Hey everyone
I was just wondering if and when you guys are going to begin advertising? I have always thought that was a key way of getting players. Almost every game I have played was found through an advertisement. Some I like, some I hate, but either way I found a new game . The reason I ask this is that I feel Fallen Sword appears to be declining at a somewhat rapid stage over the last year or so, this was one of my favorite games so I hate to see that. It seems almost impossible to start a new guild on there due to the player population. So you can tell the playerbase is affecting the actual game. I can't remember the last time I saw an advertisement for Fallen Sword which is why I ask this. So what exactly is your plan to get people on this website? The majority of the people who know about this game are from your other games, or just happened to stumble upon it.

I guess advertisement for the broad public would be a good thing to do when the game is at least in the Beta testing phase.

If you advertise before the game is (close to) playable then people will notice you and also forget about it very soon.
Advertisement will lead to more people interested to play and that requires a game that is (close) to being playable so that players sign up and like to play it.

Savanc is correct. We would prefer to wait until there is something for people to play before we launch our full advertising campaign. However, Eldevin is gaining more exposure around the general gaming and development community as our iPhone/iPad games are hitting the market and the company's profile is being raised. We will have a thorough advertising run for beta/launch.

I hope that campaign includes referral marketing with a reward system like those found in Fallensword.
