What can we do to promote FF?

Let's brainstorm for the people who love FF, and can't really seem to enjoy tf2 after about 15 minutes. I'm not even thinking we can surpass tf2 right now as far as players right NOW, but we definetly need players for a new game to get it going. I played in TFC leagues for years and it didn't matter to me if there was 20 clans or 100+. It was just as fun either way, but you atleast need a broad group of clans atleast 20+.


What can we do as players to get more people to play Fortress Forever ?

I was thinking of making a facebook group for Fortress Forever. But there was one already made. It's pretty inactive and small member count.

But I think that would be a great medium for advertising. Post pics and videos of the game, and just talk positively about it there.

Facebook is HUGE everyone at my work uses it. My family my friends, my roommates. Pretty much everyone I know has a facebook account. It's to the point that if you don't have it you're the odd man out.

Why not try to utilize a gathering ground like this to promote it?

I still may start a group, this other group was created long before its release. The best way to promote it is to make videos and pictures to post, to show how colorfull the game is, and the videos to show the action.

Cheers,
Hammock

@scary FF should have a newb friendly atmosphere in many of the servers. Sure, we have a MUCH larger hardcore/league community, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't help out new players to circulate new blood. Hell, the dev;s have added MANY features to try and help people pick up the game.

As for advertising, you can always make some sweet videos

Yes i totally agree. FF has only just been released and i think at the moment, it is probably intimidating to newer players because of some strict servers rulings not to mention alot of ff players are likely to be ex-tfc.
Maybe some sort of training map could ease newbies into ff?

Let's make a copy of the TF2 video using FF! It'll rock!

Oh yeah, and we'd use some awesome music, not TF2 music >.>

I can help with the making if I get Window Movie Maker.

I'm sure almost everyone will disagree with that. We just need to check the attitudes and be nice to newbies so they keep playing and learn how to do everything
