Would anyone else like access to War2 advertising Facebook Page?

https://www.facebook.com/War2TidesOfDarkness/

Me and burnt have used it before with quite a bit of success. It appears Tora and Smeagol have recently been using it with success as well.

It's a tool to advertise for the server, which means it costs money... The name of the game is:

1) Create an eye-catching facebook post (including Warcraft II logo helps)
2) Post it on the https://www.facebook.com/War2TidesOfDarkness/ page
3) "Boost" the post... basically spend "X" amount of dollars and facebook will more or less spam it on people's facebook page so they Click, Like, and Share it

The #1 goal when boosting a post is selecting a specific target audience so your post has the most success.

I personally targeted males on facebook between the ages 13-45. I targeted geographic locations where war2 players already exist, but believed it would be more successful in developing countries where the idea of a FREE game would be more appealing. I also targeted people who already have "liked" the Warcraft 2 facebook page already (17,000 people as of now) and other RTS games (starcraft, age of empires, command & conquer)  Now would be an amazing time to target people who have "Liked" Warcraft the movie (800,000+ people) and it will probably become an even better target the closer it gets to the movie being released to theaters  .. people are going to want to see what the movie is about and try to connect with it in any way they can


I also think it's better to spend more money on 1 good advertisement than little chunks of money on multiple advertisements.

So, if anyone wants access to https://www.facebook.com/War2TidesOfDarkness/ with the idea that they are going to create a well designed and well planned post to "boost"(advertise), don't hesitate to ask.

just understand that posting things on the page itself without boosting them has little to no effect. It's an advertising tool that will cost $$ to utilize correctly.

For Tora and Smeagol .. if you two continue to use it, I would recommend saving some money for a few weeks so you can throw one big chunk of cash at it at one time.

Me and Burnt boosted 5-6 posts in the past and each one we probably spent $100 or so on, and spaced them out over a few weeks. It had success, but only temporarily. There were not enough new players logging on to sustain themselves. The existing community and lack of administrative support basically reversed any progress we made within a month or two. Most of the new players left within a matter of days or even hours.

If people are interested in this, i'd suggest multiple people chipping in on one solid advertisement, and throwing like $400+ at an ad that runs for maybe 3-4 days (Thursday-Sunday would be prime for gaming days)  .. and then maybe one other ad for like $100 and set it up to run for 2 weeks or so immediately following the "Big" ad.

Basically get a large rush of players and target one specific weekend and another smaller ad to help build on the players who stick around for more than a day or two.

if you're not willing or able to invest more than a couple hundred dollars towards it, it's just a waste of $$ in my opinion (based on past experiences)

I did have quite a bit of success targeting Brazil. I'm not sure why that is ... but there was an obvious increase of players from brazil immediately following the boosted posts targeting that location

[Delete mine too]

I might give it a shot and see how it goes. How much is a decent adv run?

here's just an example if i boosted this particular post for $60 bucks and targeted like 8 different countries with men 13-45 who had an interest in warcraft, command and conquer, and age of impires

[tk[as]]

you can change the intersts, ages, include females, change countries... lots of stuff to increase the amount of people "reached"

[tk[as]]

you can boost for as little as $1

He has some issues he needs to work through.. being on War2/forums isn't helping

He's been banned from the forums for the last week about.  Since he can't post here maybe we can stop talking about him.

Yeah it's probably better to talk about ways we can actually better this game rather than talk about smeagol.
