Late night (for most) Alleg

It really is horrid.

Any way to promote the game more in Asian and basically Southern Hemisphere timezones?

I know I found this game on a PC magazine as a free game and fell in love with it ever since.

Perhaps gaming forums, technology forums etc catering to the geographies where "late night" alleg is their peaktime.

I'm not a huge gamer so any ideas would be great to reach the right audience.

Just hoping for this thread to be an avenue for ideas to promote the game more in Asia / Pacific / Australia / New Zealand and anywhere that is considered "late night" for the majority of Americans and Europeans that play this game.

I play in that timezone occasionally and it's not always horrible. But yeah, it tends to be pretty bad. That timeslot needs a stern @alleg or two, I think.

A high quality server in Asia would also help a good bit I think.

And before you say, "the last thing we need is another server", IF said server brought in a few hundred new players, 20 to 30 of which were on frequently during local 'prime time', it would be self sustaining.

I know for me if I log in and the lag is bad I simply just don't play that evening. 500+ lag games are just not fun.

Ive tried... and the games are generally full of lower quality players and lesser quantities.

As I posted a few weeks ago, there's a tons players joining allegiance at late night, probably a lot more than on americas' prime time. The problem is that they never stay long enough to become vets.

might have had to do with hellenus' 25+ rank, among others

really now??? so before i played this game (pre jan 07) there were a ton of new people that "stayed" and of course why we have so many playing at this time.....of course not.. go troll elsewhere evincar.

fact is this game has always been more established amongst Europeans and Americans and has nothing to do with helo ranks.. in fact how many low vet inter ranks just imbalance the game by killing 3 miners in 5 mins causing a quick resign as happens here due to the low number of players.

PLEASE let's keep this thread on track with ideas to promote the retention and promotion of players who can mainly play in these timezones only

Yes and I'm hoping we can turn late night alleg into a "primetime" for those who can only play/are in these timezones.

Part of this is the squad game timing as well. I basically have to wake up 4am or 5am on a Monday morning just to play a squad game. I'm sure it doesn't exactly encourage the retention of players in these timezones.

well, a couple months before jan 07' r3 saw daylight, only people who knew what they were looking for cared to get a pc ready for it
