Can someone make a few more different banners/posters and gimme the code for it as i wanna slam a few on Myspace and send to a few mates.
Also i had a brainstorm when i was walking through Cardiff the other week (Was going to watch rugby).
There is a shop/store called Games workshop in the UK which is for all your D&D needs and board sets, i saw a few stick up bits of paper in the window acting as a notice board and realized it was buy/selling stuff which is when i had the idea.
If someone was to make flyers then maybe with a bit of persuasion your local RP shop/store would let you advertise and maybe even help give out leaflets when someone buys something. Free promotion to the to people who love true RP
Yes i could but if i can get them to put a banner on their profile then friends of friends will see it and so on.
Yes it is warhammer but also is that not the crowd you are going for? If you get even 10 people out of Games workshop, they tell 5 of their friends and soon we will have an army
Thanks, but is anyone able to make a leaflet? I can print it out and cut/fold it to size and have a try see if they will let me put it in the window or leave 100 copies on the till point so people will pick it up when they pass
Search for sites that deal with (free) online roleplaying games, MMORPGs and free (linux) games in general and accept submissions of reports/descriptions. Add those sites to the first list.
Check the sites of the first list and search for Illarion, comparing what you find with the current state
Move checked sites to the 3rd or 4th list
Update the information on the sites of the 3rd list by sending the admin an update of the informations or, if you need a login, ask me for help. Do not act like an official representive of Illarion, though.
Submit reviews to the dynamic sites. Pay attention to your spelling and stay true; do not write advertisements but a critical review with "pro" and "contra"
If there are any concrete problems, ask me for help.
Alright it was just an idea, but if i find any sites without Illarion is it okay if i make a new page and copy and paste the text from the others and put a few screenies up?
What if i made an Illarion video? Put a few RP'ers in there of different races so they dont notice the lack of paper dolling and maybe a fight scene or 2

Show off the most interesting looking stuff the game has, rather than "First I click on the hammer...". Someone go invisible, walk through the most interesting looking forest closings and dungeons, oasis, and stuff like this, then speed up the footage a lot and put this on. Noone wants to watch footage of someone saying "Oh hello my lord" "Ah, hello, I am off to shift click on a fishing rod". Something that looks like a ritual as well with someone as a demon being summoned in the middle and a group of mages in hoods (once paperdolling comes out) standing around it with flames all around them of different colours and things. It's dark and lightning crashes down. Someone 1 hit killing a rabbit with a kel ra will not interest anyone.
Just because it is roleplay based doesn't mean you can't show off the potential of the engine and an epic quest.
That's why you show a quest. What games do you know where players do a ritual? Admittedly, yes, in illarion you don't get rp like that 99% of the time, and it's more like a medieval instant messenger, but, again, there's no problem pretending it's epic when it has the potential to be with the right playerbase.
Hence why i'm going out to annoy demon skeleton mages, yeah i'll get my ass kicked big time but it looks cool
And then i'm doing the whole "Stalking a deer with a bow" scene *Cue epic music*
Them perhaps a bit of light sparring but if you guys can capture the essence better then go for it, theres no harm in making too many videos just so we can cut bits out of it but i'm trying to capture the whole range of crafting things first.
