that the only people they could possibly find were the group of us they already had.

    I just wish the call to invite people had been handled differently. It should not have been a feat, but it was beta - they could have told us they were experimenting with how best to attract new players and asked for our help to see if an e-mail campaign would work, with a small credit offering for people who joined and stayed for x amount of time. I feel like it would have been more genuine, and more people would have responded to it in a much more positive manner.

    There was more than the feat though, the push for Twitter snaps and the Liking on Facebook as well as our own "Join Me" pages may have all been some form of advertising. They did do a last ditch advertising thing on some websites close to the weekend before the announcement (a few people in PBMS saw the ads which were basically just "Play Glitch!") but some of the sites that also posted them brought in the wrong audience (an influx of underage players jumped on after that). This is all just my own speculation, but really, there could have been other options, but it just didn't happen.
