Advertising a call to the community
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 6:11 pm
I know there are couple of threads about how we all heard about the game and such. But I am making a call to all the players for this time around to help advertise. The best form of advertisement is that of word of mouth. If we want this game to last longer then the previous 2 attempts we need to as a community pull together and help advertise the site and game. Just because Neverax and Gamecrap never did a great job or even attempted to advertise doesn't mean we are not at fault as well.
I look at this community and find one of the only MMO's that people are willing to help and regardless of faction or alliance at some point we all play together for fun.
Now my call to action for all of you is to come up with way to advertise this game when it comes back. By all of us working to advertise the game it will do much more then any budget that the owners could even think about. If we want Ryzom to stay this time it is up to us as well! As stated before simply raising the sub fee isn't going to help with the lost members. We also need to show that the game is awesome since it has had rough media attention for the last 2 liquidations.
Some ideas...
Write a blog, add a link to a link database for game sites you frequent, write a review for a site. These are just some ideas.
Here is a link from Acridiel that has lots of good information. --- thx
***Please don't spam sites the last thing we want is for people to think that the community is full of spammers!***
