A few posts have made note in the past month of the low number of players in game as of late. I must admit, I've been one of the ones missing for a bit due to work stress and a few new side games. Going to try playing a bit more now, and driving some RP events for new blood, and attempt to convert some of those WoW people out there I know to our world of RP excellence. I ask myself, what can we do to put more butts in the seats? How can we bring the awesomeness of Layo to others, and boost our party sizes?

Find all those friends you know out of game who used to play and bring them back. Czukay and Mangle are now finally showing up with weekly regularity, 2 members of Pooser and my Orlando crowd. Going to work on some of the PnPers at work and wean them off their WoW gaming and bring them here. I implore all others to do the same.

As for player events, I'm going to start scheduling a weekly hunt for monstrous and morally ambivalent characters based around our goblins. Chieftain Nonac, Shaman Grovel and our beastly Mangle will be grouping more often and we invite any who see us in game to send tells to get an in on our group. Once you go gobbo, you'll never go back! The dwarven Army needs to set aside some time for hunting as well, unite the clans on a giant killing, beer swilling frenzy!

And as for the evil supergroup brewing, you know who you are... evil council meetings and group CDQs eh? We must plot against Daniella's Justice League!

So send a tell to your long lost friend of yeasteryear! Dig up those old abandoned Install CD-keys and hand them off to PnPers or MMORPGers that you know in real life (that strange, unreal place with the burning orb in the sky). Initiate your brother, sister, son, daughter, granpapa! And let the dice roll.

See you in game.

As a representative of the Collective Dark Elven Houses, we refuse to lower ourselves to YOUR level of organization. You will come to us, and not the other way around. Regardless of that fact, our services are open should you require the skills beyond that of your own, for a price.

Hmm Not sure if this would help, but the last video that has been uploaded to youtube about layonara is almost a year old. Beside one about a dance that happened a month ago, and that has nothing to do with this server.

Maybe it could attract more older players of NWN to try our server if we put more videos and such out there? Maybe make some new posts in the RPG gaming forums on the web stuff like that. Generate an interest for the world as it is now, and keep the mmo as a nice to know, but not focused on those threads and videos. Not taking anything away from the mmo team, just that we need to publicize this server a bit more if we want more players around.

That last video doesn't even seem to be posted by someone of layo itself as the link in the tab brings to a free mmorpg/mmo gaming site. And the video doesn't even show the new tile sets and maps that have been introduced with v3. He's actually reposting a video that was launched on youtube in 2007 by the team.

Might be worth a try to make a newer video.
