Hmmm... more emphasis to find my copy of flash pro 8 so I can make a better ad >_>

just wondering, is their a way to make in-gameplay movies? that would definitely attract more people.

Tip- 4 world builders, make Final Fantasy style worlds. those games can sometimes bring a to tears
search on wikipedia to learn more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy

only problem with highly themed worlds is the appearence and working with the games current abilities to make stuff fit the theme.

it takes lots of work to make the world look like it fits the theme (making the possibly over 200 models and textures) and then you have to figure out how to use the games current programming to simulate stuff to fit the theme (like manually changing stuff to make the world cycle threw realistic seasons, which possibly means making model and texture sets for each season)

after doing all the work, if nobody goes to the world, thats a lot of time wasted.

The Universal is a unique, massively multiplayer online game...

If you start basing all the worlds off of popular video games then TU is no longer unique and it just becomes like every other game...a hack, desperate for attention, using any cheap gimmick to attract a few more players...I spit on such games...

I looked up some site we could add the game to which will get us some new players and some attention. They are vote sites which alot of people use to find new games and is an easy way of advertising a game. Mit if you like the idea there are the URLs for the sites below it looks pretty easy to join up.

that would be cool as long as it's free. to pay money 4 it would be harder still because the Dev Team already spends enough of their own time working on the universal (besides drinking) and dont get anything from it (except getting drunk). are those the only vote sites though?

[blanchy_666]

from what I seen they were free and thats only a few I found there is heaps of these sites out there

[zaroba]

just search google for 'free online game directory'
hundreds of sites will probably come up that this game can be listed on.

Or the following which i used to search;

'Free Online MMORPG'
'MMORPG Topsites'
'Free Online Games'
'Free Online Gaming Topsites'
'Online Game'
'Online Gaming'
'Online Game Play Free'

Keywords are usually enough to not fill google with stuff which isn't needed, those phrases will probably get some different links than usual I'll do some when i get the chance as well, this week is going to be very busy for me though so it'll probably be a couple of weeks before i start adding.

yeah it would be a good idea to put the universal on free online game site to attract attention

morbydvisns, i saw ur post about that guild u have in space cowboy (which i used to play) and it seems cool (might go back to it ). making guilds in other mmo's would prob get more plyers to TU

[killkill]

i also just posted a forum topic on TU to maybe find some1 to play it. it was on mmorpg.com, and my account name is killerblade on it.
