Pre-Promotion (part 3)

(Promotion Gear Up - Post 3 of 6)

We have another very important facet of pre-promotion that must be in
place for prospective players. They must be able to locate us and actually
log in! How will they find us? Will our website hold their attention
for more than a few seconds? If they decide to give it a try, how do
they log in, and with what client? Is the client so clunky they immediately
are turned off and think the game seems terrible? Perhaps most importantly,
what will even help them locate us? Where will they hear/read/learn about
Genesis to begin with? Thus, we are left with yet another list:

II. EXTERNAL PREPARATION:

A. Refurbished and attractive Genesis website complete and ready for
use (in process, but further development needed)
B. Custom-built, pre-configured Genesis Client downloadable from
website (in process, but further deveopment needed)
C. Creation of promotional materials (funding required)

These categories are where very little has been shared outside of the Admin
thus far. These matters are the most difficult to tackle, because they do
not occur within the game environment, and cannot be accomplished
by anything related to the way players play or the way wizards code. What
they require, typically, are time, talent and (often enough) money in the
real world.

The next post will deal with the development of the website itself, a
lengthy topic in its own right.

This post cannot be effectively deleted from this part of the forum, but I am locking the topic here and have merged it with the Pre-Promotion section of Keeper's Korner. Please reference that area for consolidated discussion on these topics.
