Free RPG, gets you hooked
Gather resources, make items, meet
people, travel. 100% in character.

Fitting stuff in just a few lines turns out to be hard. Some arguments we could use:

- dedicated players/community
- high quality roleplaying
- travel in a vast world
- 900+ types of manufacturable items (Currently we have 617 manufacturable items + 288 clothing articles = 905 total.) - Although since you need to get the resources first, new people could be disappointed.
- addictive

Get a life …or 15 of them
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
rich man, poor man, beggar… pirate?

Tinker, tailor,
soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man
beggar, …note thief? Only in Cantr.

I know some will disagree with this marketing strategy and I know it's arguable considering how addictive Cantr is... But I would suggest emphasizing in a couple ads that playing Cantr doesn't require hours upon hours of non-stop play to get anywhere. I've played grind games before and Cantr has ruined them for me. lol Usually, I don't have time to bother leveling a char for 5 hours a day to advance, and when I do have time it bores me very quickly now. Cantr gives me the flexibility to log in for 5 minutes a day or several hours, depending on what time I have available.

Agreed! This is the main reason I've been around as long as I have. If I have to all but stop playing over tax season or something, I won't 'lose out' since it only takes a few monites on the weekends to stay updated in-game. Cantr, the anti-grind!

Plus the fact gathering and projects progress while you are LOGGED OUT! Amazing concept that some games (EVE excluded) should really pick up on.
