Aww, I missed another one. I've got to give up on the open beta stuff once in a while, I guess.

Just a super looking piece - congrats!!

Nice stuff, Eddy!

Let me also add that we're having a local comic convention next month here. The first one we did I had my laptop there showing people the game. But I didn't have any codes or disks to give them.

I understand that you all cannot attend more than a few conventions a year, but there are those of us that would be happy to be a surrogate recruiter or whatever, just to help get more interest in the game.

Perhaps something like a contact that convention organizers can contact to request a poster or two and some relatively updated bootleg disks would be an idea? You all could be there without actually having to be there, if we could get some stuff like that and be able to show off the game, or let people play it on a mock convention account for a while.

Even just the character creator/costume thing might be enough for some people.

Welcome to the forums in your official capacity, BP!


While I agree that tv advertising is expensive, there are perhaps ways to get some product placement in some shows that generally cater to the type of people that would play this game. Like Big Bang Theory. I figure there's someone on the production staff that likes the game, so you'll occasionally see CoH stuff briefly in the show's episodes. That can be a great ad for the game, as long as people have a way to link it with the game, and then can follow up and get the game easily. Free trial codes on their web site, more stuff with G4 beyond the rare review, and so forth - all would be nice.

I think that a place like Hulu is a good source for cheaper advertising. The ads aren't overly intrusive and with just the one in a row, you're less likely to skip it. Get in the rotation for some shows that most of us would watch and so forth.

I don't envy your position, and I hope things work out well for getting more interest in the game.

Thanks, all - I think I'm going for one of those Samsungs - would be nice to find a place with both I could look at side by side, but that probably won't happen. The local Best Buy doesn't have any of the keyboards on my short list, so I'll have to see what happens there.

Another great vid!!

Lucky guy - got to the Playboy Mansion around Easter! (about 43 seconds in).

Very cool, Braxx! Hope to see more stuff!

Make sure you clean the vents out from time to time. I've found with my high-end laptop that it tends to run pretty hot, as well. I purchased a laptop cooling pad/stand for my laptop, and it's helped a lot.

Those are looking nice - keep plugging along, and keep up the good work!!

Looking good! I like seeing these production phases.
