A thought about a new rank for players.
« on: February 09, 2013, 04:47:31 pm »
I was thinking about a possible rank for popular youtubers who make videos to help bring new players to the game.

As an active Media forum watcher I love seeing the new video makers appear.
I was thinking because pmods have a silver crown, RuneRebels mods have a gold crown, why not give the Youtubers who are trying to help promote the game and advertise for you a bronze crown next to their names in game?
I just thought it would help to promote the videos :)
ALSO this would encourage more people to make more videos which in turn = more videos to promote RuneRebels = More players.

Any thoughts? I thought it would be a nice way to repay them. ;D

Here are some popular Youtubers who have either started making videos here or have brought people from other private servers.

I've seen this exact suggestion before, somewhere, so I'll give the same response.

There's no need for this. It's extremely easy to make videos, and if this is added everyone will make a 2 minutes video every other week or something so they can get the crown.

What rank could there possibly be? Other than something like CM I can't think of anything else :S
Could have something like "Video Maker" or "Director" or something idk :s

I wouldn't mind a YouTube icon next to my name or something.

I've brought over 50 players here through my YouTube.

We don't support giving special ranks or privileges out to members. I guess the best way I can describe it is that we want everyone to be equal here and while we greatly love and appreciate all the hard work everyone's been doing to bring players to the site, rewards like this would just cause problems. After they're released people often start changing their whole game play experience to get the award and they end up not enjoying the game because rather than making videos because it's something they enjoy they are doing it to get an award.

Later on then we'd also have to make rules onto what is consider worthy of the rank and what is not so we'd be either making it not fair for those newer to making videos, or we'd be giving it to everyone who makes a video and the rank wouldn't really mean anything.

It's kind of like reputation points on sites, while it's intended to be a good thing, it often just pushes the idea that one player is better than another and we just don't want that here. We want all our players to be treated equally and fairly. :) This ties into why we don't offer special sections or in game rewards for our donors.
