When a person logs on and wants to play a zombie game, they are going to try and think of a server they know of. If they end up with a choice between Jimbob's or Sally's server, and Sally had a cooler build, they will choose Sally's. Repeat players are very important because once they become loyal, any server you host will get enough players for it to launch into popularity. |
