Hello,
Today I'm here because I want the game to go further and to have more players. So, with this, I'll start with the main points and then i'll go to side points.
I know, you admin, will have to put some money on it to make something like this but sooner or later, you'll get the money back if you use well the cards you have (I'll give some ideas about this on the 4th point named as "Money Making").
Once the game is on " Steam ", the real advertisement must start. You might be able to create some new roles with people of your trust to help you on this. I suggest to start the advertisement on social media. Create a Instagram Page and a Twitter. There are many methods to share your own game through the main social medias.
First of all, you can look into different games or similar games for people that seem to be interested on those games and with a good speech / a good text to advertise, you might be able to conquer those.
Second of all, on instagram you have the #hashtags. This is a very simple method to get your instagram page and the game known. By using the right words on the hashtags you'll now be able to find some new public for sure.
Third of all, what kind of public are we aiming at? Children? Teens? Adults? Elders? The advertisement should be adapted for the public that we're aiming at. So, using social medias, you can for example, follow and speak who liked other games. Now you might be asking, "why would I do such thing?" Well, here's my answer: By following or speaking to people who gave likes on other stuff of other games, you'll make them go into your on page. On your page you will need to have a well structured feed and information so that It really looks professional in order to be catchy. Also, by trying to interact with possible future players, you'll be able to get them. You can have a nice chat with them and on the end you can tell something like "well, i must go to work (or something else). Download PKO so that we play tomorrow or when both us can
"
Fourth of all but not least... Waste some money to get advertisements on some websites. This one might be kinda expensive, so for me this would be a last resource.
When advertising, we must have good designs, good editions, videos etc. etc. even if you don't want to pay for a professional, I'm sure that there's a lot of people on the game that would be willing to help on this kind of stuff and they could also get a role like "Designer" , "Movie Maker"
Also, if you know ex-players (old players), challenge them to come back and try to make something else, something new (suggestions about this kind of stuff will be below, on the next point)
Now, in order to get more people online, there are a bunch of things that we can do. This is (in my opinion) quite useless to do if there's no marketing (I'm speaking about what I will say soon and you'll understand why).
First of all, create Happy Hours where double exp happen (It's happening already the Hexa but this is only getting the same players we had always, isn't it? They might create new accounts themselves and give a look of new players coming). We could do different types of Happy Hours. Now, you're asking "What types are you thinking about?" Well, double-drop. Instead of a monster dropping the same amount of items, they would get like the double. Also, on those Happy Hours, something different could happen. Like what? Well, I've never won money by killing monsters. On this Special Event, we could get a significant amount of money by farming players. The money would increase by the level of the monster or by being a boss or not etc. etc..
Second of all, another type of Special Event where all type of players are free to join. Now, you're probably asking, "What is the event that you're thinking about?" Well, in order to make things fair for everyone and to make sure that everyone can really participate, these type of events should be scheduled in advance. The kind of event that I could be thinking is made by levels and by classes to make it fair. A cleric won't be able to do the same as crusader... keep that in mind (we'll go to this point soon) and we could make some farming event, some type of objects collecting event, Special Quests events, etc etc.. With this, there could be a significant reward that could make everyone satisfied. Could be items, money, gears... etc. etc..
How would the levels be like? (I'll give the example according to Port Royal levels)
Level 1 - 5;
Level 6 - 10;
...
A time limit should be given and at the end of the time limit (there should be a way to apply this with coding, I'm not the expert on it, sorry) where the winners of their category win the reward.
If these suggestions are looking fine, i'll be willing to one day think and suggest different types of events.
Third Point, make new classes, new characters, different types of hair, eyes. Having always the same type of stuff for years might get tiring for some players after some time. I'm sure that It's not too difficult to make this since there's always prototype model for each aspects. At least, when I played other games we had this when we wanted to add a new hair, I'm quite sure this isn't different here.
