Interested in this because I'd like to know which channels to use when we want to expand the playerbase again.

By "again," I hope you mean "now"  ;D

I chose "word of mouth" to define my brother dragging me to the computer and standing over me whilst I made my first two characters.  The only one he really cared about was the character I was starting on the War Island (Go Taselak!)

Incidentally, my brother came to the game through a friend of his, and I brought my daughter along a bit later. 

Friends don't let friends not try the game!

I can barely remember when I first started playing BM. I wasn't very fluent in English and randomly joined this game. Played for a couple months then stopped b/c I did not understand anything people were telling me lol. After 2 years I came back to play and I actually enjoyed it :) but got into another game. Now I am back. :) What a great game.

Yep, though obviously we have many priorities, so "again" meaning another time when we devote lots of effort and time into attracting new players.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

I saw your sig on Slashdot.

The lure of something in beta with loads of new features was extremely compelling :-)

My friend kept talking about this game he was playing with knights and lords and realms and politics, and made me try it out. ;)

Early in my first month in college I decided to search for "Free Online Multiplayer Games". I got to some site I don't remember anymore save that it had some blue on the side and a picture of a troll or something.

I was playing Legend Arena and a member of my clan posted a topic on a forum about a new game he'd been playing which he thought was 'worth checking out'. That was about six years ago now. Never went back to Legend Arena :P

That's a very long time ago, but I must have been looking for unique multiplayer browser games via Google and somehow ended up at the best game there is ;)

You could also perhaps ask new players how they found Battlemaster at the sign-up?

I can hardly remember, but I believe it started with a google search and ended with a good description on a gaming website...

My own "enlightenment" came about by reading a book from the library about how to use comps, (due to buying one on a whim without ever using one before) as there was a list of browser based games in a chapter on learning to use the web, and hey presto this was the one I luckily chose to try first  ;D
