Getting more people to join TAO!

[baller12]

I would like to find some ideas from some people on how we could get more people to join the same game we all love TAO. If you have an idea please share. If that idea is so good in my opinion I will try to make it possible and help get more people.:help:

[shurtugal]

The only way that you could get a large amount of people to join TAO, would be to advertise it on a gaming site, like addictinggames, which is where a large deal of the players used to find it.

[Loopget]

TAO's advertisments has been taken off almost all sites that i knew of, which is why the population is decreasing, the games dead, the ONLY thing that will keep it going for a bit is updates, and we all know thats not gonna happen =\

[baller12]

K im going to create a addictinggames acc and ask if they will put it as there main game. :)

[Gypsy]

I need $10,000 for expenses and I can get this done.

[baller12]

done :)

[zyz]

legends already did that on addicting games.. o_o put it on miniclips.com

[baller12]

GOOD IDEA but we would need an adminastrator to help us get it on there.

[shurtugal]

The odds of you getting the game to be advertised on addictinggames or miniclip is very small, especially if you do it, baller. No offence, but computers aren't your strong point.

[baller12]

any why would i say that we need an admin?????????????????/

[savanna]

theres already too many people here.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BRING IN MORE?

No, there's just too many dumbasses.

irony :rolleyes:

[shurtugal]

My ass is very intelligent, thank you very much.

[Jeffery]

My ass is very intelligent, thank you very much.
It is, unfortunately, the smartest part of you.

[philrox]

Aye, but its at the least something, Jeff.

[pimp_2_plz]

If you want more people to come have you thought about not begin retards to the people of legends?

CAUSE DICKHEADS LIKE YOU SCARE THEM OFF.
I try to be nice to people, and get them to feel welcomed, but you fuckheads go and screw it up, instead of teaching them.

I love you, but EDIT.

Goooood Luck.

OH HAI
No, there's just too many dumbasses.
You were a dumb ass once, I can find proof. Everyone was. But I had someone who was nice to me, instead of attacking. If you make them feel welcome, they'll stay. If you are a prick (Which most of you people are...) then they'll just leave.

Anyways.. HAI TAO.

Yep, that's where I found it, in the computer lab at college. Lol.

God I'm old :(

[Deadpool]

Well the bright side is that your not a clown right butch?

[mattroe]

Come on guys if we all put our heads (and shurts ass) together, Im sure we can figure something...Yeaaaaa

lol

Wait Legends has advertisment on addictinggames.com???

[Hellblazer]

K im going to create a addictinggames acc and ask if they will put it as there main game. :)

It was at one point. Anyway, just tell your friends. No site's gonna advertise a dying game, though.

[Night.Blaze]

If you want more people to come have you thought about not begin retards to the people of legends?

screw legends
FPS > "Legends"
you want more people?
try telling your friends to join
try telling your friends to tell their friends to join
and so on and so forth
this way EVERYONE can have at least 1 friend
and EVERYONE can stop complaining that they have none
and START complaining that they now have no lives and are otherwise screwed of any social life whatsofricken ever

[elimination]

Geez night.boob is that how it is with you?
I'm glad its not like that with me, I have plenty of friends, girls and boys ;)
And I hangout with them...
Oh and, if legenders complain about us flaming them, maybe they should learn how to spell or quit thinking they are better than us when most of them aren't. Also, pimp_2_plz; I seriously don't understand a single word you said.
*thought about not begin retards to the people*? What the heck?!?!

No, but TAO does. if you go into the "Strategy" games on addictinggames, you can find it. But since it's not one of the featured games anymore, no one gets here from there.

[mattroe]

Lol, this game was slowing down, right before it got taken off the featured part

but still I wonder how most new people got to this site...all like 4 of them

[philrox]

I guess that's the problem though..if people tell their friends about it then no one cares.

"Hey guys, play this awesome strategic game called TAO!"
"???"

[T Solo]

We could like, send out mass spam emails!

[Shiznit]

We could like... talk to a famous youtuber. And send them a check.

To make a video on TAO.

?.? :confused:

[Knight~of~Honor]

how about a TAO Thai restaurant?

[Morning Star]

TAO IMO will only get smaller. Not nearly the vets as there used to be 2-3 years ago to help drive the game. The current player base is here for the wrong reasons and lack of updates and work to the game don't help either.

