No, I don't gamble.

Seriously? Come on, you must be putting that lawyer salary somewhere...it can't be all allocated to the server.

You need to spend the advertising money on real hardcore gamers if you want them to stick around, eg) on gaming sites/forum.

Well we had this discussion before...some "hardcore" gaming sites may not endorse or even allow advertising of a modified war2 client run on a private server since blizzard has not really endorsed it. [emoji54]

we already tried the facebook thing and it failed. the new players were all gone within a week, and most of the ones who downloaded the game probably only played single player. but if people like flushing money down the drain, by all means continue.

I kinda gotta side with Ryu on this one.
Cause i already sent out a bunch of emails to quite a few popular online gaming platforms.
And none of them took a bite.

war2 > war3

The bare minimum to do before advertising would be to fix it color bug with windows 8/10. with windows 10 being free, I am sure the vast majority of people now use it or 8 and nobody is going to play a game with messed up colors = instant uninstall.

I think tons of people still use Win7 but yeah it's pretty important to get the client to install cleanly in Win8/10.  I'm still sort of confused about how it looks on those OS, afaik the chat is sort of messed but the game runs okay?

Not saying you shouldn't do it, just pointing out the obvious risks. And yes this server is a money pit with low returns.

There are major issues with the chat lobby...1) no icons, 2) if you accidentally click a persons profile...your screen will be messed up...only fix I noticed was to close client which is difficult since you can't see what you type. /quit function comes in handy. 3) text overlay

Game play is ok, I haven't noticed any issues so far.

Tons of people still use 7 but that won't last forever since new PCs are shipping in 10 now. At some point, 7 will only be available as select buys in select locations to select customers. Most end users will be limited to 10. So probably best to start now in seeing how to fix the issues.

Windows 8/10 the color bug makes the lobby pretty much unfunctional.

Did you check your Gfx panel about that? It's a laptop correct? What Gfx card do you have in it.
