to get more players???
-
That would make this game known more :) +1
-
But, this game isn't an MMO.
-

DIGITALPAINTBALL MMO FTW

But, this game isn't an MMO.
eh yah it is. MMO = masive moltie online.
if Jit dont mind i can start registering it on some sites.
-
This game isn't massive. :P
-
SHH Eiii keep that a secret.
-
A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMOG or simply MMO) is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously.
DP is not an MMO.
-
LOL alrighty then just an MO :P
-
But it could be an MMO :P
-
lol "moltie"
-
well they wouldn't know that. the community will adjust to the amount of people quickly if it ever where needed.
-
No no no. An MMO has hundreds of people connected at one time, on one server. Not hundreds over several servers.
Besides that, "MMO" is often used as an abbreviation of MMORPG.

woulnt matter, we need more ppl playing.

wrong, MMO can be just MMO or MMOFPS wich is DP PB2 MMORTS and others.
-
Planetside is a MMOFPS, with 3000 players online at any one time battling across continents. DP2 is paintball in small areas with up to 32 people. Usually less, because 32 is horrendously crowded.
There's a difference here.
-
I would fake it to #1 :)
-
Dp isn't an MMO. But it wouldn't hurt to get a banner on a site. It's really lacking in the matching scene, same five or so clans. Pubs usually have 1 american server with 15ish people, then OTB Speed and a few people on jump maps. Putting up a banner would get us a few more players, and hopefully half of them get mIRC and stick with the game. Even another 5 active mIRC matching clans would help out.

and hopefully half of them get mIRC and stick with the game
how many of cuurent players use irc?
10%? or less? less.
-
well if evryone will tell there friends on other games about it too, and facebook and myspace that would help. alrighty, DP PB2 is just an MO (miltiplayer online) Happy?:P :P :P still though, fake it man. we just need the name out there, banner ads on games like Tribalwars.net and Londinivm.com and nationstates.net to name a few. would help.
(i'v ben using IRC along time befor DP PB2, i love it)
-
still though, fake it man.
I suggest partnering with botnet operators to deploy DP on a massive scale. Sure, not everybody will continue to play it, but we can boost the install base for only a few cents a head. Let's do this, man!

You misread what I had typed. I said usually, not always.
Regardless, DP is not an MMO.
-
LOL i understood and corected what i said to say DP PB2 is just Miltiplayer online, and then i said, fake it. Jit, if you read this, what do you think man?
-
Why not put up some banners? It's not an MMO due to the lack of advertising. Also when people download dp, they have zero idea what mIRC is. So maybe also add that into the downloads page and describe abit what it is. But putting up banners would just increase the amount of players. But right now dp is really hurting in the matching scene, and needs more players.
-
I'l get towork tonight makeing some banners, i can make some simple gif animated ones use'n GIMP,
-
Myers, you don't get it. DP is not an MMO, no matter how many people are online at one time. They are all connected to different servers. Same thing goes with Left 4 Dead. As of writing this there are 27,028 people playing L4D, however, L4D is also not an MMO.
-
Zorch, it dont matter dude, we arnt trying to figer what it is or what it ant, we are just talking about ways to get advertisment out there for the game, you have made your point, we get it.
DP PB2 may not be an MMO but it is an MO and you can still put it up on top lists, and look at this site
http://www.freemmogamer.com/2008/09/best-free-fps-shooter-mmofps-list.html
alot of the games there run them on alot of difrent servers.
-
heres a quick banner i threw together using screenshots from the screenshots page on this site just to get a feel for what the banner would could look like.
-
MMO has to be in one server? Okay, well even if it can't become an MMO, putting out some banners would help advertise the game. So maybe instead of trying to make it an MMO, try to make it a known game? More active? Get the name out there?
EDIT: Saw your post chewbacca, and i would say to use new models, not the old ones. The new ones are more appealing.
-
Yah i know they are, thats just a mock up i made. gona play the game in a bit and get some screenshots with the hires HR4 textures and new models
-
I have nothing against promoting this game, in fact I support that. However, you cannot claim that this game is something it's not by posting it up on MMO lists.
As for the banners, they are a good idea if you can find a place to put them. If I find a good one, there is a good chance that I'll put it up on my site (not that anyone goes there in the first place, but whatever :P ).

botnet. +1
