    Default Massively op play through stream.

    I sent an email to Massively about having MJ do a play stream of the game. And i got a email back saying she's interested. I hope one of you guys get in touch with them to make it happen.

    Sorry i didn't get back to you. Was away for holiday. But i saw the stream and it was really bad. And it wasn't the game that made it bad it was the streamer. She was so clueless and couldn't even set the system setting up before she did the stream. It was a waste of time and seemed like it was a rush job because board posters were asking them to do one. She is so bad at it sometimes that its frustrating to watch her. And the fact that they didn't try to get in touch with you guys before is lame because they have done many streams with devs for other games. Sorry that it went this way. I was trying to help you guys out.

    Simple advice though not all might like it given what kind of people it might attract : if you want to have somewhat constant stream of players trying the game, create and keep alive "Neocron 2 General" at 4chan`s /vg/ - http://boards.4chan.org/vg/

    I think the point was that she comes into a game the same way any of us do for the first time. Generally you fire it up and expect the game to teach you how to play it.

    The problem is her expectations for this approach are based on the general hand holding of todays online games. Neocron does have a tutorial, and does a little hand holding, but through no fault of her own she couldn't play it. The problem was that she went into the tutorial, found the volume was too loud, then found she had to log out of the game to adjust it. When she came back into the game the tutorial was no longer accessible.

    She had the idea of creating a new char to start the tutorial, but then got hit by the 30 min new character creation block.

    It wasn't a great stream for promoting Neocron, but it should give NST a good overview of brand new player issues.

    I get what you are saying. And you make good points but i think she should have done a little more research because it wasn't a modern hand holding game like she is used to streaming. And she has done streams as a new player with devs in other games so i can't buy that as a new player like the rest of us remark. It seemed like a rushed job to appeal to players asking for a stream on their site. What i'm mad about is the fact she couldn't even finish the starter zone and get into the city proper to show it off.

    Do any of you even stream bro?

    Seriously though, it has never been my thing - I am probably too old - but are any of you guys confident enough with a mic etc to make a stream happen FOR new players but by someone with experience?

    Is it possible for the community to then artificially enhance the popularity of the stream by following it? I mean you could catapult someone into popularity through reddit etc surely?

    Hi there,

    I will happily stream Neocron as many days as I can for a few hour a day or more to try and promote Neocron!

    If we have a way to attract new players into the game by streaming then more people should do it, the fact is that a lot of people still don't know Neocron is here.

    A lot of people from a gaming community I am part of don't know either, I am trying to raise awareness of Neocron within the said gaming community which has 2800+ active members, there are procedures I need to follow to get this start but hopefully I can get more people interested.

    Anyone have any questions about me streaming feel free to ask.

    Thanks
    Ajam
