Ghostees: The Idea

October 3, 2007

While discussing our mad scheme one afternoon, we started to brainstorm on ideas for our virtual world debut. We came up with several but we wanted something distinctly different. Halloween was coming up and the topic eventually turned to a virtual world based on this favorite holiday for many.

But won’t a Halloween based virtual world be too seasonal? We would be swarmed with players for a month and then we would have a ghost town on our hands…literally! I think there are kids out there that are sick of the sticky sweet worlds of Penguins and really want something different. True but how can we smooth out the inevitable spike we’ll see during the holiday?

Simple. Do all the major holidays as expansions. As a holiday approaches let’s build a road to connect the Halloween town to the Christmas town. People that don’t want to be ghosts can be elves. This also smoothes out the load across the year and hopefully appeals to a wide audience. Who doesn’t love holidays anyway?
