This page is linked to from Hattricks "down page" (visible when they have maintenance or problems) and it usually get 10k hits per hour when that happens. Lets hope that Hattrick crashes. :lol:

I could write on and on about my characters or past character's lives, and sometimes I do, if I write history note for my character, which I've done for four of mine. Although, in one case, doing so got my character killed.

I have a banner suggestion, though it's not very suggestive.

:idea:

I am considering making a YouTube video for Cantr. I have my own channel and have made game play videos before. This would obviously be much different and it would probably start with maybe a introductory video with straight screen shots, quick overview of dynamics/mechanics, rp, and CR. I don't have very many subscribers or anything, but at least there would be a video out there for people that might be considering playing. Depending on how well it comes out/how much I enjoy making it, I might make more that go more in depth on certain subjects.

I would appreciate any feedback/ideas for this video, it will probably be a couple weeks before I even start making it.


That is all... I think.

Great idea!

And ideas for your video? Hm, I think it shouldn't be too long and the main messages should be short and concise, but I guess that's some very general advice for advertisement. :wink:
I don't know much about video making - I just know that any promotion video will be better than no promotion video, because there is just too little promotion going on for Cantr.
And in any case, I will do my best to spread your video as soon as it's finished. :D

Your video would be very welcome SGRe.

Suggestions:

Epic music?
Epic slogans.
User-provided artwork perhaps?

People..., Cantr need us!

We are in a season in which we all must give our small part of time to bring new players. The more variety, more fun for everyone.

If we all vote on links that are in our player page, we'll make that Cantr appears at the top of several lists as one of most popular online games. This will enable many potential players to see our ad and decide to join to the Green World.

So, come on! Please, don't be lazy and vote!

More not-English voting links would be great in my opinion. At least three for each language that's available for Cantr. I think the English market is oversaturated and small efforts would have greater effects on less saturated markets. And I think there are many players with another first language than English who are playing English characters, so imo the English character number would benefit from it, too.

I agree totally. However, if we get more English voting links, we're still going to put them up.

We are working to make that possible. Several Marketing Specialist and LOs have joined to the staff and gradually, we will try to promote the game in each language group.

If anyone has a site or find a site to promote the game, here are some banners and images you can use to link to Cantr.

With the advancement of technology nowadays, sharing can be as simple as clicking a link and transport it to a place where there are unlimited possibilities with letting people see.


The best way in my opinion is to expose it to people especially those on social networking sites as they sure will take an active part in here as well. It really is easy as pasting a simple link.

what would be the best way to share on fb? a little share-able ad enticing people to come play might gain a few players
