I think it's important for the devs to be behind a promotional project for it to have any impact. They know their business environment and have better judgment than we about what might work in the marketplace.
That said, I love playing VO, would like to see more players, and will gladly participate in a promotional project that has the devs' support.
TGFT can trot out 5 or more Tridents when needed, if this helps with ideas.
