Nothing is stopping players from taking the advertising upon themselves.

I don't know about you but I'd be put off if the company running the game couldn't be assed to come up with their own advertisement or atleast provide something to advertise.

Perhaps, but you're not really their demographic either. A few viral videos pushed into recognition by the community would be pretty effective.

How do you propose that one makes a "viral video" and in what way do you think community recognition would effect anything? You're not targeting the current community in advertising. If you believe that the current community would be the ones who produce and spread such videos in a viral marketing effect, you're very naive to this community and the outside market as viral marketing with the current players on Graal has not worked for years and will never work unless there's a reason to do so. This reason should not be provided by the community, because the community is not the ones who are making money out of this. If the administration are not going to place a little effort in to gain their bucks, then why the hell should anyone else?

I'm not sure I can agree - their key demographic, based on my personal research, is younger than he is. With that in mind I don't think they would be as easily influenced by something as abstract as he's suggesting.

Most user-generated mediums on the internet rely on user-activity to drive the popularity of the content. We use our users to drive the user-activity on our videos. This may be enough to increase their popularity so that people, outside of our community, take more notice to them.

The interested parties should get together and discuss some topics, not individuals (imo).

I don't get them.

They are loosing players, no doubt about it.
We are warning them, they will lose more and more.
But they don't seem like they want to do anything to increase it.
We (players) are not the ones who should go and advertise GraalOnline, it's Stefan and his team!

and what are they doing? Making Graal availible for iPhones. LMAO!

You misunderstood me, I meant as a Graal player/developer who would be involved with creating such advertisement.

I think developers should work together instead of apart so that creation of new projects are easy as hell and people log on here and go, "Son of a *****, this community is awesome, look at all this content," and sign up.

I don't really think so, from what I see their numbers are floating relatively even... so if they are losing members new ones are immediately filling their position.

Yea, they should be -- but they're not. Players could advertise very effectively if they make an effort to maintain their focus within groups like Youtube and such.

You don't understand. Linux Cyberjoureurs are trying to get the interest of larger parties - gaming companies - so they can either license the Graal Online engine to them or outright sell it.

Also, while it may not occur to you, the iPhone is a pretty decent medium to put Graal Online into. It will likely do advertising on it's own -- if people actually play it (which I doubt).

That's true, but you're also not moaning about it like everyone else - as though they're helplessly at the mercy of Linux Cyberjoureurs. It's really not that hard to hold an effective advertising campaign, even one which would appear professional. Utilities like Google Adwords makes the life of an advertiser much easier.

Players should not advertise for graal but for their own playerworld (referring to Manager)
Zodiac should have a Marketing team that advertises for Zodiac throughout the internet on Forums or something, for free that is, to get more players...advertising is so easy if you know how to..lol
