We have a small, yet devoted group that plays a fun game, but it's time to expand, and get our name out there to some fresh meat
Ok. I've got a few ideas for ways to do this. Not terribly expensive ones either. No super-bowl ads.
So...
1. Make a new server. One with a good tutorial. Announce it long before it is released to build suspense higher. (see hyperspeed server thread... viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8752)
2. Maybe just some small newspaper ads. They don't cost much.
3. Better yet, find a few similar games out there (I don't mean like low-game. I mean games with the same # of people, that are looking to expand their numbers. NOT other space browser strategy games). Make some friends. Offer a trade of banner ads to the devs of the other games. It's a win-win. Both games get more publicity. This is really a great way to go about this if you think about it. Do this with several sites, and we get more players. I don't mind a small ad at all. In fact, I am very open to playing other games, and am always looking for a new challenge. It really wouldn't be a problem for me. Note: NOT a video that pops up every minute, and forces you to watch it before you can play. These are way too invasive. I'm talking about the one that sub-11-ruby players already have. Like one that size. The kind that doesn't follow your mouse around. Ok. You get the idea.
Feel free to post your own.
And apparently our biggest goal this year is to expand the playerbase (I heard that somewhere) This would be some good ideas to do so.
