Trying to bring my game community to FF

Eon Seig · 02-04-2010, 11:33 PM

I am a migrant from TF2 and I am trying to convince the gaming group I affiliate with to experiment with FF, possibly setting up a server here.

We are 3 Point Games, and the community is often highly active. 3-PG is not a clan and is open to anyone who wishes to frequent their servers or contribute to their community. 3-PG is full of players who love fast play, and the TF2 3-PG servers are highly modified to make play faster.

I think that the 3-PG community will enjoy FF because of this, but my initial attempt at gaining some interest only brought in one frequent community member (he loved the game as soon as he started playing).

Does anyone have some advice on how I get 3-PG into this game? I feel it can only improve the pub scene for FF. I am certain that many of the frequent 3-PG players will enjoy FF's fast play and deep movement skills. Getting some regulars into the servers a few times a week can only proliferate into a respectable player base. I'm just not sure how to go about introducing the game to them.

You could try showing them some of the youtube videos floating around out there. Unless you are loaded, I wouldn't advise offering them money.

The video on the FF homepage is one of the best in my opinion, just link them there. if they like it the download link is directly below that!

yep, that and have the spec some of the pickups...if they like fast paced gaming, that's going to be the best representation of the game they will find.

Other than that, just invite them to a server, honestly I would say NOT [o-t]'s simply b/c the player base there is going to be more newb and it's less of a fast paced server. I don't say that to attack them, I like the [o-t] guys, I just see them more for the casual gamer than anything.

Has anybody actually ever persuaded a bunch of their friends/clanmates to commit to FF? I certainly havent been able to do it. It would be a good case study to see how, if any, groups migrated over.

I got 6 people i know personally to try it. 2 of them hated it, 1 of them played it for about a week before moving on, 3 others liked it while playing but never played it again without me playing with them.
