First- Atlantic makes sending letters a bit harder for me poor european, can I target any emails?
You can, but don't make the mistake of thinking it is the same.
The whole point here is showing commitment. Anyone can spend 2 seconds to click a petition, or 30 seconds to write a post, or a minute to write an email. Sending the mails, in the post, is different, and just as important and meaningful as sending that carefully crafted 31 page pitch document. It shows that someone was committed enough to commit it to paper, invest in envelope and stamps, and put it into the mail. In other words, it shows that you are serious about wanting to continue to be a consumer of CoH. It shows that CoH has a large, passionate, eager market just begging to be served.
If you have a real problem with postage, (and reading around I see that many of those letters already written today came from Europe), refer to
Altaholic Monkey's very generous offer to print out your letter and post it for you. But please, if you can, put in the investment yourself. That international postage with its post marks is part of what shows Disney just how committed we are, how serious we are about being prepared to spend money, and how much they'd love to have us as
their commited loyal customers.
Anything more beside letters normal user can do?
Oh, yes, there certainly is. We are very much hoping that this story is going to be covered by various media. We are obviously counting on the gamer sites being interested, but the sheer audacity and chutzpah of a passionate group of players walking up to the giant Mouse is possibly of wider interest too.
In fact, that's a secondary part. Even if Disney don't buy it, we are once again getting the idea that CoH is good enough for them to consider, that it is a product that represents a real investment opportunity. If this doesn't get other parties thinking that maybe CoH is something they could pitch for I'll be quite surprised.
So, same drill as ever about the 'Thank The Media' and helping to spread the word of any and all coverage it gets. Comments, likes, +1s and sharing of links always makes journo's and bloggers happy to have written about it.
