I was not trying to be an asshole just so people know. It is just very upsetting to see a request for FREE help when people have invested so much into this project. The very least that could be done is do bounties of some sort to get people to vote. But asking for free help when they made a nice size chunk via ico & there coin price is 700+ some sat below ico price is just not acceptable.
We run advertisements constantly. As I mentioned in my posts, we don't care about top100 but it is a good way to reach certain groups of people who are interested in conquer. It's a niche game and reaching certain users (especially those who don't speak english) can be difficult. Due to the reset I mentioned it was a way investors could help push the success of the heroes server with essentially 0 time invested on their part.
The reason we're not doing bounties for voting is for the following reasons.
1: Their site overs no reliable way to see if a vote counted (they offer a postback system but it triggers even if the vote didnt count...)
2: Their site is nearly useless to us. We only list on it because being in the first page boosts SEO results and brings a trickle of players we wouldn't otherwise have.
We do newsletters, facebook ads, google ads, are active on various forums as well as partnering with a number of other projects to help advertise things. Top100 is not something we prioritize nor care much about. I simply offered it as a quick link in case people felt like using it because it's at least something (every bit counts when it comes to marketing).
Why should I invest in this project?
The ICO has ended and we are not accepting further investment currently. If you are interested in the coin, now is a great time to do your research and possibly buy in due to the fact that there's already a consistent and proven use case launched and the gambling games are being released in the near future. If you're looking to hold for a longer period then the potential for future growth is very large given we're working on a number of large projects. Heroes is the first use case only and should be viewed as a proof of concept. The gambling games are in development now and are discussed in this thread + on our hangout sessions. Rebirth is our own custom game being developed for the long term build from the ground up with a jewels based economy.
In the next 2-3 months you have the launch of the gambling games, the launch of our in-game marketplace (auction house allowing people a safe way to escrow their in-game items for jewels or vice versa), the initial design document for rebirth and hints towards the networking prototype. Those are all great things to drive the price of a coin if speculating is your interest.
When is the next dev update?
We've had a very busy week getting things ready for the first batch of December events. Those went live yesterday + today so here's what's coming up in the (VERY) near future.
#1: Newsletter for players and investors detailing what has been added to the game and explaining all the new features. That can be expected no later than Monday.
#2: The next hangout will be recorded in the next 2 days at most to discuss the status of the first batch of provably fair gambling games. That can be expected to be uploaded no later than Tuesday (although most likely Monday as well)
#3: The current events are being turned into a series of advertisement campaigns and will be going live throughout the next week (staggered release of various adverts)
#4: The second round of December events will be launching in just over a week which will include a new batch of advertisements going live.
#5: We are deep in development of a custom mail system for heroes which will serve as a core part of the auction house. Once completed we will be overhauling our referral system offering jewels to players who recruit new players to the game and initiating players to the jewels ecosystem by giving a small 'faucet' of jewels from certain ingame events. I would estimate we're about 2 weeks out from that overhaul being made public.
