Ok, I think that on the homepage of Zaraz, you know where it's giving the little intro to the game, you should add something that instructs people on how to begin playing. I've been in the chatroom several times where I've had people who have just come to the game and not knowing anything. That little intro you give there is a good start, and should get people interested, but it's not enough to keep people in the game who don't go to the trouble to really find out about it. If you've never played the game, you don't know if it's good or not, and if it doesn't draw your attention, you won't stay.
So, make something on the front that maybe gives you a few steps...obviously linking to a new page because there's not much room on the front page. But on the front page you could have a little "easy as 1, 2, 3" or something. It would have to be graphically based, not just a text link that says "easy as 1, 2, 3" because that would be dumb and people wouldn't like it. It doesn't have to say "easy as 1, 2, 3" either, that's just an example. But anyways, my point being is that there needs to be some more user-friendlyness to this game, before you ever start playing, because it appears that people are able to find this game as I always see new people on the online list, but never see them again, as they leave in frustration I'm sure. I think this game could easily have 1000+ players without a bunch of advertizing or putting money into it, just make it more user-friendly!
