bottom line the bigger the player base the better off fonline will be, more people willing to help, donate, ect... dosen't matter if it's in beta or not. More people will only help stress test and balance the game!

Actually we'd do perfectly fine with the current ammount if everyone of the around 200 people would donate and report.

When quality of game has lowered level, players trying to improve it getting more players by advertising it.
all is gone, you just gotta realize only reason why you playing here anymore is friends you maded, and playing with them.
Yes evryone remembers when there was 3x more players here and after each update they got away. and so is attitude overral gone wrong.
All you remember was "golden ages" its just one way for this, and nothing can save this game from total destruction in few years. from nice indie game to total piece of crap, Its game over Man!

Derp, you all need a reality check.

We're living in the age of iPlayboxtendo 364 DS Slim. When you tell the casual, average Joe that you play video/computer games, they will most likely think of something like "Gears of Halo" or "Call of Warcraft" or "Duty Fortress 2". These games have on-screen tutorials and some are shipped with audio-visual tutorials on how to play the game, they're even telling people "Durr hurr press up to go forward", meaning that there may be some people who have such problems.

The likelyhood that nowadays we will persuade the public mass to play FOnline, a game with graphics made for the hardware available 15 years ago, and graphic interface and controls not being shouted into the knobhead's ears, is less than slim.

It is saddening of course that nowadays graphics is the pressing issue in games, but it is a good thing to keep up with the news.

So, a good way to advertise this game is to reach out to communities that are not picky about graphics or complexity of controls.

True, but I also been seeing some kids that don't mind lower graphics and actually like the *gameplay* so if in a group of people you get 1 more player to this game, still good.

We always had around 200 to 300 players and never 600 to 900.

[Crazy]

We always had around 200 to 300 players and never 600 to 900.

But we already got 500 to 600!

[Lexx]

Only for a very short time period. It was pretty clear that the numbers can't be hold.

[Wichura]

Some of them were gathering bots, true, but still 200 is 2x less than 400. And 400 is not the amount "for a very short time period". Pity.

Oh, sorry for "this bullshit again".

I myself am leery of public advertising with flyers in regards to this game.  Fallout is intellectual property of what's-their-faces, and advertisement through posters in public places... uh, territory going that I would rather make sure would not get yourself, or us, in shit for.  Might be nothing, but eh...

Nice motivation, but when you are using someone elses property, it should at least be considered, as it always should be when pondering such.

[Badger]

I'm also wary of the success of such a campaign.

First, you post a flyer in a public place.

How many people that see it are going to be Fallout fans?
How many are going to be fans of the first two games?
How many are interested enough to play a fanmade MMO based on those games?
How many, if they try it, will actually want to stick around?

We need Testers, m`kay?

Holy Shit! Izual! Surf! Solar! You guys told me there is noone needed! 

[Lexx]

If you play this game, you are a tester.

The open beta is nothing else than a mass test.

[KILL N DIE]

If you play this game, you are a tester.

The open beta is nothing else than a mass test.

So it seems to be open beta for ever...

[Lexx]

And you come to that conclusion because the game is playable since some time?

[Xarr]

If you play this game, you are a tester.

The open beta is nothing else than a mass test.

i mean more inside the game itself
