I guess this one can go here as well as any other place.
Here’s what I do know:
-
At least one Deca employee has signed up on these forums. That means A, they use RealmEye, and B, they saw the forum. No, they haven’t posted yet. No, I won’t say who it is.
-
Deca gave us a mention on the official RotMG Facebook and Twitter accounts, which was pretty sweet.
-
We’ve spoken, albeit very briefly, with them about the forum. I hope they’ll be willing to talk some more.
-
Facebook has millions of users and over 42,000 likes on the RotMG page.
-
Twitter has millions of users and over 12,000 followers of the RotMG account.
-
Reddit has millions of users and over 10,000 subscribers to /r/rotmg.
-
The Kabam forum had over 35,000 topics with over 412,000 replies.
-
RealmEye has thousands of users, perhaps 10s of thousands.
-
These forums now have 1600+ users, with over 400 of them at Trust Level Basic, which means they’ve been minimally active instead of signing up and leaving. We have just over 400 topics and 5000 replies.
We are a tiny fraction of the community so far, but we’re growing quickly. I hope that we’ll keep growing and become the premiere place for players spend their time and energy making great discussions. If that does come to pass then I would assume that Deca would want to get in on the action. Until then, however, we’re just too small an audience for them to spend their time and energy interacting with.
For now, keep talking, keep posting, and lets build this site into a great resource for everyone. We’ve got huge advantages over all the other social communities here – in-game names and a platform that supports long term discussions and collecting ideas. There’s no reason we can’t make it big.