Also, there's something I noticed, not all the characters are able to have all the classes and I wonder why. Why can't a female character be a crusader? Or why can't a male character be a cleric? Think about this one, I think that It's not a bad thought.
Since we're speaking about "creating", making new maps (again, there should probably be some prototype models) and according to what the players seem to like or they want to see or through possible polls, maps and new monsters can be done. Same goes to NPCs and missions and so on. Right now, I don't have much more to say about this point since I haven't explored the game the enough yet.
The First Point I would like to speak and It seems a really cool idea is to create the Very Important Person (VIP) System/Club. Now, to use this kind of System/Club whatever you want to call it (or possibly rename it) you have to take into consideration a lot of different points, ok? This is a nice method to get money and It'll be useful for the players. I have made part as a moderator from some communities and from some games and most of them had this system and in fact I actually created this system for another game with my old friend. Now, I'll stop speaking and I'll go direct to the point.
What can the VIP System give to a player?
1 - By Paying to have a VIP you'll get access to some Rum (the amount of rum will be decided to you and It also depends on the price of the VIP).
2 - By being a VIP when you buy Rum you will also get 5-10% more Rums than a normal player would get.
3 - VIP members should be able to have different hairstyles and gears however when the VIP time ends (The minimum time for VIP should be 15 days or 30 days, I personally suggest 30 days) the hairstyles and the gears disappear. For the hairstyle, I suggest to give those players their previous hairstyles. Simple as that.
4 - VIPs should have a separated role on discord and different color on the name (website) so that they can get a highlight. Speaking about that, In-Game they could also have something next to their name saying "VIP" (when I say VIP, It can really be a different name, It's up to the owner, not to me).
5 - They are VIPs so they should have more stuff than the others, as obvious... So, the idea on this point is (I'll speak about Port Royal's System since i'm playing there) if a player normally gets 1% experience (default) the VIP players could get 1.2%. Ok, It's not too much than the others but It's still a big help (and this should really be discussed, I just send the idea out, It doesn't really need to be like I said).
6 - Special Missions just for the VIP where they can get Special Items that some players wouldn't get.
7 - Players should be able to afford VIP by a big amount of Rum, so if someone has Rum enough and doesn't want to buy VIP with cash, they have this possibility however by doing such thing, we would have literally to change the prices that are being given right now to Rum.
I'll stop the ideas for now... If this seems good for you, we can discuss about more stuff for the VIP System/Club later. A lot of things can be done.
Second Point, we are on the new internet's era. Nowadays, a lot of games already have their own twitch... Where's Pirate King Online at the twitch? They're not. Simple as that.
By having a Twitch channel you're able to get donations and subscriptions. Those things give money. Now, It's up to you how you manage the Twitch, not to me. I can give some ideas.
When doing events or preparing some stuff, you could be streaming that maybe... You could ask some known players here to be streaming for the channel, I'm sure someone is their fan and will watch and so on.
For a future time, you can speak with smaller twitchers to join the game and to go into your account and stream and they speak with their viewers and they'll eventually come and sooner or later with some bigger twitchers.
When doing this kind of stuff, you don't have always to waste money, you can make a fair trade where both sides win. With small twitchers, they have much to win. Look at the numbers of this game, users etc. etc. and look at their numbers. If they join your twitch, they'll eventually get known and you can also share them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. etc. send a message in-game and that is a way to make a trade for example, both sides win.
Third and Last Point (since i'm going out of ideas right now, because I didn't write my ideas, I was writing and typing as soon as my ideas were coming to my mind) you could create a separated tab on the forum called "ONLY ADS". On that page named as ONLY ADS, you can surely win money, because there will be people who would pay to have their won website advertisement or even other stuff. The idea seems to be there, the problem is that the ADS on that separated page might have ads with virus... and I'm not sure if that's really good but you can hide that page from forum's users and still have the ads there. I don't know if this seems good for you.
Well, for now this is all I have and later if you enjoyed, I can suggest more.
I did the best I could and I suggested the best I could...
