[project] TomeNET promotion (wikipedia and other resources)

Post by tangar »

Lets add an article about TomeNet in wiki?

To start an article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TomeNET

I've added some links to russian wikis and forums :)

Annoying that the Wikipedia article for Tomenet has been deleted. TOMENET is one of the first online RPGs and dates back to the 90s. It has survived the massive boom in on-line gaming and remains completely non-profit and volunteer driven. As far as I am aware nobody would even take a donation. We could host our own Tomenet wiki and call it TWiki or something. Or we could just link to a more friendly host.

Yeah, its real stupid bureaucracy.

I've added link to TomeNet @ russian wiki https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike (got to argue with another moderators there) and @ lurkmore http://lurkmo.re/Roguelike ... But we have to make something with English wikipedia - its good source of new players.

What we need there - its a sources in big magazines or websites to proof that TomeNet is unique and important. We have to write an articles to big websites - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... importance .. I found only one of this there: http://obsoletegamer.com/tomenet-a-mult ... -by-tommy/

Is anyone else out there interested in starting a dedicated Tomenet wiki? It would nicely complement these forums and the Tomenet Guide. It could be hosted here at tomenet.eu or anywhere else. Maintained by the public (ie. the players).

Added TomeNET there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_roguelikes

Please check this description for errors:

In addition to traditional roguelike features - rng level generation, permadeath, dynamic hack'n'slash experience and freedom of actions, TomeNET has MMORPG features - real-time gameplay, PvE in group, PvP, economy system (players shops and housing) and etc.

Description with wiki codes:

| 2001 || || ''[[TomeNET]]'' || C. Blue, Mikael, others || Fantasy || WIN, LIN, OSX || In addition to traditional roguelike features - [[Random_number_generation|rng]] level generation, [[permadeath]], dynamic [[Hack and slash|hack'n'slash]] experience and freedom of actions, TomeNET has [[MMORPG]] features - [[Turns,_rounds_and_time-keeping_systems_in_games#Real-time|real-time]] gameplay, [[Player Versus Environment|PvE]] in group, [[Player Versus Player|PvP]], economy system (players shops and housing) and etc.

Guys, please help to promote TomeNET. We need an articles in game magazines and big gaming websites also.

I've kindly asked moderators of https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/ to add TomeNET to "Popular roguelikes" category of /r/roguelikes/, but one of them said that "real-time aspect makes it very un-roguelike". I can't agree with it, but... When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Ok, still they added link to TomeNET reddit community (https://www.reddit.com/r/tomenet) at "Roguelike(ish)-Specific Subreddits" category. Better then nothing :) May be one day it would be possible to convince moderators to add TomeNET at the right place 8-)

So lets make TomeNET reddit alive again :) Lets write and communicate there! https://www.reddit.com/r/tomenet

Also a question - who could change link to TomeNET website at /r/tomenet? Who created this subreddit? Now its have old link to http://www.tomenet.net/ :(

1) http://angband.oook.cz/variants.php?variant=tomenet - need to change URL and links there to .EU
2) http://angband.oook.cz/links.php - tomenet ISN'T "multiplayer T.o.M.E.". Its unique game. Variants of short description:
a) "online multiplayer roguelike"
b) "roguelike MMORPG"
c) "MMO-roguelike"

About our reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/TomeNET/
Its created by [deleted] user.. And it has wrong link to our game in description (we are using .eu damain, not .net). To fix it we need to take control over this /r/. To do so we need post there:

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest

If anyone could do it, please... The problem is that you have to be very active on reddit to make such request
Accounts less than 90 days old, and without at least 500 combined karma will not be given subreddits.
500 carma is a lot
