New initiative - help needed.

Hey, This thread might be inapropriate to the Alliance discussions, but since i wanted it to be addressed to the Alliances and not the community as a whole, ill stick it up for now.

I will let the mods to decide if this belongs to here or not.

Anyway, A few weeks ago, Some PA players or administrators has registered a channel on Quakenet, Then i wandered into this channel where there was only this guy, L and myself.

And i pondered why Planetarion never had a channel on major networks? that would be a very nice way to advertise and bring fresh players to this game/community.
The idea would be to bring HC/officers/Admins/Players and whoever is part of this game to #planetarion on Quakenet, and when new players would join, then we have the whole set of people to support them, show them who is the community.

That would also allow the HC and officers to recruits the new players into their alliances and teach them the game.
That would also allow the Support guys and administrators to give official support to players if needed.

We need to think out of the box (the box being our own networks) and start recruiting the world, and not sitting there and whining about the decrease of our player base.

What i would like is as much as players from Netgamers who wander around Qnet to join us on #planetarion (on Quakenet) and talk there, attract new players by advertising it among your friends and your clans on Qnet (DO NOT SPAM IT PLEASE).

This isnt meant to be a subtitute to Netgamers but just some way of advertising, that might actually help more than simple banners.

Banners dont talk, and what is better marketing for this game if not the playersbase itself?

Join us, help us.

Thanks.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

Please spread it among your private forums, channel topics, on Qnet on Netgamers, on any network you know, speak to your friends. Make it spread like a virus

Thanks.

Oh, and btw suggestion are always welcomed.
Some people said this wont last, lets prove them wrong.

Thanks

Re: New initiative - help needed.

I'm supporting that aswell.

There are shitloads of CS player with plenty of time to play PA.
We seriously need more players and alliances anyway. The fun drops round by round by the lack of players and serious alliances. The only problem are the costs for PA prolly as all CS Clan player have to pay for their clan-server aswell..

But seriously nice initiative alch

Re: New initiative - help needed.

maybe it would help giving ppl the server adress: irc.quakenet.org
it took me 3-4 tries before i got it right, since i had never used this server before.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

Before the planetarion irc network I'm pretty sure the main irc channel actually was #planetarion on quakenet.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

Next move will be to advertise about the channel and about the game on your gaming community site. I know FAnG gaming community has hundreds of players, and most of the visitors and players are Qnet based, hopefully this will bring some of their attentions.

I Expect you to do this aswell.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

Planetarion always had a large presence on Quakenet and EFNet (?) in the early days, I don't think PANET (Netgamers) emerged until Round 2/3 ? Most of the early player base came from the existing gaming communities and for many of the European players Quakenet was home, at one point #planetarion was the most popular channel on the network (Along with #planet). From what I remember both channels remained popular even after Planetarion got it’s own IRC network but they eventually dwindled after the game became Pay to Play in Round 5 and everyone quit.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

I idle alone on the #planetarion on irc.freenode.net. I had that idea sometime ago whe we were discussing advertisin PA.
This network is used mainly and mostly by coders, they have tons of channels codin-subject there. The network have many users, with channels who reach easily 500+ more
I noticed PA is quite popular among coders and people related, so i guessed would be interesting to find a way to advertize the game to that users, but not being myself a coder i cant find a way to intergrate properly to the community

If anyones is regular user there and want to help idle/advertize ( mentioning the game on informal chats, etc ) feel free to join in

Re: New initiative - help needed.

Excellent idea alch. The only way this won't work is if people don't give it a chance and join in. The more people that work together, stick with it and go to different servers, the more successful we'll be.

Re: New initiative - help needed.

well

20 people on Quakenet wont wake anyone to come around and find out what game we are talking about! I feel like we should seriously bug the PA Team to think about some REAL ideas to get fresh blood to the community!Less Alliances and less Players is less fun, and the amount of players will drop round by round.

Is there anything we can do about the prize? There are just too many FREE clones out there to get ppl to play PA...for them its just a waste of money! Aslong as the oldschool PA ppl retire and come back after 1-2 rnds break it might work still...but there will be a time...
