Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
I think bots should advertise forums more actively and encourage people to come on. Writing down websites is hard in games though, so perhaps putting up a message in addition to the site link as "Google EotA forums!" or something might help get more people on here. I'm not expecting droves to come flock here, but perhaps more active advertising will get a few more people coming here quicker and posting more.
I realize getting more people hosting bots is a priority right now, and if I could I would (running a laptop with unstable internet so not a great idea for me atm.) However, I wanna make a request that perhaps we try out putting a bot or one of Perhaps' bots on Kalimdor for a few days. Kalimdor is filled with lovely Asians that we should reach out to! Yay.

You could put it in the HostEm join message perhaps?

Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
I was hoping it could somehow just be integrated into a bot message when you join a game or sth.

Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
How about making the advertisement a riddle, which only smart people could solve?
Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
I would have to shut down the bots for it. But it sure would be a nice excuse to be able to restart my comp.

Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
I have a line limit with the bot greeting so I don't want to get too wordy... And just to say "Google "eota twilight"" seems a bit precarious.

Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
Hell with it, I'll just go about doing it without waiting for a reply, like I usually do.Perhaps@Scrap the loading bars already! wrote:Somewhat relevant, version 13.3 of GHost++ has an option to make it so people who've loaded see the game with a lag box up for those who haven't loaded yet. No, players won't be dropped because of it (at least I don't think), it's allegedly keeps resetting the countdown of lag box every 30 seconds.

Re: Forum Advertisements + Bot Expansion
On DBAS it resets every 10 seconds, which leads me to believe there will be an option for that somewhere.
Why not enable it?
