Howdy folks. We've had a strong showing this month, pushing us to a solid 3rd place on the Mud Sites voting. I've noticed various threads popping up on their forums inquiring about what MUDs are out there, and encourage our player base to spread the news that DR is alive and doing well. You might even consider sharing your videos there as some of the other MUDs' players have done.
While I don't have any hard evidence it is making a difference, the number of Outgoing click throughs is impressive and will hopefully nab us some attention. We'll continue thinking up new ideas and keep building momentum. Thanks!

One thing I've noticed is number four is gaining on us.
Here I was wondering if there was another site we should also be voting on, but maybe we should try to get more intone with getting this one for another month.

Where are the forums where folks are asking about MUDs?
I just signed onto the forums to see where we should put a link to the videos for new players to see them.
I don't think many new players are looking in the advertising folder.
Nevano, the folks over at Elanthipedia and I have the following page where all the DR videos will be linked.
http://elanthipedia.org/w/index.php/Help_Videos#General_Systems
Where would the most appropriate place for the post showing this link be?

Hey guys, feel free to post your support of the game on the Join Dragonrealms thread over at the TopMudSites. It got off to a rocky start, but seems to have settled down. The posters there want to know your favorite things about the game and why you continue to play when other free MUDs exist. All I ask is we try to keep comments civil and on topic.
Thanks for your support!

This is a great idea, but I just find it distasteful for some reason. Maybe I should just get over that.
I guess what would really help me is if a link appeared on the elanthipedia search page, rather than just the main page. I almost never visit the main page, but rather go straight to searching for what I'm looking for.

I investigated if this was possible, and I can't find a non-horribly complex way to do that.

>>Kodius is correct, we need more positive spin in that forum, there are a bunch of trolls trying to derail the thread over there, if you get a second throw DR some support. I actually think we could get some more people in this game via this website.
I'll be there, just waiting on the approval to post myself.

26+ days in the voting cycle and DR has 1256 votes. By my Calculations ~65-70 are mine (2 at home, 1 at work daily except weekends). So that says to me most people don't vote regularly.
If people did, we would easily hit 2nd place which currently has 2200+ votes. I am sure staff can vote too.
Is it a big deal? Eh probably not that big of a deal if we maintain 1st page, but 2nd is definitely better of course.

Re: Top Mud Sites on 06/27/2013 08:18 AM CDT
I vote twice a day most days, remember you have to vote 12 hrs after your initial and sometimes I don't vote exactly at 12 hr mark but a bit after, which pushes back my next vote and it simply compounds it.

>>That mentality is why we're not second.
Ignoring that I'm not an aberration when it comes to remembering to vote daily and vote often is only going to keep us lower in the rankings than we could be.
DR/SIMU needs to be more proactive in informing AND reminding people to vote. I only remember that it's time to vote when I visit epedia. Reminders work. DR should be better at reminding people than a third party site.
