I've really enjoyed reading all your comments and thoughts on this subject. I can't tell you how much I agree about YouTube promotions, I don't know what the monetary deals with the popular YouTuber's are but from every single video ever made it seems like a waste of money. I mean yes money is made off the sales but it's always the same, we hit peak player counts around 2K maybe more and then a month later were back down to around 500-900 then as time goes on we always get back to being around 49-200 players on and off peak hours. I've said this from day one that these YouTube promotion sales need to have a training day before they record their videos. We have such a large group of not only CA's who are willing to help a hand but Vet players who could help as well. It would only take a minimum of an hour or two of training. Stick three YouTuber's on a ship with a vet and teach them the basics. Yes these YouTuber's need to have an appealing video to their audience but almost every video I've seen does a terrible job of showing how to play because none of them are using anything in the right way. As Mr.Disaster pointed out many YouTuber's like Joe make comments that really affect a person judgement of the game, and that then leads to false ideas about the game. I only want to chime in on the YouTube promotion side of the conversation, and say that I do agree so far many of the videos made are terrible but I do believe it could work it just needs better execution and planning after all many of my friends inclunding myself found Guns of Icarus through a YouTuber. As for all other points made I see a lot of great ideas, I really enjoy the idea of making VIP a game mode. I think the Devs are doing a good job, yes some things lack but they are really busy trying to push out alliance while working on so many things at a time.
