Does anyone have any real good guess as to how much it would cost to advertise our server? or where would be good places to advertise?
Obviously the ideal place would be somewhere that has a lot of traffic from gamers, that would charge the least... im just not quite sure where that would be.

Battle.net official forum
Youtube gaming channels

ICCUP lol

We get lots of new players on the server, the problem is keeping them there. I would say the retention rate has to be like 0.1%.
-
i did the advertising on popular youtube gaming channels ... i personally talked to a handful of people who saw the advertisement and came to the server to play... but you're right ganz, it was only a matter of days before they left
so i think the key would be mass advertising for a few days (multiple members of the community pitch in) and simultaneously getting active members to participate in a "host games where newbies are welcome" week or something ...
-
keep them around long enough to get them engaged in the community
it sure would be nice if we could fix the hosting issue all together though.
-
Well i have been advertising on different gaming servers but ill try some new gen game forums.

the only type of people who would consider this 17 year old game are minecraft players
they seem to like outdated graphics
advertising anywhere else is futile
but minecrafters are 10year olds so..... :P
advertising is futile
-
Getting people to come is one thing, getting them to stay is a whole different ballgame.
-
This is how they get new admin on that game, they want donation.
Never your gonna have a piece of my money.
You better find a real job bunch of poor.
Donation for everything.
It cost 500$, are you all poor LOL

Yes, a very good question!
I think we should advertise war2 in social networks. It's our future or at least the present time.
I still didn't think about payments for advertisement, let's think about that...
But i'm sure we need to make some working solution before advertise. I mean win-7-8 problems, hosting problem, SS and several more technical problems, that makes war2 difficult for new players.
-
It would be better to spend money on fixing problems, then advertise when the game is ready.

ALL IN FOR VIRUZ

Thanks to iL's suggestion .... I think I just found the solution.

We need to contact BuRnT immediately.
1) Tell him to log into his server.war2.ru facebook page (or give me the password to the server.war2.ru facebook account)
2) Go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/Warcraft-2/108198202547978 (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Warcraft-2/108198202547978)
3) click on " 29,025 people like this topic" and see every single person that liked it
4) start friend requesting all 30,000 of them under the server.war2.ru facebook account
even if only 1% get on the server... we got 300 new players who have already played the game before.
-
After a week there will be like 5 of the 300 left on the server.

Agree.
5) to let BuRnT invite us to this group (yes, i have a facebook account also) and give us some privileges to admin it.
Then we could make some announcements as i understand and people will see that in their news.
6) to add button "login using facebook" to our forum. And also a facebook button "i like this" on forum. And also a block "our group in facebook" on server.war2.ru or forum.
But i'd prefer to make our stuff working before inviting newbies:
1. to upgrade bnet to lastest stable version and apply most planned features
2. to update combat to make it fully compatible with win7-8-10, with no palette, UAC or SS problems.
3. to release some kind of antihack + portforwarding software.
Then we will be 100% ready to invite new players and be sure they will not leave.

Oh! I hope he is not the only one admin there... It that possible to ask facebook admins to unban him? How do they work?
Anyway, need to ask Burnt...
-
i dont know, the new person in charge closed the official chopchop group without asking for anyone's permission, so its gotta be some random fag

you're saying burnt is not in charge of the war2 facebook group any more? ----> https://www.facebook.com/groups/war2server/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/war2server/)
the person who accepted my invite to the group (just an hour or so ago) was someone named Chris Peterson https://www.facebook.com/garrensilverwing?fref=pb_other (https://www.facebook.com/garrensilverwing?fref=pb_other)

burnt's facebook account was banned for spamming, therefore he was gone from all the groups and the admin powers were distributed to some randoms apparently xd
-
omfgz ... fine. ill make a new group.
-

This is why my facebook group got deleted. I have already been attempting this, and some people decide to report you for not knowing you. It sucks. Also if you want to send them just a regular message to show up in their inbox, it will go to a different box that most people won't notice.
-
The guy who is admin now will give it back to me, I just lost contact with it when Occult Forums went down. It's Frostbitten, you guys all know him the poker guy. He use to be a server.war2.ru admin for awhile too, Idk if he still is. Just waiting for him to put me back again
-
oh right on well that fucking sucks. there are 30 fking thousand people who "like" war2. how the hell do we contact them?!
-
Yeah I still think it should be attempted though, adding 1-2 a day. I think a account would survive that way.

Yet you offered someone $1000 to host a server for you, which you never proceeded to go through with since you're full of shit as always.

That's definitely Frostbitten. I have his Skype if you need me to contact him, he's usually always online though we never talk.

More importantly than all those issues is to get the client unflagged as potentially risk on chrome.
Can you email and do a follow up, i mean, i could do it but it just feels the one hosting the alleged "risk software" to file a complaint...:.

Hi, Frostbitten, nice to see you here!
Let's advertise these facebook groups together with server.war2.ru project and combat also.
Who are facebook groups admins now? You and Burnt, right? Need to be at least 2 alive and trusted admins for each group, just to be sure we will not loss them, i think so.
