Okay guys, I enjoyed playing this game for awhile, but the problem everyone seems to be facing these days is a lack of active players. It isn't anyone's fault, it's just hard to find new members for these games when there is so much competition.

While the server is down, you guys might want to think about advertising your game in some new ways. Of course, I cannot really say you are not advertising vigorously because I do not know where and how frequently you mention Chaos Theory.

I'll lay out a few of my suggestions:
- First of all, make a video to represent your game. Some sample clips of movement and battles (with other players around) will work. If you don't have other players around, get some of your staff to make new accounts and fight with you or against you (shows activity). A video always attracts the bored gamer who wants something a little different, and if made well, can increase traffic to your game ten fold.
- You also need to make sure your game is error free. With a setup program made, I think you have that covered (at least for stray ActiveX problems and the like).
- Personally talk with the players. Rather than always appearing distant and professional, try to be a little more personal while still giving off the appearance of authority (you don't want members to think your game is a joke). I think you guys are very personable with your members, but you may act a little too goofy (not that much of a problem right now).
- Screenshots are also a plus when advertising. If you have unique gameplay due to scripts, you can flaunt it to attract new gamers as well.

My key point to make here above all else is to branch out where you advertise. Attempt dozens of websites that allow games to advertise themselves. Most of your members will come from word of mouth, but you need to get some starting members to spread your game around.

Anyway, that's my spill about how to get some new members. Whether you guys want to listen to this or not is up to you. I'm not being judgmental of your game and the work you have put into it; I have just seen many games like this disappear because the total members playing is very low (and eventually becomes zero).

Very well said.
Ive tried advertising on Freeonlinegames, which, as far as I know, is pretty much the most popular game site in the world. Unfortunatly, a game thats got basicly no unique scripts and therefore is pretty much just a load of blocks with people moving around, wasnt good enough and didnt get through.
I also took a look at google Advertising, but I really dont want to pay that much for a game that Im just playing (sorry guys)

-sigh- (Btw im back from puerto rico ^^) Well, Im not crazy computer genius savvy. So I probably could not make the best video. And weve done most of the rest, whenever i recruit someone to the game, i completely talk to them personally. We just need more advertising sites or whatever.
