I see a lot of "all or nothing" in this conversation. As if being #1 on a toplist or having the most prominent banner or being in a top Youtuber's video is legitimately the only conceivable way to advertise the server, and anything less is negligible. This isn't true. If calculus has taught me anything, it's that even infinitesimals add up.

While I certainly agree that directed efforts in large scale advertisements tend to be the most effective, I do want to propose that we also give attention to a less attention-grabbing form of advertisement that will add up over time.

Example)

Participating in the RSPS community at large and keeping PkHonor's name in the conversation. People may downvote, call you idiots, or say "bleh". But reminding people that PkHonor exists is a necessary precondition to getting them to play it in the first place. "There's no such thing as bad advertisement," as they say. (Not that I'm advocating for the negatives, or that we will even be criticized every time. It'll happen here and there because we've just been around for so damn long).

If you mention PkHonor in a hot topic on Runelocus or Rune-Server, those who had tried it or moved on may not care too much for it the first time they see it. But if even one person decides it's worth their time (whether they be returning or new) then that's a huge plus. If we keep on mentioning it, even those who ignored it/criticized it in the first post could gradually be drawn to the idea of atleast giving it a shot.

Note: I'm not saying advertise it like monkeys (but I'm not against that either). I'm saying just talk about it as if it is a part of any relevant conversation. Put it in your signatures on those forums. Etc. Don't tell people it's worth their time, act like it is.

If enough people do this, it's bound to make an impact over time. A few people over a long period is good enough.

Why don't you just go hold a sign out by the highway that says some stuff about the server and has the link...

The only thing that keeps this game going is the 10 year old veterans, honestly; no advertisment, no updates, yea this wont take long before it’s going to shutdown, anyone thinking else is just plain stupid.
I don't agree that the game will shut down anytime soon, I do agree that it's only 10 year vets playing now but I don't think that that will kill the game
the only reason rsps's are surviving now is because of the vets that don't want to play the real game.
The only solution I see is to get more players and the only real way to do that is to advertise but I would say it's not worth it tbh, nobody looks at toplists anymore

I think I brought this up back in the good ol' days. I got an add for another rsps first in a youtube add and then on facebook. I thought we could do something simillar but I don't think anyone caught on to it. Advertise through google/facebook shouldn't be too expensive? And it gets targeted to rs players.

Mhm I keep getting an ad for an rsps with that crab rave music on it lmao. To reach maybe ~10K people on Facebook and/or Youtube really shouldn't be expensive and might be worth more than paying vote sites for a feature or w.e
