Title: Server is dying
Post by: PvtMorph on May 25, 2016, 08:44:17 PM
As most of us know the server is not doing so well at the moment, why? no one knows.  I have just made a post to FrankieonPc inviting him to come play on the server and give us his verdict. Who knows is he will reply to me or come on the server. I don't know what else to do to help with the server numbers. If this works then good, if not at least we tried. Only time shall tell so fingers crossed.

As I see it, we have 3 problems


1/ Nobody knows the server/game is here

2/ 19 out of 20 people who find the server can't work out how to log in

3/ When they do get in, nobody is here, so they quickly leave again

Promoting on Steam and Youtube saw a massive change, with the server doing really well at certain times in the day. But as the promotion material drops off the "most recent" lists, it's as good as gone. It only takes a handful of new arrivals to move on and the server is empty at all the wrong times of the day again. And we're back to an empty server.

If we could constantly trickle promotional material, and spoon feed the instructions to get in, it would tick along great. The core game is awesome. I'm all out of energy for making more stuff though at the moment. Like, all out drained going to get league of legends style desperate drained  ;D

Hello guys. play a lot on your server . This morning I also received a warning for having publiccizzato your server on exil forum (i am mattew1 in exile forum, the admin have delete my post)
the problem is that you need to do more publicity to your server .. there are serious players of arma 2 who want a harder game.90% prefer to play easy and play in shit server .mgt  ,exo ecc ecc ecc  .you have a good base on which to start the game and make some changes . but if you do you will find out a few sick players like me who play xD . after this morning I advertised your server entered 3 or 4 player .. or at least we have tried because they were driven surely because he lacked something .. you have to say in order to make things easier as log . I for example use a3launcher - sorry for my bad englis.h I try to help you because I like this  game hard how your server

Thanks for your reply on the Exile forum Mattew!  You're correct in everything you say mate, and your English is great too  ;)  If you have any new ideas for where to promote, please let us know.  Are you and your mates capturing any Video or Screenshots?

hello guys. Vik!ngSail here. I really enjoy my time on the server. It's the best one I've ever played Exile on. Really love the hardcore and survival parts of it.

I've been extremely busy in the last few days. But I'd like to share my idea about the promotions and how to make the server more populated:

Promotion is definitely a good idea. But it comes at a cost. On the other hand, I found the server by searching for "DayZ Exile" in the ARMA3 Launcher.
The point is, famous players like Frankie have a huge audience. PvtMorph has a brilliant idea. But Frankie won't necessarily join here because his interest is not keep playing DayZ Exile or any mod. But to keep posting different materials and keep his channel big.

bUtT ;) don't panic! If you think it the other way: famous YouTubers/Twitch Streamers are free promotion for us! The only thing is you have to put good key words in the title of the server! And leaving comments in different YouTube channels!

Steam is NOT where most ARMA players get information from. Even the official BI forum is NOT the main source where they search for fun materials! YouTube is! Twitch is! And more!

Keep on the good work! Would like to see the cost for base gets a bit cheaper though. xDDD

main players are the server via a3launcher .. try to make more viedo possible and put them on youtube .. honestly I would change the name of the server . because the reader from outside only what does not really know what kind of server . for example at the beginning I was looking for the server with the word hardcore . survival really hard dayz etc
then you have found a way to resolve the matter of the players who can not get in? because it often happens and then get tired and do not enter their most
