Current Servers: Ymir-RO View InventorySend Money to Tigress

I was pondering over how I can contribute to a server's pop growth as a player....
What I've done so far is voting for the server and writing reviews...
any better, more effective ideas?
I'm playing on Ymir-RO, and although the server is a really professionally set up server, and well maintained, but the pop is growing too slowly. I can't understand how other servers can get 500+ players?? How do you get the flow of people into the server?

It's just not fair, is it?

1) Put a banner that advertises your server in your signature
2) Get active here on RMS forums and stay active forever
3) Start suggesting your server in the "Server Seeking" area (Make sure you suggest properly)
That's one idea. Also it normally depends what sort of time on the year it is. The best time to open or advertise a server is usually in the summer... Which is here!

As for Ymir-Ro, you would have to erase the past  As a player, you cannot really do all that much, it's all in Ymir's hands. Most servers with such high player numbers have either been around for a very long while, or had excellent server starts and little to no screwups since. |

Players will usually have a hissy fit and leave with major changes such as wipes, major downtime, etc...

Go where no server owner has gone to before.
Simply set up your SIG and mention the server casually in any and all places where you have an online presence. Most people agree the RO scene is getting old and new players are hard to come by, which is why it might be best if you have online buddies (ie: online social circles) where you can find fresh blood who'd like trying out a new "free" game.

Anime forums would probably be the best place to start such a marketing campaign.

very good suggestions guys.  Past of Ymir-RO is really the past now. I'm thinking of how to find new players. I myself was very cautious when Ymir-RO re-opened, but ever since the reopen, it has been up and running EVERYDAY, nearly glitch free. I personally felt it has turned a new leaf, and is now an excellent server.... BUT!! BUT!! where are the players? so,... anyway,.. yeah. i'll probably have to make a Ymir-RO sig for all and any forum i participate in. |

I personally don't bother with any signatures at all (unless its a hot naked babe).  |
