hello citizens of dalaran,

we have prepared the next step of our advertising campaign in which you play the most important role. it is a viral system which consists basically on to advertise dalaran-wow with a concrete material and information we will provide.

of course, everyone who participates and achieves the minimum requirement by following strictly the rules, will be rewarded with donation points.

i will proceed to explain in detail the rules and conditions.

what is it exactly and how can i participate?

the basic idea is very simple: to post in sites (forums, blogs, websites, etc ...) the following image and below it, the set of links (please, use the proper format with links):

presentation.jpg

-dalaran-wow official trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tah71hi4tju
-media from our community (screenshots and videos): http://www.dalaran-wow.com/media/
-latest fixes - changelog: http://www.dalaran-wow.com/changelog
-facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dalaran-wow
-youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/dalaran-wowcommunity

if the site in which you wish to post does not allow the publication of images, you must manually copy the text included on the image with fancy format.

what rules and restrictions exist?

-you cannot publish on a site where dalaran wow has already been publicized. each site must be unique.

-of course, it is strictly forbidden to do it on other private server forums or comment in their advertising posts, facebook, videos...etc. please do not mess up our image, we would never support this.

-you must respect the rules of the website on which you are going to post.
-you can not use or create facebook pages, is completely excluded from this campaign.

how should i notify you the places where i am posting?

you must create a reply on this thread with the links to those sites where you wrote. if you have more and want to notify them, edit and add them to the reply indicating the date of the publication.

what is the minimum and what conditions there exist?

whoever posts at least 10 unique posts will get 15 donation points (if you post 20 you will get 30 dp, and so on). if you do not get the minimum, you will not be rewarded with those dp.

the player who publish more posts, will receive 82 donation points. if more than 30 people take part and everyone publish at least one post, all the participants will receive one dp per post, and the correspondant account upgrade into premium (if you are not yet).

this campaign will be active until december 20th.

this way those who participate will receive their reward for donating their time and effort.

thank you, we hope you enjoy it and ... let's conquer the internet.

Question: Do we only post the image or also the links that you linked in this post?

What about forums which you can not see unless you are registered?
Is it enough if I just post an image of my post in that case?

Hello,

Please, stick to the rules and post just on those sites where their Rules allow you to Post about Private Servers.

Alcibiades, the rewards will be given on December 20th, except those who achieve to gather 10 (20, 30...etc) valid links.

Also, please remember that if there are some sites repeated, we will consider just the first one. And of course, do not spam on the same places, you can easily hurt our image, I strongly recommend you to read the lists already posted by other players.

Thank you very much.

Would it be possible to require people to type the domain of the link clearly? It's really hard to look through URLS to figure out what people have posted so far.

Just press Ctrl+F and type in the URL of the domain.
You can then easily scroll through all the posts and check if there are any highlighted words in one of the URLs / URL texts.

It can be quite unfair, some post 20 links or such, almost disabling others to post too...

Hello there,

Tomorrow sunday we will check which of all those links are still alive and we will edit your posts writing the status of each one.

There will be a Donation Points flush for those who have posted 10/20 clean links.

Remember, the site must be related with gamming and of course, you cannot break their rules, this could hurt our image.

Thank you very much for such participation, we are really gratefull.

Hello,
its a very good idea, I would also suggest that it would be really great for the server if you also post a personal, unique comment/review about the server (your impressions, expectations, plans), which is best if is different by a little in each website you post it. This way people see you didn't just copy paste but put personal effort into it and are more likely to consider (its also really if staff considers giving some small bonuses to people that are indeed putting such personal effort into adding some unique personal review) . Also it provides better idnexation of our website on google, because it values the more unique texts which link to this website.

Another suggestion I might add for the staff is removing this post in the news section after a few days, just so players that come to the website from that source are more thinking that people are making those posts because they really like the server, rather than someone paying them for this, this also increases chances of someone playing here, in my opinion :)

Have a great day.

Hello there,

The Donation Points have been flushed and those normal accounts have been upgraded to Premium.

Yunen, I like very much your idea, we will do something related before it ends.

Thank you.

Hello again,

We have already 30+ players participating so, from now on we will reward 1 Donation Point per extra link. This count will be made after this step from our current advertising campaign is done (this is, on December 20th).

What will be considered an extra link?

Example 1) If you have 14 Valid links after it ends, you will receive your 15 Donation Points for your 10 links, and 4 Donation Points for those 4 extra link.

Example 2) If you have just 8 Valid links after it ends, you will receive 8 Donation Points.

This way, everyone will be rewarded for his time and help.

Thank you for your participation, we will keep you updated.

This is just awesome to hear, but still a question, will the donor status also be added to everyone who placed a link?

Lothloryen @ Algalon

Elune-Adore,

Yes of course, everyone who gets at least 1 Donation Point will be upgraded to Premium.

Example, December 20th: after we make the count if you have just 1 Valid link and 5 Non Valid, your account will become Premium and you will earn 1 DP. If you are already Premium, you will receive just the DP.

The simple fact of earning some amount of DP, will upgrade your account.

Also, I have noticed that, for many different reasons, there are some players who want to be Premium BUT they don't like the idea to has this kind of account's style along the forums/website.

We will implement in the future the chance to select if you want to show that you are Premium or not from your account panel, since this should be totally optional. We are pretty bussy right now with some concrete fixes and the preparation for Algalon's, The Progressive Server release, however, those who want to be Premium users and don't want it to be reflected on their forum avatar and style, just write me a private message and I will manage it.


Thank you very much.

Just wondering, what if someone gets more than 82 valid links? What if the second place has more than 82 valid links?

Edit: stupid question, I guess the winner will get one DP for each post PLUS the 82 for the prize, am I right?
