These two are your bread a butter sites, 70% of all Mudders use these or have at one point and time. I know Top Mud's had two of our players who posted a recruitment. But the more of us that post on a topic created the more people will be inclined to test it out, think of it as a product your wanting to buy from Newegg, you always check the reviews no matter how good the specs.Gub wrote:Here's a forum dedicated to MUD advertisement, maybe you could coordinate a day across multiple sites.

EDIT: Adding more sites
I am more then willing to get at least that started but support from the players themselves, testimonials etc, is what is going to be the deal breaker on whether we sink or swim.
Also perhaps getting someone to create a banner for Top Mud would be a good way to spend a bit of the cash for the promotion? I see a few Muds that have created little banners that go across the top for advertisement may be a good place to start.
I think people just need a real incentive, I would be willing out of my own pocket to do this event.Cherek wrote:I made the list and was hoping the community could add more ideas. To begin with. My first idea was to make an event of it, and reward players with in game stuff for promotional work. The voting clearly shows thats probably not much use since only 2 people besides me seem to be interested in that, which is also what Gorboth thought, I guess he was right. Uh, not that I doubted of course..
If the community can get together and get Genesis on the top 10 of TopMud's for one month I would do a raffle for a random person to win $50 US. An second 50$ raffle if we can reach the #3 or higher spot. Whether it succeeds in getting an influx of players or not.
Our game description on there does need a bit of sprucing up though, believe it just says
Genesis
The Original LP Mud
And clicking on our info seems to be updated with new admin but no new description.
