A Call to all Players!

Post by Juniper Onyx »

I have always thought Illarion needed more players. More players mean more activity and RP. More activity means more fun! I have decided to invest a little money (about $20) each month toward doing what I can locally to get more players to at least 'try' Illarion.

I propose everyone try 'something' to get the word out about this wonderful game, but be sure to get approval for it first somehow! We don't want the Staff to get in trouble, so keep it clean!

As for me, I'm not much good with 'online' advertising, but I will run an ad in a local newspaper, make some bumperstickers and even make some T-Shirts and hats later.

I have included a few ideas here and I would like the community to vote on one. I will order 25 of them at first. Anyone who wants one, just send me a PM with a 'Mailing Address', and I'll send you as many as you like for free! Just use them, OK?

Any Staff: If any of these ideas are bad, or offensive - You get to VETO it by just posting here before the Poll ends. We don't want legal problems!

After the Poll the one with the most Votes is what I'll order first. Next month, I'll either order more or post some new ideas. Poll ends in one week from today!

Thanks!

I honestly think that we need to advertise on Text-RPG boards. Those types of people would eat up Illarion =P Its a good idea, but I dont think the general public would be interested in the game (Perhaps Comic Book Stores would be a good advertising area?)

I giggled at #1 =)

They're mostly funny and comical, but keep in mind we would want to attract ROLEPLAYERS, not RPGers.

So, yeah. 7.

so we want to attack roleplayers and not roleplaying gamers?
..right.
Edit: Scratch that.. I see what you mean.
5, 7, 8.
8 would be a great hat advertisement.
5 would make a good t-shirt.
Dunno about 7.
And 2 would make a good sign on a telephone pole.

Yes of couse, there must be a way to find people with fantasy,
there is a chance that Illarion would be destroyed and became a
Levelscoring,..noobtalking game like other games on the net.
Hushed wrote:(Perhaps Comic Book Stores would be a good advertising area?)
Shops where Dsa stuff is sailed. :wink:
But not for the whole public.

I know that this game wants that everybody
on the whole planet can play, but its dangerous
when hundrets of new people,
who never played a RPG,
log in.

Great input guys, I really appreciate it.

So far seven is winning.

If anyone is willing to Translate, I could order some in German too.

I'll keep this thread open till Sunday so everyone has a chance to vote.

Thanks!
