How to bring server back to life
« on: June 16, 2015, 09:55:16 PM »
$$$... a good chunk of $$$.

1) Get $3,000+ USD together

2) Find someone good at making banners. Create an advertisement banner that advertises a tournament with a cash prize (1st place - $1,000. 2nd place - $500. 3rd place - $250). Set a date for the tournament. 6-8 weeks after banner is posted would be a good time frame. Gives time for new players to learn a little bit, but not too long that they lose interest.
                New users only are eligible for the tournament.
                No current or prior members allowed.
                Get help from admins to ensure smurfs are not trying to weasel their way in and participate.

3) use the facebook page me and burnt set up to post the banner advertising the tournament.

4) use remaining $1000 or more to "boost" the post. make sure to target the right demographic of people you think are likely to "bite"

5) host the tournament

6) pay the cash to the winners


boosting a post for $1000 will reach a lot of people
having a tournament where they believe they have a shot at winning a small cash prize will bring them to the server


The only way war2 will ever come back is if you build it back from the ground up. invest in newbies. old players are not likely to come back ever. they will be more likely to return if they realize there is a fresh new group of people who have reached or passed their level within a year or so time frame.

If nobody is willing to invest financially into war2's future then you might as well just throw the towel in now. If nobody is willing to invest in a new generation of players and give those new players the time they need to reach "pro" status you might as well just throw the towel in now.

Any new mods or developments will be completely useless without players around to use them.

those 100k tournaments get paid out to the best of the best

this tournament would be for NEW MEMBERS ONLY. again, you would need help from admins to ensure they actually were new members.

if you posted the banner July 1 and set the tournament date for August 15-30 it would catch a lot of people's attention: "All  have to do is play this game for a month and a half or 2 months and I have a shot at winning a grand?!.. and i dont even have to pay anything to play it?"

it would easily bring a few hundred people to the server if it was all executed correctly. they would all be chasing that tournament prize for 6-8 weeks. by the time the tournament was over many of them will have became attached to the game whether they win or lose the tournament.

Listen tk, this game is 20 years old men, they give actual 2015 games for free full hd, there no way where you gonna bring peoples here before all these other games.

You want to bring this game alive, you need to do affiliation with other website who gonna do real promo for us.

I know the right site for it.

PS: You also need to change war2ru name for something else, nobody gonna join a russian website in 2015 when almost all the world hate them actually, just be realist.

That wasn't a smiley but not the point.

Yes I do agree that the admins have killed this game by their inactivity. Sure they are there when hackers need to be banned and SS disputes need to be made but we need an admin physically on the server actively.

I know we all have lives and are busy but they need divide up the time or something...why we have more than one...from current activity I only see LB.

And yes they should appoint someone who can be trusted and is active. Again, there are different levels of administration that a server can have. A new Mod "b.net icon" could be appointed.

They kill the game by their innactivity but also by their bad decision over and over and also by their selfish control over the server.

They prefere to let the game die because they are selfish instead to add peoples who will take cares of it.

Community also let this game die by supporting this staff since ten years, i have support this staff like all of you before, but enouph is enouph, it's just the same old pattern since ten years...

Just some talk to make us believe what they want and make us shut our mouth.

They cant keep nothing update, they cant get nothing attractive, they cant get nothing new regulary.

Il also make personal website and personal version for russian, this time he take for russian peoples is that time he will suppose to take for all of us, but intead he split work and time for 2 different community.

While russian have personal work, all the rest of the word is all togheter on the same community for the same time of russian one.

All this server is wrong and make no sens, there nothing serious, im sorry, but a good day your gonna hve to grow up and ask for the right thing or foget your 20 years old game.

Don't get me wrong I disagree with a lot of stuff the current administration does but we still need to work together to get this game up and running. Because let's face it, who's really gonna win if the game does end up dying?

Yes, they should appoint a new person to at least server Mod. Someone who is active and trustworthy. And who does not have bias on game types, person who works for every gamer.

Hell, I would personally recommend you as admin from your drive and enthusiasm but you have so many dam biases about everything makes it impossible and illogical.

You ask for trustworthy person when nobody in this stupid staff is trustworthy... The only one are tk and blid, rest of hacker, lazy ass and retard.

No fucking offense but that just fucking true.

Stop being fucking blind dude, wake the fuck up, they are fucking lazy and retard, they dint even know how to play dude what the fuck.

Put some peoples who love this game for real and know this game for real for the best decision.

Not only peoples who take decision only because they got the power since ten years.
