hi, i'm new here but this is what have got to say

to get people to sign up you should offer weekly/monthly newsletters,
in the forum have a section for just any general chit-chat, section for any other mmo games

also would it be possible to have a games arcade to play games in, i know that on foums there are games which have highscores linked to the forum, which enable the forum to have little competions.

i've got other bits and bobs but i need to think them through
