What we might have to do to get players
Tue Mar 18, 2014 7:06 pm by Sol
Well our best bet without a doubt is the last option that I don't want to resort to, which is pay for advertisements. Now I don't know if you are aware of costs on purchased advertisement; it's heavily expensive. Some adverts range from $100 to $1000 depending on which website. Now of course I'm not going to pay for that kind of fund which is really ridiculous. Why? Because it doesn't give you a …

Are we progressing?

Well I wanna start out with some statistics first. We have(at the time i posted this topic) 307 accounts total including people with multiple accounts. I can do a stats check for this later. Out of those 307 accounts, we have 256 inactive accounts. That is an 83% inactive player base leaving about 51 active accounts. We are in fact declining in votes as well assuming our player count average …

Hello boys and girls! I want to let you guys know there is a stronger chance(80%) sure that the server will be coming back. Why you may ask? Well the support from your fellow players did not give up for the past year. They kept begging and begging for the server to come back. I was surprised and felt ambiguous.
Anyway, for those who weren't aware of what was going on in the past 2 months, I …

Guys when you say you're in that means you will stay active on forums even when the server is on

Re: Vpk hasn't changed a bit
The main issue is that the server is in BETA. You expect people to be attracted to a server that has nothing up about it except our vouches. The few window hours of beta don't cut it in the P.S world if you want a community. I stick around because i love the old server, but there isn't much to talk about on the fourms until the server launches full time and there is something to do here. Until then what stops NEW people from just leaving? You arn't trying to attract new people, you are trying to please the old community. You need to release something for people to do FULL TIME. Nobody new wants to come join a server that isn't even up yet and doesn't have a release date, hopes or expectations to drive it. That is what you need.

you got this wrong, the server is not up, there's no vps, and obviously the server is not advertised on runelocus and other websites, sol is expecting to start with a little active base of like 30-40 active players, we are not talking about new players at all, the reason he put the Beta is for testing purposes since he was still coding and not for people to play but to test and make sure it has less bugs.
Also no one is attracting new people right now...that would be when the server is officially up and 24/7.
and actually there is a lot to do on the forums even if the server is offline.

I'll do my best to help out with everything I can, I don't remember my old username or I would be on it. I'll go advertise hardcore all over.

Re: Vpk hasn't changed a bit
Sol is merely trying to get a decent VETERAN base of players to start the server off again...he needs this base of players to help guide the new ones that come when its 24/7 to actually be productive and not flaming retards.

word.
a good foundation is what is needed for this server.. all the vets know this thing backwards and forward so we have to be active to help all the new players gain the familiarity with it so they can soon become the vets and take the new guys under their wing so the oldest vets can enjoy it and so on.. its a big circle of life and it has to start with a good foundation so it does not crumble with too much pressure.. patience is a virtue..

Re: Vpk hasn't changed a bit
Well, I'm back (again), I don't know for how long though, because I've lost interest in rs private servers. It always seems to be the same old thing. This was the only one I stayed on for any real amount of time.

Re: Vpk hasn't changed a bit
How do you think people will be active if the server is not even launched. Just give it time. I bet when the server will b running people will join, and will be active.

This wasn't necessary to be said.

Well some one had to say it. It wasn't said with bad purpose. We all hope for a big community. Lets just w8 and we will see. In the mean time lets just keep voting for the server =]

^Your first post shouldn't be criticizing someone about a subject in which you somehow know more then a person whose own/ran a server(s) for years....
