<div class="IPBDescription">Expand, grow - this is how</div><!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Step (1)<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
We shall have new possible paying customers see the NS2 "teaser" video when they enter <a href="http://www.naturalselection2.com/" target="_blank">http://www.naturalselection2.com/</a>


<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Step (2)<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Our NS2 "teaser" video shall end with these words "FALL <b>2009</b>", "PRE-ORDER NOW!"
With the upload date of the "teaser" on YouTube; <b>May 27, 2009</b>.


<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Step (3)<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Above the NS2 "teaser" video we shall have a FAQ that will lead to: "When can we expect the alpha?"
With the answer: "I'm afraid we're <u>not ready to give you a date</u> for this yet!"
with the date; <b>May 28, 2009</b> (so they know last time we didn't know when alpha is coming).

< <!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->What did "FALL 2009" mean on May 27, 2009 if "not ready to give you a date" with alpha on May 28, 2009? - Who cares<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> >
I don't care, keep going with our strategy planning! <b><3</b>

<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Step (4) Final Step<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Now our new possible paying customer will feel the hunger to click pre-order button.


>These details are the details new possible customers will see that are not fans, it will make them insecure on pre-ordering, etc.
>Why don't people see that? :X

>And some people do actually move on, so why should not this get the attention it deserves? Insted of having 6 pages of fan screaming QQ.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

whats your point? that you have been enslaved to test a game and create maps? and that you have to pay for it? did anybody stick a gun to your head? if yes, i would call the police.

PS: no good will come out of this thread

<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->I'm sorry. I don't think you understand.
There should be some light cast on the strategy because it's important for the new folks, really.

If you don't care about NS2 team will get more people interested in the game, then your a selfish one.
I don't think NS2 team only want to love fans, they want to love every gamer.

I get my friends to check out <a href="http://www.naturalselection2.com/" target="_blank">http://www.naturalselection2.com/</a>, they say naaaah.
Because of what I just said. So how can you ignore this? It's not just them, it's many people like non fans like most of you are.

Sorry to burst your perfect bubble. Your not really interested in the best of NS2 teams future.

And by the way, <u>don't read my first</u> post <b><u>if</u></b> you don't get irony!<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Right back at you. By the way, congrats with totally showing everyone you know how to post a photo in a thread.
If you keep posting those photos in other threads you will probably win a gold medal.

thanks ligero for telling me that your post was ironic.
In my kindness i tell you now that my post was sarcastic, i would even say a little ironic, i hope i can help you with that as much as you helped me.

PS: if this didn't help you, i give you one more hint. This post too is ironic

whoppaXXL

You are probably right about the not ongoing Communication in form of the Teaser, etc.
But think about what happens in the opposite. They're putting their Time into the game rather than in such a little miss spell.

It is clear that a wrong introduction to the Game can be frustrating (example the false date), but if there's really interest one will see what the Dev's are up to I believe.

And stating your point ironical doesn't make you more credible in view of the People here.

Thanks, congratulations on showing everyone you know how to do nothing but whine because of the $40 you used on a pre-order you haven't received yet.

You missing the point, let me clear that one out. - Read first post again.

Well, you're apparently bitter about something.. Concealing it behind your "frustration about a 'failed' marketing strategy" doesn't hide it very well.
