Two thoughts.
One, that a good way to monetize and attract new users would be to have physical zOMG merch with in-game benefits (item, ring, power up, obscene number of orbs, what have you- just so long as it's zOMG specific so people have to try the game to see what they got.) I'm an older (not by much, I hope!) Gaian and I have bills enough that paying for things that only exist online is never going to become a thing I do often. I suspect a lot of people who wouldn't spend money on GC would be willing to spend towards the higher end of reasonable pricing for an item that had in-game benefits, and some of the animated are attractive enough that it wouldn't just be people who have already played that part of the game.

That's not a bad idea! Neopets did that with most of their merchandise, and I know I ended up getting a lot of it for me and my family. (Heh still have all the plushies! *looks up at my limited ed Green Cybunny plush* lol)
Maplestory has the cards...
This might be a good one to bring up in the zOMG forums!
ninja So, uh.... you wanna start the thread there? lol
I'm not online often enough these days to maintain a thread, but I absolutely will not mind if you or anyone else makes such a thread.
I don't expect credit if that turns out to be something that the devs can use. wink
Ok, I think this is a great idea... Hell, I'd even pay extra markup to have some sort of zOMG virtual bonus for buying real zOMG items! (Keep your 25% sale, hell throw in another $2.50 per item and hand me a random new zOMG themed item for my avi!)
Ok, what do you guys think?
(And where in the heck do I put this in the main forums so that they know I'm talking about a Merchandise tie in??? I looked and can't find an appropriate forum sweatdrop )
