Does the game advertise itself at all?

I'm just saying that maybe in order to increase the game's playerbase it should be advertised more through the net or something. I really don't know if it is already being done. But if it is, i don't see it. The FB page is utter junk the way i saw it. I'm sure there are more ways to advertise a game as cool as this. I found a link to this through some random wiki article and nobody around these parts has even heard of it (not that people around here play much MMOs either). So maybe it's better if decent advertising is done to attract more players.

Yeah we're working on it assassinsat, but we have other issues and until R6 is released we're refraining a little due to these issues that affect a lot of people.

Installation is also an issue atm and we want to make sure we have high(er) retention than if we advertise right now

ah got it. Yeah im sure that takes quite a bit of work. I'd never understand how this game manages to run itself smoothly and update itself at the same time with such a small number of people working on it compared to other games. Great job there i guess.

Well, last year we were in Penny Arcade:

And recently in The Escapist Magazine

There was a marketing team lead by SaiSoma last year, but a lot of the new stuff, including the new installer, wasn't ready then yet.

Unfortunately their are no Asian servers, so you will feel the lag bite from the Euro or NA server. We do have Aussies that play and play well.

Too bad no one linked the championship game there, Cable's fraps wasn't loading for me so I don't know how that was and Sai's commentary was very newbie friendly.

Edit: They are both website 'magazines' to answer your first question.

The Asian internet is like a different world.

I have tried to advertise by posting on other forums, but most block the link says "no game ads".
