So basically, I am going to make a new promo... but the problem I always have is finding the content to showcase within the promo. I was basically wondering if you guys could give me ideas of what might draw you to Runerebels if you were a newcomer and happened to stumble across the video somewhere. :)
30-60 seconds, varying cuts of the coolest points of each skill (example steel dragons, or farming herbs), show the current quests, show Zanaris if it's added before the vid gets out. And mention the smaller closer community, which is why I play this and not the oldschool version. :>
Show that when you join you are a member and thats its free to play
Adding onto J u s t i n's idea, show that you can't buy your way to the top with real life money. We don't even have an in game donor rank. Everyone is treated equally.
Also, nice to see you again weirdo. :)
Best of luck with it! ;D
I don't think it's the time for a promo. Too much important content that isn't released yet.

There is plenty of things to put in the promo. I just have to get creative.

Well, that is the point but from others have done already in terms of promos, there really isn't anything else to showcase. We need more quests, important ones at that and more minigames. If I was a person looking for a new server to play, the least important thing I want to see is skills working properly because that's like a requirement that every remake should have. The only skill that would be of interest is agility because most remakes don't have it implemented correctly.

Only two have been made, and I barely showed anything in the first one that I made. The second one is boring as turds where she runs through quests which I would never do. I am trying to attract players, not bore them. There are many ways. I just got to think about it more.
Boring as turds? I worked hard on that promo. If you think you can make a better promo, by all means, please do, but don't come in here criticizing someone else's hard work and calling it boring. Keep your opinions to yourself because nobody cares about them and it's hurtful to the feelings of the creator of the promo vid. Constructive criticism is good, ranting is always immature and hurtful. Anyways, good luck on the new promo vid. I'm sure it will turn out better than mine. Maybe wait a few more weeks until more content is released though. ;D

Nothing was directed at you for my comment on the entertainment level of the promo. It just isn't fun to watch. You have to throw something at them that excites them. Anyways thanks for the wishes.
stick to the topic please
Had a delay on the promo. I ended finding a template for a promo that will work great, but it will cost me $38 roughly so I am waiting for money to go from my bank to my PayPal. Should have the template and music by wednesday. Then I will record gameplay and decide what else to put in it. :D
Oh by the way, mention the sounds work. Last private server I was on had almost no sounds that worked, lol

Thanks for the idea. Most servers indeed do not have sounds and music. Thanks! :D
Everything is ready to go. I will start recording stuff until Friday and then I will take off for the weekend. :D
Ok, so I have all the text holders filled. Now the problem I am having is the media. Any suggestions?

I thought this was for you to be creative, not get others to be creative for you. There are plenty of features for a new promo.

Just because I am asking for advice, doesn't mean I can't get creative. There is a difference from asking for suggestions to demanding suggestions. If there are plenty of new features, feel free to list them so I may cover them. I don't know everything about the server like you may.

Everyone's going to suggest the same thing. There isn't enough content for you to grab many players at this time.

You just contradicted your last statement. Make up your mind Mr. developer.

Me saying there is plenty of content was the joke because you said there is enough to get creative.
I personally suggest waiting till after this next patch for the video because we will be releasing something no other remake has ever successfully done before ;)

MKAY
Well I still have 4 media spots open and I'm having problems on finding stuff to fill it with. Already have a recording of a genie popping up and part of tutorial island. I will most likely wait for the next patch.
Now is not the time for a new promo considering 2.1.0 is supposed to be coming out in the next week or so. Wait until then and you will have all the content you need.
Also this:

Amazing! It should be on the homepage!
My honest opinion; Again, there's really nothing creative about your video that sets it apart from any other. It's repetitive and you can hardly see the media. If I was a new player, the promo wouldn't do me much good. If you've ever noticed why I've never posted on a promo/trailer video, none have impressed me as a player. Our strengths aren't very visual right now. You and I's expectations are higher than what we've seen so far. My opinion is the same as your on Alectrona's promo thread. Others can say whatever they want. Most of the time, when I see people say, "Oh, amazing trailer", I think they're full of it. (Not Prayer tho)

Its a 2006 remake. There is never going to be unique content. This is the best theres going to be. Strengths are NEVER going to be visual. All of this and better has been seen on the real game. Don't really get your opinions.

Can't really see any of the clips TBH. Be better to have an intro and just play the clips normally. :o

Always will be complaints. This is the most effective way of having promos. I have tested that with other servers and promos i made.
I like this promo. Its more trailerish than the last one.
The in-game clips could've been a tad longer tho, you barely see them.
Wut. I woke up today and we didn't wait until the new patches? And why is it more text than gameplay in there? D:

I actually like this this promo - look forward to seeing it on the front page soon :)
Here's a tip for you, Riipiin, in regards to the fuzzy examples. Write a filter to enlarge and sharpen the 640x480, and a filter to salvage the smaller size of the recording rip in effect of a smaller size for the video. If done right, you could manage the video quality. Bit rate is also important, and you may be sacrificing recording quality.

I don't think the problem is that the quality is bad, because its not. Its just the size. :L If I had the time to rerender it and adjust the size of the media I would, I just don't have another 21 hours to waist on my computer for it render. Thats a lot of processing power for the graphics card I have because its shit.
