Maybe I'm stupid...
« on: June 05, 2016, 12:28:26 AM »
Okay don't respond to the subject title, it's a rhetorical statement, but...

What if anyone that has connections to any local papers or online news outlets and got a post/article out there about Warcraft 2 RU. Is this possible? Could someone do it? Might bring some attention to the game and a ton of new installs!
I love this game!

Read previous threads mate


I've tried this all before,  The admin do not want to grow that's the problem they have it stuck in their head that this server should remain the same size and not have any new people in it.

They got offered 10,000+ players just over a year ago and they were not interested

the admins have no impact on the game one way or another. The server infrastructure and staff are good to go. All we need is exposure.

I'll also release more detailed and better youtube guides if the server does get some advertising going on.

I suggest paying a famous youtuber for such an advert.

idk,this is doing good compared to other games around its time.

went to play zdaemon the other day and pretty much empty.

it already has the best exposure...top pick of search engines.

51 users online | 8 games being played  this is not bad at all.

This is a poor mentality and not visionary at all. It's a blizzard game ffs. There are more people on Diablo 1. It needs exposure. I hate to admit it, but Yamon has a great idea. Get a youtuber or twitch guy that has thousands/millions of followers, get him to play the game and uptick it. Could even pay him for his time instead of giving top ladder guys money for a couple months/withhold a tournament or two.

Brilliant idea Yamon. Anyone know one at least?
I love this game!

Read my
Posts from a year ago
It was aiming for 10,000 users . I'm not getting in the same conversations that we do every 3 months then just get the admin to knock them all down

Put me as admin I'll do a better job thAn all the admin put together

I'll do more in 10 minutes then they have done in years . ( making a program that beeps when a game finishes isn't progress it's complicating the game and making it even less attractive/user friendly to the new users)

oh come on, it's obviously not a solution for growing the server but it certainly isn't hurting anything! That's just gratutious criticism!
squeak!

Here is our savior right here:

! No longer available
13m subscribers! 1m of which were accrued in the last month apparently. We just need a plan to get his attention, any thoughts?! I've heard that people are much more receptive to helping when you contact them with something to offer instead of just begging for handouts - then it's reciprocity as opposed to charity. So, what's our gameplan?!
squeak!
