As Planetside 2 moves forward I'd like to propose something to everyone that a lot of you might already be doing and have already realized.
A lot of people are already following the development of PS2 with great attention but countless more are not simply because they do not even know what Planetside is.
One of the most powerful marketing tools available is the word of mouth. If something is good enough and it is being talked about and passed on from person to person conversation to conversation it only takes a little time before you've achieved something for free that big companies spend millions per year making TV commercials for.
SOE as you know is making PS2 for PS1 fans but are just as dedicated to tapping new markets of players whom in 2003 were too young to understand games but are now 16-20 years old.
Many people are fans of MMO's and FPS games, but fewer might know about PS2. I suggest that you, the loyal PS1 fans and newcomers talk about PS2 as much as you can to those who are even remotely interested in FPS` or MMOs.
Everywhere you go and you meet new people who are into these games, don't be afraid to drop PS2 into there somehow or at least point them in the right direction.
There are few MMOFPS` out there and it's relatively new in the genre so if we are able to help PS2 become very successful, it can only benefit us in the end as SOE and other developers alike see the potential of MMOFPS`.
I am sure there are untold millions out there who have never heard of PS2. I'm sure SOE will probably do a lot of marketing near release but it never hurts to have an army of people marketing for free on your behalf.
