Also stefan is quite the dumbass. Balancing out weapons is the best way to get more users. Take the game Trigger Fist. a very well balanced game. Has over 1,000,000 people registered on it via game center. People play the **** outta this game why? Because it gives new players a chance. Also it is very easy to gain EXP in this game. If stefan REALLY wants the money, you start out by lisning to the players. More players = more money.
Another way is provide players with help, aka a good staff (witch era lacks).
Learning to provide players with easier ways to make money. Why? So then people will SHARE the game. Make offers to share the game. Like 1000 graalets per email. This will get players to share the game making it more notorious.
