What Would It Take?

(1/4) > >>

The Lost Children:
What would it take to take this game from "Client of Grievances" to a sprawling MMO with grand support and a grand community?

What needs changing?

-Developer priorities?
-GM attitude/ game disruption?
-Communal efforts?
-PROPER ADVERTISEMENT?


What do you guys think this game needs to take it to the level of a game that is worth playing for more than x months?

I personally think the game needs to be advertised anywhere and everywhere, I think we as a community should band together and advertise the positives of the game, and bring in new and willing players. Take them by the hand and show them the ups and downs of the game and hopefully in a few months after such an effort, we'd have a brand new generation of community who could hopefully offer different views and opinions on a "dying" game (AS EVERYONE SAYS).

Donations are part of advertising. You get a community BEFORE you get funding. That's the point. If devs want money, perhaps they should dispatch some kind of community event where everyone can show their efforts in advertising the game. It's not hard to write up a detailed thread and offer friendly assistance with installing/running/playing/learning the game.

It just needs to be done by the community that is ALREADY here.

I think you're right. Except that the game is still unfinished so all the devs probably need right now are the testers. After the product is finished and stable there will be time for advertising and growing community

But let's be honest, for legal reasons the game will ALWAYS be in OPEN beta test.

For the sake of the "game", or "beta" that we love, should we not spread the love... not only to help give longevity to the game, but to make testing faster, to make the game world bigger, etc etc?

The game will NEVER be finished legally. So there's no reason to not spread the word.

I've done my fair share of advertising for this game in the best possible ways I could think of that were not too time consuming or spamalicious. But I think if everyone took like 20-30 minutes to write up a nice thread and post it on all community forums they're a part of, we would be neck deep in new players.

Imagine the dynamics of small-time gameplay with a slew of 20-50 new players?  The players who are NOT part of those majorly OP factions, it would add great new dynamics.
