Public Relations Group (Or can be added to support team)

[Johon]

I don't know if my observation is right but as what I have heard, we have less new players that are playing our server than the old times.
I'm thinking of ways on how to advertise more for our beloved server and I checked our social media pages (FB and Twitter) and saw this..

As you can see, our social media pages has less than 500 likes and followers..
And for me.. social media nowadays are a great tool to advertise to people.
So here it goes.. I suggest that we create a team called the Public Relations Group that
updates our social media and helps plan in advertising our server. People belonging to those group will help manage our social media account and we can use tools like facebook and twitter ads to target specific people. If you need more info or help about this.. you can post or pm me. . That is all.

Been there and tried to do that for a long time, not just me but also resistant even purchased some Facebook Ads and more being managed by him and some of us (staff) back then. Doing big events with rewards such as Uber’s. Sadly Webzen took down our Facebook (5/6k Likes if I’m not wrong). About advertising events it’s a waste of time just around 10% of the forumers does some effort trying to join in. With the years learned that our players come themselves by checking websites like xtremetop100 and others that votes for mmorpg, YouTube videos, or that we’ll I’m in some kind of cyber cafe and i see someone playing and he invites me to play etc (happens most in Asia) or users playing another mmorpg, discord servers.

Plus these social media’s are way used in order to sell items, accounts, impersonating staffers and many more. Don’t take me wrong it’s just my opinion.

Actually johon has a point in advertising infinityMu. And i respect that for being helpful in increasing the population of the community. But as i know infinityMU will soon make a few adjustments in social media sites that will propagate the game itself. What i mean is that resi will add new additions to FB, Twitter, and other social media sites that would make the gamers around the world would know about infinityMU. And wrathbingr is also correct in some fb pgea that will create ways to buy and sell and stuff. But if this suggestion will go through, i would much like to be apart of it since my goal is to spread infinityMU and maybe i can be of help to the community even if its the smallest way possible. What i can say to this suggestion is that as of now its possible but maybe in the near future, resi will make the infinityMu official fb page and other social media sites be another outlet to increase players.

IMO, i would still prefer youtube content creation and vlogs since youtube is very popular. With the search term "Mu Online" you can have thousands of results from hacks to different servers. if we had a youtube channel with constant vlogs and content like twice a week from all of us it can help propagate and gain subscribers thus the server gain money from youtube because it has connections

I ahree to thiszx i vote for every active players to subscribe to infinityMU channel to increase subs. We will make 5k subs to be able for the channel to reach the monetization system for youtube

[MENTION=33215]Beerus[/MENTION] forum heroes would be of great help also when it comes to advertising using fb or twitter ads. What if parts of the forum hero fund 1$ for 5$ will be gone to advertising of our server using this social media site? haha

And to add up, what if every country has a trusted admin for those social media pages? In that way.. each admin (or team) of every country can pinpoint the target audience of these advertisements that we will be doing and boost more player count.

I know it's hard to advertise but just my idea.. if we cant target players with ages considered as teenagers (13 - 19 years old)
How about we play the nostalgia card so that all those players that had played mu before will be enticed to play again? :emotic1:

Yes, somehow I agree on this. But can I ask you what sample contents would we do in order to have more views? Creating vlogs and videos is not the problem.. the problem is how do we make people watch those videos and be interested in them. Much more, invite them ingame and register to our site. :emotic1:

Such as intense fights with exploding combos
Drama, rivalry of apolakay and vin
Hackers and duels
Uber set reviews both old and new
Some server unique features such as draco hunting

Fights and combo.. maybe acceptable.
But personal player rivalries? I dont think it can entice new comers because they cant relate.

As far as I know, the current page is the 3rd or 4th one already (not sure). All the previous pages were quashed by webzen like what Wrathbinge said.

2014 - https://forum.infinitymu.net/showthread.php?71802-ADS-Our-Facebook-Page
2018 - https://forum.infinitymu.net/showthread.php?109416-Article-InfinityMu-Wikipedia-Page

I think the best way to utilize Facebook is by managing groups instead of pages. A group is a mere community--- a group of people who share the same interest or enthusiasm towards something, so webzen can't really touch it as it can't be considered as a competitor/rival. Groups can be by country to avoid language barriers and miscommunicatons. However, I see more cons than pros with this kind of set up.

I also agree to this:

About the Public Relations Group --- the staff team is composed of people with varying nationalities. They pretty much represent their countrymen and promote public relations.

[MENTION=37696]Johon[/MENTION] in regards to current social media sites. I know venci is working on it so theres no reason for dividing the funds for that matter since it goes directly to resi himself. I will guess maybe this year the fb pages would be back again and in that way this suggestion is locked on to social media sites hence adding more players to the community..

Advertising start with the ppl that play the game.
We can tell how great the game is and etc, to ppl we dont know, But how do they going to take us to us words? they can try out the game and says nha its not like they advertised, because they cant find a good run flow with it.

but when some 1 hear it from some 1 they know and he tells that to some 1 and he tells that to some 1 you reach alot more player base.

its not how much you put in the advertising its how you advertise it.
each year we let players make a vid, not so long ago there was a advertise event. all those small things helps in a way.

making it a 1 man job is stupid, when its a player base thing. make the math: if lets say 150 ppl talk about it to 150 ppl they know and they talk about it to other 150 ppl they know and so on. thats how good advertising works.

let it sink and think about what i wrote here.

You dont need to be a special rank (or in this suggestion, Tag) to advertising,
There are a bunch Player, Staff and Supporter doing this without bragging about it,
Admin had host couple times events for making advertising video too,

so my opinion is every player can do this advertising w/o need to join some of rank.
