i think most of the new players are quitting becaause they have no idea wat they are doing,

so i thought maybe miking the wkik page called 'Help' instead

and also maybe if you put

'New to PLant wars? Click HERE for some help'

on the new users home page like the first five times the load the home page, so it goes away after a while,

and make it a lot simpler, maybe with screenshots aswell

i found it pretty easy to figure out what was going on. i think more signups would just be good.

I think you should advertise on Buskerwars.

well for me i had absolute no idea wat to do

until Moritz told me everything


and i had absolutly no idea wat 'Wiki' meant until i went to it

and at least five people i told about the game i had to help in some way, or tell them everything soo...





and most of then newbies look like they have jut logged in the first time, 'WTF' and then never came back

All right, well, now that you know what's going on.. The link's changed to "Help," and seeing as it is a wiki, you're welcome to jazz it up :D

considering that there is like 600 players who gave up instantly, i think it is a pretty large problem

they do when you reward people for inviting their friends. one guy on buskerwars referred over 100 people so i could give him a purple name.

The current referral "system" (for the colony giveaway) is pretty clunky, I have to admit. A referral link would be nice, and an easy way to track such things.

/agree with Fazed.

You need to level up before you can talk here.
