I'm finding that's pretty hard to get people to follow a Refferal Link, and Register under it. I'm sure lots of people are finding this difficult to do as well. I would like to ask if there could be a "Vote" section on the site. There are lots of sites where users can vote for a game they are playing, and some game sites give them rewards for the votes. Maybe we could get 0.5 of a Refferal Point? It's not really a refferal, but it helps bring attention to the site.

What do you mean by "vote" for a game and how would it help the site grow? If it's something like favourite-ing or rating it, that doesn't exactly help the site grow; in fact, it kinda does the opposite with the whole referral thing.

 

People would be discouraged to try and get referrals if there were an easier way to get them. :P This kinda defeats the whole purpose of getting new users to the site and helping it grow. ;)

 

I do however, believe that the referral system is a little out-of-whack. 10 referrals for 100k? A referral isn't work 10k - it's worth a lot more. xD I think we'd all benefit with more reasonable prizes for the lower levels and perhaps lower the amount of referrals it takes for those really high top prizes. It makes the goals seem much more realistic, which will probably encourage others to start referring. :D

If you Google Directory of Games you can see a list of games that the users vote for. At the top of the list is a game that I play and vote for myself. There are tons of sites like DoG, and people go to these sites to see some of the best games. It's kinda like a game review, but instead of words telling the person if it's a good game or not, it's the registered users voting for the game everyday to keep it on the list. It's hard enough getting five people to use your link to register for a game, so of course getting a person to come by the Refferal Link would be one point while voting for the game would only be a fraction of a point. Maybe half or a fourth, something easy to calculate.

In my opinion, those websites are a desperate cry for low-budget websites to get recognized. I've voted on many of those websites and most of what I've seen were sites that are RPG or really unpopular with the m*censored*es, like Marapets or DragonSoldier. They just seem thrifty and I don't think Rescreatu would really benefit from putting itself on there. We already have plenty of attention on virtualpetlist.com since the owner here, Patrick, owns that as well and advertises Res every given moment. We get tons of sign ups every day. It's just a matter of keeping the users interested.

I guess, in short, what I'm trying to say is: We have no problem getting them here. It's keeping them interested in it that we need to work on.

Lol. Users Online has been at a constant high from before. It used to never get over 70-ish and now we're at 100+ each day. I'm sure if we had a log of how many users logged on each day it'd be about 300, but that' still drastically low from the total number of users we have actually signed up. xP

I don't really like the idea either , but yes the user online does scare me. Rescreatu is fun and different some people don't respect that though. Besides it's not even finished yet!
