I basically own a Online MMORPG Text based game. Its a modern war military based theme game. I was just wondering the best ways of getting members for it. I heard integrating the game into facebook and myspace works well? Although i have no idea how this will go like in getting members to play. Has anyone ever done this? Any helps and tips appreciated for getting my game bigger oh here is the game: www.modern-conflict.com Thanks!
It's a pretty hardcore question to ask on this forum. You are basicly asking for a business plan. Check this guy out: http://www.zynga.com/ He has huge succes with small text games in social media platforms.
You can try buying installs from ad networks like Rockyou and socialmedia, or approach app developers personally on facebook and ask for a quote to put a display banner on their site for your app. Buying installs is pretty universal for any successful app on the platform.
You can iframe your games, but would need to work with the MySpace and Facebook APIs for user authentication. They both require that you not require users to register with their email addresses to play. http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/p/2226/9870.aspx http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Talk:Authentication_guide It would take some time to implement, but I think the installs you'll receive would be tremendous.