A lot of these ideas are short term success at best, but after a few months, TAO would be right back to where it is today.

You want suggestions how to get more people, here are some ideas:

(1) Don't kick off demo accounts just for sitting/waiting in the main game area. Also, remove the kick person from server after game.

Maybe there are alot of stupid pepople out there and this strategy works, but it has a reverse effect on me. This makes me actually never want to play this game and especially never want to be a gold member. When the game finishes I think it's totally acceptable to make demo players wait 30 seconds to rejoin the gate, but what actually happens is it disconnects you from the game entirely and makes you relog in. Again, people are lazy and your just creating friction with keeping demo players in. The longer a demo player plays AOF, the better odds of him/her going gold. No need to penalise players.

(2) Readvertise this game in www.Jayisgames.com. I know this game is old as day, but I helped get many users to restart playing another old game by simply writing up a review for this game. I also reccomend trying to get on other less popular sources like www.gameportal.com and a few others....

(3) Optimize the website for google. I'm not a web coder, but I know there are more efficient ways to get higher google ratings. I'm not talking keywords, I'm not talking paying for higher ratings. I'm specifically talking about a .txt file that is called from the main .html file that specifically helps google grab the website.

(4) Partner up with more similiar games. It's not competition, it's about getting popular.

Hope these help,
Mongo

[Morning Star]

Good suggestions. While I may not agree with all, I do agree that the life of a game and its growth anyway has to have some sort of visibilty through various outlets of advertisement.

This game has none, and probably never will. R.I.P.

The thing is, to a lot of people the grey accounts are a lot more fun. They usually only upgrade to not get kicked out of the server or to go to rev. So, this would just make TAO lose money in the end, and everything is money my friend.

I think this is actually a good idea, it just sucks that none of the admins are active so even if they get around to coming to the forum I doubt anyone would actually read this. Hopefully serg will though.

Yeah, that takes time. The admins of TAO don't have that kind of time.

Right, so does anyone actually have data to suggest that people are upgrading because they are getting kicked out? How about knowing how many people quit this game all together because they get frustrated with the game miscellaneously kicked them out. I've been in games where I got booted and the whoel when a game ends and I just leave the server is very confusing to new users. See what you are missing is the fact that what is far more important factor then anything else is having a user continue playing for longer then a day, week, month. In the beggining, my experience was a little bit nerve wrecking that the game kept booting me. It didn't make me want to upgrade, it made me want to stop playing all together. It made me feel like the game was buggy. Most people don't read, so I would guess to say a vast majority fall into this category.

[Mongolian]

Here is a new suggestion:

(5) A completely free server that has no rankings. Only inactive accounts over 1-3 months would be deleted. So your saying, why not just use the regular servers, and just keep remaking your account each month? It's not really the same thing. People like to be apart of something permanent. And with a greater population of players 70%+ being the free player mode, you need to give more incentive for people to play the game all together. If you keep more free players playing, that is your biggest asset to getting paying members.

[Jeffery]

"free" servers still cost money to run. There will never be a server that is freetoplay on indefinitely.

Pay $5 and take the "permanent" account on Rev. That is the best dealyou'll ever get.

[Mongolian]

wow, I didn't realise it was that cheap. Insane. But at $5 just to be on gold server, it makes me feel like they aren't relying on that type of cash flow. Btw, the website's advertising I'm sure pays for 5x ++ what all the user's game flow brings in. So, don't be fooled.

Can you say that again IN ENGLISH?

"5x ++ what all the user's game flow"?????

[Mongolian]

What is CPM?
Cost Per thousand iMpressions is an effective method of pricing web banner ads. It is the cost for displaying a banner 1000 times. Thus, if a banner ad space has a CPM of $10, it means that the cost of displaying a banner space one thousand times on that space is $10. A site like this easily brings in CPM 1-15. Let's say 10. Let 10x30=$300 a month. You think more then 60 users are turning gold each month? (if gold = $5)

[Jeffery]

You do realize there are 300+ confirmed monthly accounts that pay $5 per month,right?

You obviously have zero idea what TAO is,and how it works. I would suggest you learn more about TAO before you start making half-thought suggestions.
