22,000 views I have got from one idea,
This number is a rough guess of course, but its due to the hours of interviews I have been doing and the streams of content, plus this is spread over 4 TwitchTV channels and 5 YouTube channels but, its bringing new/old people back/into the game and PS2.
The idea is working. If you build it people will come and take a look, and also we are still in the early days. We are hoping to quadruple this before PS2 is in beta.
But we can only try our best, in fact we have already beaten our expectations by random people on the stream looking into PS2 more because of us streaming and having a bit chat about it. this is what we set out to do, to get one person involved in Ps/PS2 and we have, so anything more is just a massive plus!
Planetside 247 Twitch TV = 5,371/35 been going for 2 months. 1000's of views on the YouTube channels to. And we are still just testing the streams.
Also its fun to talk about the ideas, but you have to get stuck into them, just like I do around here, I know some of my post seem crazy, but when you post as much as me, and contribute as much as I do, then you will have shit days. But joining in with other peoples ideas, and keeping them all linked together, so "we" as a community grow.. along with the game.
The Startcraft community is very good at this, regardless of what they do, they help and promote each other a lot, and openly support projects.
Also the reason why I created Planetside 247 was for this purpose alone. The whole idea was based on the fact Planetside 1 was under advertised, of course I was around in the first few years of Planetside, so I know how bad it was. Ok if Planetside 2 is promoted good, then we have nothing to worry about, but we can only do good, adding more and more folks to the fight.
If you cant help a project then say nothing! There is far to much of this on these forums, creative criticism is fine, but if you have no intentions in joining in the keep your mouth shut and let the idea unfold/die naturally.
But..... if you can help/join in...... then fucking go for it, join in with one of the projects here at PSU or even start your own, and lets make this game a world wide success, help a project out, doesn't have to be 247, or even the AGN, just look on the forums there are loads of things we can get our teeth into. Fuck me 247 is only doing so well due to the input of community members, and it started here at PSU.
Another idea is not to go over the top, don't start anything that is to big, it will die a death and so will you probably before the idea is even finished. Take something on you can handle or get folks to help you out. Me and Ripfang from the Blue Lions outfit where talking about this last night just after another interview. 247 is getting to big for me, as I am self employed and work long hours. So I will be calling for help, don't be afraid to do that too, I asked Xytech to help with the logos for 247 and bam! they have been copied on the internet 1000's of times!
Just ank for help if you need it. You never know
Anyway there's my £1 worth.
Morto.
