Forum knowledge

It baffles me to see how many people I pm and not a single one of them know what era-go.com is, like wtf?? They will say things like, it's only helping you! Or "I'm not falling for that one" they think the site is a way to back their account! I mean wtf really..? Okay! So here's my idea.
It's obvious that the news room isn't really doing anything so my tip is this, we put out a server message and automatic one like the ones about stealing accounts etc and say this.

"Come down to our forums and online community at Era-go.com and interact with out forums!!You yes! You! Could change the way graal is played for everyone!Look at the money guides other players have posted or just chat about different games!The possibilities are endless! So come over to our forums at Era-go.com!!"

Simple, short, sweet and an easy eye catcher. This ofcourse could be changed to another way of wording it but this is just the option or example I give you.

Thanks for reading

P.S. If someone could make me a banner with my name maybe talk to me about possibilities that would be awesome! I currently don't have a computer.

As optimistic your idea may sound, the truth is, I would say that less than 5% of the people who get that message will actually bother going on forums.

Maybe add a sign at start advertising the forum


Did you mean a banner like advertising you? I have a bad one on my status (ignore how bad it is I was bored) my name is RastaNuttytrooper56 if you want to see it.

Ren had suggested putting an NPC at start that you can grab to launch the forum website. I think this would get people's attention the most. Less than 2 percent of the players actually use the forums. Forums arent really something that grasp the attention of younger people which is the majority of the players though xD

Funny how I didn't even get a PM. Most of the peeps who are in that room are inactive.

Also, what do you mean to make you a banner?

I think it means he wants a signature with his name on it.

We have that Join Era-Go Free EC sign, however it doesn't do much.

Their needs to be a 'Free EC' part as an incentive for noobs to join

XD ppl will just join for the ec alone. So na do but that in start.

Reminds me of myself :)

I still think forum competitions is one of the best routes for getting the word out about Era-Go in-game and increasing active members. I explained it here:

Just saw the new Competitions forum and thought I'd throw some ideas out there. I'd really like to see some competitive forum events, not on the forums themselves, but in-game. For example: A thread announcing a 2-vs-2 spar MPX Gun only tournament hosted with a prize of 5k gralats for the winners. Now anyone can participate in this forum competition, but they gotta sign up to Era-Go first to post their participation for the event. Rules and requirements can be determined by the host.

I've seen other players who host their own events do this with success, and I think this would be a nice project for the Moderation Team to host and Forum Managers to oversee on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to promote forum activity, as these competitions can be hosted on a host's house template. What I like about the idea is that it's completely flexible and requires little maintenance besides planning and collaboration, from races, to sparring, or anything else a host can think of. If enough effort is put into this, there can even be a information kiosk NPC in-game that displays upcoming forum competitions with directions on how to sign up. Ultimately this will create:

• More forum activity from players looking to sign up, and will likely feel more comfortable interacting in discussions.
• More engagement from the Moderation Team.
• Fun for players to compete in-game for various competitions.

Finally, I'd like to see varying amounts of gralats as the exclusive prize for these competitions, to keep them unique and separated from the regular admin hosted events. This will make a fun opportunity as another alternative to make money, and the gralats can easily be added from a high staff.

To elaborate, the idea is to get members to be genuinely interested to join on their own for the content and competitions, not for free items. These forum-exclusive events would be different from the free event coin sign-up, since players would now have to compete for a prize like in-game events, and we know there's a lot of players who enjoy competing in PvP environments.

The best part is the competitions themselves can be flexible: 2-v-2 spar tournament, MPX Gun only singles tournament, races, etc.. For the bigger (or any) forum competitions, there can be minimum forum post requirements before someone can sign-up. Moderation before and during the competitions will be crucial here, but could be a good opportunity for monitoring forum activity.

With regular competitions, players who signed up for them will keep checking the forums for any new forum events that catches their attention. This may eventually get them more engaged with the Era-Go community, instead of the "sign=up for ec then disappear" method.

There's some other competition ideas in this thread too: https://www.era-go.com/forum/showthr...on-Forum-Ideas

Personally, I'd be happy with gralats only as prizes, to keep it separated from in-game events.

For advertising, an NPC or two placed somewhere around Start Park or similar hot-spots with a lot of player activity will gain some attention, along with information on any current or upcoming forum competitions. Naturally, players will trust the site more since it would be supported in-game.


Those are just a few options, and there are others. Just a matter of choosing which direction the forum should go. :)
