i had an idea for a method of advertising a while back.
its not a method that is quick, nor easy. it's time consuming, and it could fail just as easily as it could succeed.
so why consider it? well, if it succeeds, it might bring a lot of players in.
so, here's the idea:
i'm sure a lot of players out there know how to build websites and have other interests besides this game. things like other games, real life activities, etc. i'm sure most players here have places that they often go to to discuss these activities as well such as chat rooms, various forums, blog sites, social networking sites (ie facebook), etc.
now, what i'm getting at is that you could build a website for something that you like and advertise it among the places you chat about similar stuff. then if/when it gets big and popular you can start advertising TU on it to hopefully get players to come check out this game.
as an example:
lately i've been getting into playing facebook games. i noticed some had no fansites for info that many could make good use of. thus, http://gamecharts.tuwr.net was born. i put info on it for many of the facebook games that i am playing. so far its getting a lot of activity from one of the games it has info on, and i'm expecting it to get a lot of visitors from some other games as well. anyway, after it gets big and popular, i'm going to start putting big advertisements on it for TU.
its time consuming and a lot of work, but if it works then TU might see a nice constant flow of players from facebook.
as for the time frame? no clue. depends on how fast it gets big. could take months.
