Baby Boom?

We've gotten a rash of new registrations, and they seem active.

Cool.

We got a plug on the forums of Dwarf Fortress, which have a pretty active following.

Let's hope they can spread the word further, too :)

Yeah, each realm I play in has had a new player join in the last few days. They're not all joining the same realm from what I can tell.

A Battlemaster plug from Dwarf Fortress, two of my favourite games! Let's keep an eye on that DF topic to see the problems of new players. It seems a few are already doing just that though.

Me too, I've been seeing lots of new folks too. That's what made me curious. I was worried for a second that the realms I'm in might have something suspect, but then seeing the bigger bump just made be excited for a rise in players.

We also may likely get a few players from one of the new forum games Perth set up, as it has drawn players over from another forum to play a game here in this forum. They've been encouraged to check out BM and that may likely work out.

Was about to say the same thing.

If we can get a good plug on the Paradozx forums as well it could lead to a lot of new players, I think. The guys over there a pretty big into historically set games (hence, Paradox games) and a lot are big time Role Players as well. I could see some good things coming from that.

That's interesting. How are they all joining the WiR game then? They had to have given a link somewhere.

They can put a link to an IRC channel, and communicate from there.

that is great, now i feel the urge to join Summerdale as well.

Those player would need good mentors, IC and OCC so we can retain them, hmm... we have to go and check the manuals on wiki to see if everything is fine and up to date.




Peace!

Can they just say "Hey, a cool game I've been playing is called Battlemaster (just google it)."
