Having googled risk online this site came first out of the search. It's not very much of a risk site however. Yes there are alot of good looking maps which are basically risk maps, but when looking to join a game there seems to be only games containing maps that have no resemblance to risk on offer. And settings that seem rather pointless to your average risk player.

I joined and thought it was a waste of time and had been misguided, but due to me having a little time on my hands I I thought I'd have another look. Having read the last few pages of this thread I can understand why there are alot of newcomers that don't stay. It's not really what it says on the tin!!

The Classic map has the exact same gameplay as the original risk map, and there are some similar geographical maps too. As a whole I'd call risk with a twist. How would you say it's not a risk site?

I just met an indie game developer at an expo, who had invented yet another Flash game version of Risk. I asked him how he likes this site, and he said he had never heard of it. is there anything we can do to at least publicize and promote ourselves more at least with other RIsk enthusiasts who are into online gaming? thanks.

Advertising has been an ongoing request for quite some time.

They hadn't been doing it because the retention ratio of people who came wasn't high enough to warrant spending the monies, but I believe recently that changed and its back to being advertised. At what level though, I dont know.

It's been a while since we saw a new map. Also, I still believe speed games need to be free; at lease one or a couple per day. People would try online risk for action. When you sign up and find out you have to wait for a whole day to get another turn, you will more likely get frustrated and never come back!

Maybe make the speed games free for the first week for newcomers. Some of them will probably get hooked and stay.

------I said before....Conquer Club could sell ads on maps. Like Snickers or Coke labels on say. The Europe bonus on the Classic Map. Cha-Ching ...and vice versa... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion).

Who is going to pay for an advert on one map out of ~300 on a dying site?

Aye P

I'd guess that so long a x% of people go ahead and buy premium, the fly by nighters won't be missed. Afterall when it comes to monies, I'm guessing the monies receiver would prefer 50% premium rate of 8,000 players than a 25% premium rate of 15,000, and then factor in whatever extra costs (if any) it might take to service twice as many players and games along with probably twice the e-tickets to respond to and twice the dice complaints.

Most people create another account illegally, and then fill it up until tomorrow, then another illegal account.
Then they get busted just when they start having fun and records get erased; then it's clear they should probably just buy a premium membership and binge that shizzle

agreed. I'm not a speedplayer myself, but there was a reason why I used to ONLY play freestyle back when I was a freemium newbie. Rapid satisfaction with faster running games.
People who do not figure out freestyle, or who are even less patient than I am, would just end up leaving.

I ended up leaving, myself, then happened to check my e-mail as I was expecting a message from my employer. I was told it was my turn in a game, thus I got back and found myself here. All happened by chance

Oh, thank you for the warm welcoming. I'd also appreciate it if someone could explain to me the concept of tribes, and what's the difference between them and clans?

good luck with that!! i've been seeking that info since before it was launched!!!-Jésus noir

[dakky21]

From what I understand, main difference is that new players (and bad players) can join a team which has no requirements. Older players who are already in clans, their clan is their tribe.

It's incentive to get new players try to play team games I believe.

I thought it was poly games. I may be wrong, but i Thought it was like a weekly or monthly leader board where the tribes win loss was tallied. I didnt get too deep into it, but thats what i got out of it the first little bit I read into it. At first I was kind of interested, but there seems to be little activity going on with it.

Hey Pirlo!
Welcome back If you ever have questions about Tribes you can contact Lindax anytime, who runs that section for us.
The basic concept is that it's a place where tribes and / or clans can compete in 1vs1 or poly auto tournaments or wars as a team, while clans continue to be centered around team games / wars & leagues.
A tribe is just another grouping of players similar to a clan, but focused on the 1vs1/poly stuff. A clan is its own tribe, so they can compete in traditional stuff or new tribe stuff with players within their clans.
Cheers,
IcePack

In the past two month (Jan - Feb) 600-700+ is pretty regular during the day. It dips to 300-500 at evening/night (CC Time). We broke 800 not to long ago (820?)
