I wish it were that easy James. I have experimented with so many different forms of advertising in the past 3 years I have lost count. Some ads are successful, some aren't. I have only seen a few that have had new players pouring in and those are usually very expensive. Most others result in a slow trickle. Just too many games to compete with. Not to say the advertising isn't helping, it is. I am happy with seeing t-mode everyday and watching the trickle of new players coming in. Progress is slow, but it is still progress. I am seeing new players every week. Not trying to step on anyone's toes here, but I still care about Netrek, I am still crazy and don't plan on giving up on trying to draw in new players anytime soon. Based on all the activity I have seen on #netrek and in the development community I believe there are a lot of people out there that feel this way. -Joe >From: "James Turner-Crowe" <sgtjiminy at hotmail.com> >Reply-To: Netrek Development Mailing List <netrek-dev at us.netrek.org> >To: netrek-dev at us.netrek.org >Subject: Re: [netrek-dev] Blessed binaries release procedure (CF without >SF) >Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 19:37:55 +0000 > >all you need to do is advertise and gamers and star-trek fans will be >pouring in :) _________________________________________________________________ 5.5%* 30 year fixed mortgage rate.
