[I]Announce the servers' ips on the main LW page
« on: July 30, 2010, 02:41:32 PM »
I make this suggestion after the discussion there has been in the third page of this thread: some people like Reny say that the server is empty because of the port change, whereas Roach says that if the server were good enough, people would search for it. Well, actually the problem with the searchs is not people not searching due to lack of interest, but people searching and not finding due to lack of information: when you know a server's name (like LVP, Partyserver or GamerX), you only have to Google it, browse its homepage and you have the ip there, however with LW it's not that way.
  • A summary of the changes that you want: LW servers' ips clearly announced on LW homepage.
  • The advantages of this change happening: People wanting to join LW but not knowing its ip, now would be able to do it = MORE PLAYERS. Also, implementing that on the web page would be really easy and could be done in a moment, and it's logical to announce the ips of your servers.
  • The disadvantages of this change happening: ABSOLUTELY NONE.

I haden't seen that, and you can be sure that as me, many other people visiting this page. HIDING the ip inside a thread that is between hundreds of more threads, is not the best example of visibility...
It should be on top of the homepage.

Fuck off Scott, why HIDE the ips in that labyrinth? do you really think everyone is gonna DIVE in such a mess?? it's absolutely NO EFFORT to add this to the page. And then people cry because the server is empty...

Look and learn from the competence:

For fuck sake Gryphus is right here, the server ip is the first thing that visitors should see (except the name of course).

It may be done this way for example:







I have done it just by saving a copy of the page in my computer and modifying it with Notepad, it has been really easy, even a one year old baby would be able to do it (but Benny wouldn't ;D )

Ohh I forgot this: there's another good reason to do this: we all know that the rules agreement dialog that appears when you join the server with an unregistered nick, is making many players be kicked and not relog again. Well, if all those new players that are kicked by the rules agreement, are lazy enough to not reconnect, do you really think they are gonna search the ip among all those random threads?? If so many people admits the rules agreement dialog is a problem and agree in removing it, why shouldn't we do this too??
