Server Growth - What are you doing about it, and what can be done?

Very nice @M3THMOUTH , and great points that everyone has made about spamming.

Let's just share experiences. If we could get just a portion of the activity in these forums onto Reddit it'd have a big impact.

We do have cool content and events too, just isn't shared. So let's do that!

I just saw that & replied in r/uo, that's awesome you posted it to r/gaming, too.

I just hope anyone who clicks your link doesn't get scared off by the 2015 error

Either way, the IMGUR page I have it linked to already has 915 views; any exposure is good exposure. I'm glad I took your advice and took pictures of what I was doing instead of just blatantly advertising the shard, more of the game and by the way this is where and how I am playing.

I feel like if we can continue to do similar things with similar posts it would be great. Possibly maintaining the facebook page as well, as the other large servers do and they stay active just with posts about what is going on day to day on the shard.

Pretty awesome man, looked like several people were interested!

2,692 views as of now.. I think we should invest some time into doing this ourselves, telling stories about what we enjoy doing in this game instead of just advertising the random people how Caska had said. This was a shoddy clip too, of me literally picking cotton haha. Hope to see more ideas and see everyone here participate.

Great job m3th, tons of upvotes so far. And great responses from people on the subreddit.

I posted the trailer Keza made, unfortunately my post only has 1 point right now. It's on the bottom, please upvote!

We already had people in IRC from that post. Everybody, tuck in your shirts and hide the dirty dishes!!

Upvoted!

upvoted! great job!

Nicely done my man.

4 New Players, Most have not played in over 10 years! I really think we should start more new characters to grind with them. So many players AFK it's insane!

clones? like corn?
Tis a slippery slope humanity is slipping.

At the end of last year, we created a newsletter that Telamon blasted out to all past and present UOR players (basically anyone that has an email address registered through the game). Here is a link to it:

We covered the big events from that year, and some small ones too. I was hoping to turn it into a quarterly thing, but have run into a poop-storm of RL things lately. It's a good way to poke past players though, I think.

Posted a story from the weekend, Upvote, add some comments and we can try to get some more people interested in our shard. I should have done screenshots as everyone loves those.. but eh next adventure.

Sounds like its working well, several new players came after reading reddit so far, awesome!

I am not much into Reddit, but perhaps someone wants to share some of our most glorious tales there?

For example the big thieving thread: http://uorforum.com/threads/uo-renaissance-thieving-perfected-ongoing-thread.7945/
