And some people still think that SRO isn't dying? or already dead? This is a desperation attempt to revive the rotting dying corpse that is this game

Last resort to get new players... lol

eh, I think it's more of a new wave of advertisement. Dragon Oath is still in beta and it's doing almost the same thing. A few other games i've looked at recently are doing similar strategies to reach out to audiences. It's not just JM's last ditch attempt.

The use of services like "myspace," "facebook," and "twitter" to reach out to broader audiences is typical of 09 MMOs and their respective companies.

tl;dr, it's a common practice

tl;dr of tl;dr common

I just love how no one is going to bother following them on twitter until they get to 99 followers.. or close to hahaha!

LOL how predictable.

How strange. It's like they've opened themselves up to customer contact. LOL

Imagine the spam and hate mail. Cant wait to read down the twitter page.

and that the way it will go
new players dont come when JM doesnt change the system to monthly fee, where you pay the fee on homepage and then log in without waiting

IceCrash · **Posted:** Wed Nov 04, 2009 11:41 am

this is will just be a faster way for JM to go down, just wait.

POAST FASTER! They can't have the account holder delete videos 24/7... unless they have a bot for that

Good idea and for additional for that, let's also flood a lot of screen shot with goldbot and spambot.

We should call this as our legit way of protest...

That, i did the same thing while i was still playing.
My friend tried for like an hour to log in and wasnt able
so he just uninstalled the game and told me off lol.

I will try to post some screen shot with goldbot and spambot later and put it in the facebook and multiply where not only joymax can see it but also outsiders who also play other RPGMMO online games.

I like how they need to specify that. Too bad their prizes are awful. When they did this on JD the prize was awesome and everyone could enjoy it.
