All fan site around the world, help this campaign
....................

Maxis, we need a return from you ...

I understand that you want to extend the franchise to the consoles, but that does not mean removing all the attention of the franchise's PC ...

I'm an admin of a Brazilian site about Spore (www.discoveryspore.com) and visits are falling each day, making people don't have interest on Spore.

But we need news of the main game, people are forgetting Spore.

Just see the main fan sites about Spore around the world, they are becoming forgotten and few interesting news ...

Please Maxis, give feedback to Spore communities, releasing something new, whatever, on Spore for PC. Or will happen as in 2006, when many communities were closed due the lack of news ...

To make a greater pressure for an answer, let's make a petition of users and fan sites ... Please, everyone who are interested in this appeal, post here by signing the campaign.

In Portuguese

Maxis, precisamos de um retorno de vocês...

Entendo que vocês querem estender a franquia para os consoles, mas isso não significa retirar toda a atenção da franquia do PC...

Sou administrador de um site brasileiro sobre Spore (www.discoveryspore.com) e as visitas a cada dia diminuem mais, tirando o interesse de Spore pelas pessoas

Mas precisamos de notícias sobre o jogo principal, as pessoas estão esquecendo-se de Spore.

É só ver os principais fã sites sobre Spore do mundo, eles estão ficando esquecidos e com poucas notícias interessantes...

Por favor Maxis, dê um feedback as comunidades de Spore, lançando alguma novidade, qualquer que seja, sobre Spore para PC. Ou vai acontecer como em 2006, muitas comunidades foram fechadas devido a falta de notícias...

Para fazer uma maior pressão de uma resposta, vamos fazer um abaixo assinado de usuários e de fã sites... Por favor, todos que estiverem interessados nesse apelo, poste aqui assinando a campanha.

I'm on. I think maxis should release more informations about what they will/would like to improve in Spore. I like the games for wii, ds and iphone, but i think maxis shouldn't forget the main game. I'm not asking you to make lots of expansions, I know the Maxis situation but you should think more about the Spore - PC/MAC, because this is the most important game in the franchise.

I'm admin of a Brazilian Spore fan site too, and I everyday hear from the user what they want, and some times this make the diference when you want to make a game. So, I am not asking you to make 10 expansions, if you make just one, but a perfect one, with the things that the users want, will be perfect: the game will be more popular, and you will win more.

I visited 24 of Spore fan sites:

3 did not update the last month
7 did not update the last 3 months
6 were closed in recent months
5 is moderately active, with silly news, but being updated
3 has been updated this week

I do not know if Maxis cares, but the community is very important for the advertising of the game (especially outside the U.S.)

If there is a reaction now, more sites will be closed.

I think that would be bad for all

Please, fan sites and members, sign =)

In fact, that Maxis could do?

• Editor of Flora at the end of the year
• News about what is now being developed (Images, etc.)
• More than one package of objects
• More featured with PATCHES
• Feedback on the ideas forum

Just ideas. The team at Maxis can do much more

See, I love Maxis - both the company and the employees behind the computer screens - they are a great bunch to communicate with and possibly some of the kindest folks I have met. Yes, I suppose I can about a few things - mainly the flora editor that never was released and it's been awhile since we last heard about the 360° screenshot tool.

However, I don't doubt a second that they are still working on it - they have many projects in the pipeline to expand the Spore series, but the Maxis team will not forget the main gamers who still love and play the original PC game. Problem is, they are just not ready to divulge such information yet. And the route it appears to be, the Maxis team isn't going to be pumping out expansion after expansion...there are just too many open doors available for them to explore and new ways to bring for the Spore series.

Also, keep in mind that the team had to lay 24 of it's own staff members off, which tool a pretty hard impact on the other employees (as well as the ones who were let go).

Remember, we have Spore Creature Keeper to look forward to - if it still is aiming to be on the PC. Although you may be disappointed as it's a spinoff with a more kid-friendly approach.

However, I love me some Spore, so I'll take anything they'll toss at us, as long as I own the appropriate system they put it on.

Love or not Spore / Maxis does not matter.
Remember, not a campaign anti-Spore/Maxis. It is quite the contrary, is a campaign for Spore

The fact is that Maxis is not paying attention to master franchise (for PC). And it is this franchise that 'activates' community

The SimPrograms should not be passing the problem of most communities in spore, it is also focused on The sims

In Brazil and the world communities are dying. For the reason of being in news for months

6 of 24 fan sites were closed in recent months

We just want more attention to Spore (PC).

We just need to know the current situation of Spore (PC) ... He is still alive or not? Seems not ...

Sorry for bad English. I hope you understand what i said

We need more Spore on PC, 'cause this was the real platform of the game.
Making Spore for other consoles and handhelds won't help the main players.

Personally, I want a aquatic stage and improvements on RTS-ish stages on Spore, such as Tribal and Civ Phases.
But all that Maxis do now is Spore for iPhone and DS, focused on single-stage games.

Honestly, I stoped played Spore since October because I want more.
More news, more expansions, more fun. Is all that I want.

I am a Brazilian, but think that all countries of the world should help this campaign.
Count me in ! (And sorry about my bad english)
