BR and PL OT-forums/communitys are thriving and growing, while "we" really are not.. the english-speaking OT-fans need this or we will never recover..
Polish community and especially forums are not thriving. They are either already dead or they are in quasi-catatonic state, waiting for Polish parliament to pass euthanasia bill so someone could ease their pain…
And yes, You’ll never recover. Without taking OTClient and upgrading it into more modern standards of gaming, this site will be dead within years. Old users are growing out of games, especially older games like Tibia, and new people will not even touch it. There is any sociological solutions to that problem. Any social media, any advertising campaign, nothing. You must take OTC, distance yourself from backward Tibia and appeal to people who are used to more modern standards. That’s it.
Face it, the era of forum-driven OT communities is OVER. Even more… Tibia is dying, thus OT is dying.
More about that “polish community”:
Most of the intelligent Polish players left the community long time ago. Most polish forums died out between 2008 and 2011. The people who left there were horny and stupid kids/teenagers who couldn’t “sustain” any reasonable conversation. They only knew how to post yet another portion of uninteresting pics from repetitive hunts that wasn’t generating traffic anymore or how to insult each other when there was slightly sign of disagreement between them. Basically that “community” became toxic.
Most Poles who play OT are either completely uninterested in contributing or being part of any community or are just retarded kids who’s balls didn’t drop yet and talking to them is complete waste of time.
seems that is to call new people to our forum, increase the comunication
Yeah
Good luck with focusing attention of possible new players when they just finished Witcher 3 few months ago, played a lot of Guild Wars 2 or Elder Scrolls Online, etc. xD
all BR and PL forums/communities are using FB 1000x more than "we"(english-speakers) are..
Like I said before, I sincerely doubt that there is any big polish OT community on FB. I was forced to use that goddamn awful FB for five years and I never found any OT community.
Exactly as Tarek pointed sharing personal info with some of people here is not a good idea.
Why not? It’s not like they can take loan in your name, right? I really dislike facebook for being bastion of political correctness bullshit and other left-winged myths, but I think that name/surname/picture instead of catchy nickname and avatar makes people behave slightly more mature and “responsible”.
For example OP would not run around the forum and talks about being university educated cartographer or something like this, when someone pointed out that his maps suck, because someone could always show to his RL friends his brave internet alterego and make fool out of him… xD
