Promotion is proving abysmally hard. People just aren't as willing to download a modpack in order to log in to a server versus a vanilla server where all they'll need is the IP. So, I've never been good at this sort of thing. The marketing bit. I need your guys' help. Kick some of the topics on Minecraftforums or planetminecraft. Promote to your friends. I don't know. I just don't know what to do here. Thread on MinecraftForum.netThe only good idea I had was to record a video of the server, but I ran into a very simple but very annoying snag. I can record great resolution at 30 FPS, but the one mod that would allow for some clean, crisp clips isn't updated to 1.7.10. You can find it here. So, unless anyone has suggestions for workarounds, I'm stumped. Also, when I record, I'd like to get some shots with you guys doing stuff in them. Fighting Xerox, walking down the road, fighting each other, using the rails, etc. etc. The only other good idea I thought of was to maybe put together a mini wiki or a thread where anyone interested in the server could scroll through screenshots and descriptions highlighting some of the most interesting thing about the server. I started kind of doing that with the "Complete List of Dungeons and Quests" thread, but that's not exactly a tour of the server. So, we need to think and drump up some ideas or this server is gonna stay very lonely until we do.

AT Launcher is maybe also a way to get the server promoted, recently discoverd it and many many servers are in there, its hard to really promote a server but we shall try before we die A short video battleing some mobs (boss) is a good idea, i'm up for the challenge We really need some more people in here!!!

Right, sorry! I've been kinda invisible on the internet lately, seeing as I'm filling out all my college applications... But I'll see what I can do from here until I can find some more time! I definitely want to promote the server now that we're done reconstructing!

Just wanted to say I started adding our server to server lists. Feel free to do the same if you want using the banners in my sig.

I'm holding off on doing any advertising until the server's a little more stable and some more bugs have been ironed out.
