Facebook advertising is our best bet IMO. Its just gonna take more than a couple hundred dollars.. setting up an eye catching, well put together, professional looking post/ad will go a long way as well.I got the funds,
Ganz had a good idea. Why not contact the bigger pvpgn servers and see if we can banner or link exchange.ill give it a try why not.
Ganz you are right that new players tend to lose tournaments. You are wrong though that cash tournaments won't attract new players just because they suck. Tora has also expressed interest in possibly having lower level / new player tournaments. A lot of people just like to play in a normal tournament or especially a cash tournament just for the fun of it or because it is cash. Cash tournaments also give new players the incentive to get good or aspire to so they can then maybe win the cash. Since late 2014 when I first started having PBall tournaments the PBall community has gained new players and the old players started to play a lot more because of the activity. My past tournaments I'm talking about weren't even cash tournaments and the PBall community got a lot more active because of them. I think GOW tournaments will help the same way it'll give new players an incentive to get good and get some existing players on more often. Tora as far as the ads it's up to you, maybe do some experimenting and see the results before making a bigger investment, or invest with several people maybe, up to you though.
I believe if theres at least some newbies and the compstomp game hosted, they'll enjoy it here.That actually is a pretty big turn off for new players,
worst thing they could experice is the empty 'join' list followed by 'youre not able to host' followed by an insta ban from some public gow game
Me and Burnt had a lot of success with our Facebook advertisements. We probably threw 400-500 dollars at it all together and probably saw 200 new users over the course of our advertisements.I do gotta agree with a lot of what you said.
The problem isn't getting new users. The problem is keeping them. The community basically tells them "Get the fuck out of here we don't want you" The first hour they log on the server. They are ignored, banned, with absolutely zero assistance and no admins logged on to even ask for assistance from.
Would you spend any time or money in a home depot or wal mart (Assuming it was your first time ever) if you walked in and there was absolutely no customer service or cashiers to help you check out?
Welcome to server.war2.ru.
I'm not trying to be a dickhead here ToRa.. but you're wasting your money advertising for the server. Even if there are active admins, The rest of the community is going to eat new users up and shit them out within a couple hours.
