I agrea with you that a lot of players do not understand or know what CND is or even who NEVERDIE is, Also with the Crystal Palace Space Place then a new player may think why is this place cheeper than going to CND ( arrive @ CP ) and it looks poor compared to the wonders of CND and you instantly get killed in newb armour and its more or less deserted . Mind Ark really should look at updating CP so it looks a bit nicer and not like its going to fall appart and add mining and a few domes or something there they also have the way back TP to Port Atlantis fr 10 ped. ( no waiting for pilots )

I personally think if you went to Crystal Palace and had the expirience I did you would not realise the potential of Club Neverdie and it been so different I am in a small soc with appx 16 other players and I would say 12 of us have been up to CND and a couple of us go 1 may be 2 times a month and so we do promote it within the soc and have good times up there.

We do promote the shopping but it can be a pain to get up and down I am not the most patient of people and if i decide I am going to do something then I normally want to do it there and then ( why not this universe is not the real world and I can ) I have a lesser tp chip and love to hyper jump around ( cant do this at CND very annoying when a mob in the middle of the dome kills you and you actually have to run ) .

Also you can get addicted if again like me you are on a smaller monthly budjet because of the real cash economy you can blow way more ped than you thought you would ( just another 50 bombs or 5000 ammo ) and before you know it thats like another 300 ped gone. This isnt just at CND but throughout and so sometimes if your loots been crappy then you just want to go home.

If you went to CND found you had some skins & wool at present there is no where to get any molisk teath exept the auction ( then you need to pay transport costs ) making crafting hard for new people up at CND also people get heavy. It can be a pain that there are no storage terminals and you cant access your kit that you have on the islands. not all of us can afford an 800+ ped appartment. But then i dont belive NEVERDIE should have to reduce his appartments. After all CND property is an exclusive investment nice work to the person that has installed a dance floor and allowed it to be public THATS WHAT THE CND COMMUNITY NEED !.

When the flights dropped to 15 ped it was great and made it seam cheeper yes i know in real life we are talking nothing - sorry i really switch off in game and every ped & pec counts 5 ped to me in game is quite a lot 30 ped instead of 40 is even better and I would come up even more to CND if it stayed like that.

No one has ever advertised the actual cost to a pilot of the flights ( yes I know there is an investment there but how much is it really costing you to fly those ships ) I think geeze that pilot has just made 80 ped in 10 mins for me to get 80 ped loot back takes a long time. look at the loots 50 ped globals are common with occasional 100+ and the whacking All Time highs are there for the minority

How to fix and get more poeple

1) have storage terminals rather than having to dump a global in the auction and pay 1 ped for 7 days storage and then pull it out to fly back
2) allow tp chips to be used ( I may be dreaming on this one )
3) introduce some molisk to the place ( thats if there is even dna for them yet ) so you can craft basic pants from a technician
4) try and get MA to improove CP and its area so it looks more inviting
5) have an instant tp to the space resort for + 2 ped more than a current pilot price with the ped going in to loot pools both ways
6) Make the animation on the space ships better inside when you are flying ( externalls look great ) its better
7) have a wider range of space ships so that you dont have to have 4 people on a trip you could have 1 2 or 8 with different prices
8) dont have all of the domes as pvp again a lot of players are worried that in pvp you can get looted - try explaining it is only the red ant shock area it takes too long and they forget. people are skared of loosing there kit and most new people dont like the thought of pvp.
9) It must be very annoying being a pilot and I have sympathy for you but it is sometimes annoying when all you see at the control room and twin is tickets for sale and then when you want one theres no pilot - I heard the other night there were 3 up at cnd and non down at the islands and so had to wait ! ARGH ! ( If you pay 40,000 ped for a hanger dont expect to get this back in a hurrey unfortunatly you cant tax this)
10) ask MA to have a TP installed that you can use for free for 1 version update ( yes I know pilots and hanger owners wont like this ) but open it up to everyone so they can come and see for themselfs if its then worth paying for a flight up as you can go to tresure island free.

Sorry theres a lot in this but look forward to the comments

& remember because its a real cash economy people have different budjets I may be able to blow 1000 ped a month but others may only be able to blow 300 / 400 a month and then there are some with unlimited funds ( 40 ped return trip = 3 hours play according to MA $1-50 hour unnoficial play rule )
