My unimportant thoughts on the Hospital and player retention issue

Aeros opened a pandora's box here, but I for one support placing a Q2 hospital in New York and Texas. What's the worst that could happen? Then if that works, continue expanding to other major population centers.

I also support a larger corps of people messaging noobs. I for one have retained 3 players in this eWorld. Look through random shouts for people that are new (often when people just join they shout out Hello). All I did was explain to them how to handle wellness, hinted at how awesome the game is, and linked them to more traditional new players' articles. Now if every active citizen would retain just 1 citizen it would be more effective than any Q2 hospital. Just take 1 pay check out for a moving ticket and some food and your golden. Not every player you reach out to will be retained but a much larger percentage than the percentage we're reaching now would be gained. Don't forget to mention that they can join the army at level 5 (or 6, can't remember which). A lot of people like role playing as an army guy. Or mention politics if that's not there thing. There's no level limit to networking.
