Lack of server advertisement

Pkhonor is really lacking in advertising, yes we have the rune locus sites n what have you, but Who even uses those websites anymore to find new rsps? I’m sure some will come from there but, pkhonor I believe would strive soo much more if there were outside YouTubers playing the game and making series. I mean imagine the views it would bring to the game. We have some cool ass features on pkhonor and unless you’ve played the game before in the heydays you’d never even know about the updates that have dropped because it’s not advertised on YouTube, which I believe is where the main audience to attract players. I think if a few YouTubers were contracted to make videos and even a few livestreams here n there would be heavily beneficial towards the community and I know it would probs cost money to do, but there hasn’t been any YouTube advertisements for years and years. I think if somebody like wet wizard came through or somebody as of that nature and did a series on grinding towards a ench comp cape or grinding to get death ect thousands of more people would see how great this game is and would make the community more active, which I believe is needed because you can log in and come onto 35 players online and if you’re a regular player you can wait days on days even weeks trying to sell items.

To sum it all up, there's not enough money for all that to happen. Advertising costs money and youtubers throughout pkh history bitch and moan for some sort of compensation. Pkh doesn't have all the bells and whistles other severs have. Other servers advertise and shove mtx down players throats, but they end up being quick cash grabs that shut down anyways.

Best thing you can do is ::vote everyday and ::donate to help the server stay up. Once the higher ups start feeling more motivated, we can push for advertising as a higher priority and see what happens.

This reminds me of a great point. I have never once heard "I found out about PkHonor from watching The Underdog's pk videos".

What sorta compensation? I remember a time certain creators weren't happy that they wouldn't give them a youtube rank and maybe wouldnt allow them to use spawned in new items for content and have them empty it once the video was done. I understand the whole donating to support the development of the server but that just doesnt happen over here. Persoanlly think even if the server was making thousands a month the money would never get put back into the server we'd just get what we get now which isnt a lot. Just dont think it would hurt to have ONE video released to cover a update or something the server has done, I doubt that would cost them n arm and a leg yano

Tbh whenever I type in pkhonor in the search on youtube a lot of his videos come up, not saying there the best type of videos to gain actual players to the game but better then nothing.

Yea, bitching and moaning for free shit and it would be a statistical annoyance to manage. If someone wants to make content for the server they should do it without the expectation for something in return. It should truly be something they want to do for their own purposes or to help others aka help the community thrive. And in my honest opinion, content creation won't do shit to pull new players. But that's my opinion, I could surely be wrong, paying for advertising slots is more feasible than garnering less that 50 views on some youtube video (most of which would just be the forums anyways).

Also this server is a hobby for the owners, a passive income at best. They don't owe us anything and we don't owe them anything either. They have jobs, families, and more. I'd stop collecting trading cards if a bunch of annoying kids were telling me that I was doing it the wrong way.

Like I said, just wait until they have a spike of passion and get their cogs working again. We can pitch the idea for advertising slots and run another donation campaign for discontinued items to support the costs.
