Finally Some News

Postby rdsrds2120 on Mon Feb 04, 2013 12:57 am

Good evening Conquer Club,

Tonight I'm bringing you a bunch of news on some great updates in the midst! So, here's what was on the table for tonight:

  1. Adsense
  2. Free Speed Games for Free Members (details coming)
  3. New Medals (details coming)

Initially, all three of these were to be released tonight, but some last minute testing shown that items 2 & 3 weren't ready for user consumption just yet, and they will be released within the next week or so (could be tomorrow, could be a week! Either way, it will be soon). So, let's break down the first order of business:

Item 1: AdSense
==================
Business is business, and part of business for CC now is to add contextual ads to Game Pages of Free Members only. They're not too outlandish (I promise!) and will help things to come. Now that the bad news is out of the way, let's get to something good:




Item 2: Free Speed Games
=============================
Starting soon (an announcement will be made), Free Members will be able to play a certain number of speed games per month, free of charge, based off an Admin-edited version of Koronna's Suggestion :D




Item 3: New Medals
=====================
As some of you had seen, a couple days ago I had leaked some new medals in the CC Rumor Mill:

    ImageImage

I will now confirm that there have been overall raises on the limits of medals for each of the following categories:
  • Tournament Achievement
  • Clan Achievement
  • Tournament Contribution
  • Map Contribution
and that we will be releasing this line of medals in a short time to come ;):
    Image
I'll let you know that the ratings medal will be achieved at 1500. Are you ready?!? I'm not even close! :D



Some Other Stuff:
====================

I'll also be posting a huge list of bugs and other known errors that have been fixed that may have slipped under your nose. There's a lot more man-hours being put into ConquerClub now with more people on board for changes, and I can't wait to share them with you! Keep watching out for updates and posts from me, who knows what we'll be rolling out next :P!

Very good and sensible changes. Hopefully they will all result in larger CC player base and better support for CC.

Great job! I checked and I don't think the ads are too bad. I can't wait to see how offering free speed game for free players affects the percentage of new recruits that stick around.

Can someone get a screen grab of these ads? Just curious to see one of them and how intrusive they are.

1500?? why set it at an almost impossible mark.. so 20-100-400-1500... I thought that more logically it would be 1000 or 1200.. and is it 200 for crossmap?

:o :o :lol: when I stated in the rumor mill that they were going to expand the medals beyond gold over a year ago,I had nothing. I was completely making it up :lol: I just hope the number is not to high for these medals,that it does not take years to achieve them. The progression of 20 100 400 800 1200 and so on.Makes the most sense to me.Nice job though.

20, 100, 400, 1200, 2400 makes more sense

it is bronze x5, x4, x3, x2

The ads are fine. I'm actually surprised that you didn't add them a couple years ago. I'm looking forward to playing some speed games. Thank you.

you can't do multiples forever. at the end of the day we're talking about unique opponents, and getting new unique opponents gets harder and harder.
1500 I'm not even gonna bother trying when I see the hard work it is for gold and it's not even a third of the new requirement. only the crossmap at 200 would be an interesting challenge.

The medals are super high for a reason -- to truly reward the longevity players. They're not supposed to be easily farmed, and filling out your profile with those medals would be truly, truly fantastic! Players with those medals would be known as the cream of the crop for the respective setting. :)

no one will ever get the teammate medal for example, or maybe in 10 years time and I doubt anyone will be consistent on the site for another 10 years.
Also you haven't revealed the info for the crossmap, is it 200 indeed?

Yes, crossmap next level is 200. We can look into changing the scales for the teammate medal overall, since it is ostensibly harder to get that medal than the others.

I agree with this view. Set the bar high - it may take some time but for people that were out of medals to obtain - at least now they have something to keep them busy for a (long) while!
