How do we, as a community, bring in more players? I am from the US, and I need more people to kill, help me brainstorm.

Best bet would be to post on videos regarding warhammer(probably even the tabletop stuff since atleast some of those guys are probably fans of the MMO) on youtube saying its back. Though i do not condone spamming said videos.

Hello,

I thought about this very long time too. There a different options.

1. You can comment on Videos related to Warhammer that there is a private server. Or you answer to people who miss the game. (Don't write a comment below a EA uploaded video)

I know this sites with many Warhammer videos:

https://www.youtube.com/?hl=de&gl=DE
http://www.dailymotion.com/

Example
Spoiler:
To show what I mean with the comments. One of the most known Warhammer shut down videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxfoR_3PU9c
Many other people do this too but there are that many videos without an information that there is a private server.

2. Inform Communities. There are thousands of Warhammer related Websites with a forum.

-Warhammer Websites
-Gamin Forums with a Warhammer Sections
-MMORPG Websites
-Private Server websites where you can advertise for free
-Table-Top sites with a Gaming section
-Guild Websites (Inform Veterans!)

Example
Spoiler:
To show what I mean with forums. A German Table-Top forum: http://www.tabletopwelt.de/index.php?/f ... terspiele/
3. Public networks. There are also thousands of public networks with Warhammer communities/groups whatever like on Facebook, groups with 1k - 2k people. Inform them, send links, send videos contact them.

Example
Spoiler:
To show what I mean with groups on networks. Largest Facebook group for Warhammer: https://www.facebook.com/groups/475990622499065/
4. Old friends/Guild Members, contact them when you still know them. Visit their TeamSpeak/Mumble/Raidcall ... write them a message.

=================================================================================================

Be creative, there are for each language and each country different possibilities.

Lots of advertising on games sites, add it in the http://www.xtremetop100.com/ ; http://www.gtop100.com/ etc (idk if it's there already ... checked but couldn't see...) where people can vote for it (reward for players that vote it would be a nice way to keep em going and keep the server/game in the tops). With many votes the server would show up in the list- more people will be able to check it - more players.
Just a thought :)
