I think more people would post if/when:
1.) the site is better organized -- get the equivalent of a dedicated community manager to clean up threads and stickies because it is difficult to figure out what is going on. 2.) the site is better moderated -- the flaming gets out of hand very quickly and should be handled by a dedicated group of mods/mini-mods that are different from the communty manager responsibilities. 3.) the team gets close to release -- right now we're just spectators without much control, watching a team of dedicated volunteers pour time into this project without much reward. |

Think about it, the first to release a emulator will obviously get the most interest out of the community. I mean you have to face a few things here, the majority of people working on the "Other" team, once worked right here, they were the ones that REALLY got the SWGEmu team pushed into speed. I'm sure we all remembered when Xeno and Snow abruptly took off, and some of us have no idea why that even happened, and now look.. they're part of a 12+ team, who knows.. Ant could even be working on that specific core. SWGEmu, here's a clue, whatever you did in the past.. seriously.. don't do it again. Recruit some more coders, and treat them with more respect and you just might pull through with a better server, as far as I see it now.. there's a really big handful of high quality coders working on this "Other" Emu. You better work fast or get better with the updates, because what that other team has released is more than you have. You guys know what you need to do to increase traffic around here, I suggest you get on it if you really want to get the community started.

I am running into the same problem trying to get all of my old guild from Lowca interested. All of them are quite certain SOE/LA will get involved sooner or later to shut it down, so why get excited or even test it. I to try explaining. I even posted a quote from several posts I've seen on the topic. I see this topic being a major cramp on the community until either SOE/LA give their blessings, or the servers have been live for a few months.

One way to attract new members is by visiting devs of other emulation communities not to take them from their main hobby but get their interest in your community. They may not be full devs but they can still add a little code here and there from time to time which really adds up.
You are getting some news exposure. I've started up an emulation news site called Wolflore not too long ago. Shardwire still has links and some info even though its nearly dead and Emulation Resource is reporting news from here. |

An Idea
I loved precu. A lot. Too much actually.
But I am not playing swgemu yet. Im not testing it. Nothing like that. See, from what I can tell by looking at the forums, this is what will happen. 1: I download a large file to install swg. 2: I open up the myriad of different guides to install swgemu and bumble through it 3: I have to replace certain files with certain other files 4: I run the patch 5: I try to log in 6: I will crash and/or be unable to login 7: I will post on the forum for help 8: I am told to do a forum search for the guides, and am told "stfu noob" and other "leet" expletives. 9: I try to explain why I cant login because the guides are difficult to understand, some are contradictory, and there are multiple files/installers I need to run 10: I am yet again called a noob 11: I dont end up logging in, so I give up. Instead, I chose the more stress free path of: 1: Watch the forums in silence and await the coming of a single patcher/installer/updater/downloader that gets rid of the guesswork and file replacing 2: Install/play/post feedback Because I havent installed the game due to the seeming difficulty of installation, I havent tried. I personally thing this is where many of the 8k users stand. Because I cant play, I cant post feedback. If you want a bigger community and more users and feedback, Make a nice big easy installer, and eliminate the flaming. -Arch |

You may not post new threads
You may post replies You may not post attachments You may edit your posts This is along with the flames and the quick to ban nature pretty much somes it up. I really feel that if a junior member had asked the question of why isn't there more feed back, the answer would have been to "look into the future server ideas section" or "use search you noob." Then someone would have closed the thread long before page 46. Ask specific questions if you want specific answers. Last edited by Waiko; 04-12-2007 at 12:37 PM. |
