Indeed.

sokker statistics in google

best moment to improve this product was in 2006. since 2009 it was too late

I don't understand that comment. So improvements in your eyes are to late just because there are less managers now as at that moment? If so, I recommend you not to start your own business ;)

It's not about number of users, but about the interest in sokker, gaining new users etc.
if the number was decreasing solely because of sudden rush of old users leaving, but the number of new users was stable - then there would be no problem

the problem is that the number of people registering on the site is amazingly low compared to what it was even 2 years ago [~700/800 new registers each week, now it's ~200-300]

most people who were possible 'clients' already checked the game and decided that they don't want to play it

That is just nonsense. Every year new cohorts are born. There is a steady supply of potential new users. Furthermore, people do come back. It is absolutely not true that once checked out, people never look back. They do. Especially if people get them to do so. Word of mouth is so damn important.

Then please explain me why less than 50% people are trying this game each week than it was 2 years ago? :)

There are so many possible reasons that no-one can say "this or that is the reason"


But is all statistic. It says nothing about the future.
I remember HT back in 2003. It was a hype in some groups where i came. So that was the reason that i started to play there. Then around 2007 some of them said to me that sokker was even more awesome, so i joined.
After that, they stopped studying ansd started working and had not so much time anymore so they quit both games. Not because of anything else but new wife en work...

(That is still the most heard argument of people that realy quit i hear, i hear indeed some people screaming they will quit for this or that is sokker or HT, but they do that for more then several years, but do not realy quit at all :P )

The reasons i hear from the people i tried to get here and do not stay is that the game is to difficult and to timeconsuming and to very long time before real results. exactly the reasons i like this game so much more then HT ;)
in 2005-2006 there where not so much realy experienced users, so it was more easy to grow and have some quick results. It was nicer for starters. But since then the people who stayed became so much stronger...

I do not think there is a very big market of users for sokker. A lot of people do not want to invest more then a year of their time to achieve the first results. I can't blame them, i can only say it is worth it ;)

No goals in the game, such as who earn most, who has the biggest stadium, challenges to beat a computer player, a simpler system to get friendly, friendly between countries (a group vs other), and so on, very few can reach the first division, this should not be the goal in the game.

Quite a few other possibilities. SK doesn't show up on the radar, so people simply don't know it's there. It looks hideous, so more people might give it a pass without so much as signing up. Whatever the reason is, common sense tells you that a) new people are born, and b) the numbers never were high enough to come even close to exhausting the potential. A simple comparison with HT shows that HT gets thousands new users every day. (It loses more users than it retains, but that's beside the point.) Don't tell me the market is exhausted. It simply cannot be true.
