Toribash
Staff make events happen, and events raise player counts so im guessing thats the logic behind wanting people to join staff.

i wonder why this game is a so inactive in the first place, and more importantly, why the developers haven't tried to push any sort of promotions. i think that this game could definably succeed in todays market, hell could probably charge $5-$10 for it. and i know this because you have a community of players that have been long standing for over a decade. hundred's of which sink massive amounts of USD into this game. Toribash can defiantly garner attention. and it can still draw in a newer audience, i see that with all the new account made from 2020 and onward. this game has every bit of potential but its like its been thrown to the side. and i cant for the life of me think why.


i honestly think that all it needs is a spark to light the flame for a new generation of players, and it is not at all infeasible.


let me know your thoughts and opinions. let me know if I'm missing and crucial details


and for the love of god don't let me be the only one posting in this thread

you're incredibly naive if you think millions of views on social media + a sudden 1000% increase in concurrent players isn't effective promotion. you have a misconception of what toribash's problem is, it's retention, not bringing people in

okay you got me, should have called the thread "promotion & retention"
♥Team Aikido♦OoT♣Team Lenshu♠

retention has been talked about before

not too long ago there was a community outreach thread where ancient asked the community what they thought would keep players engaged for longer

the result of that thread was the addition of a battlepass and quests which actually worked in keeping players engaged for a while from what ive seen the past 3 years or so. i for one was able to make fat stacks of tc just selling the random crap they give you in the battlepass.

clan league also came back which keeps players coming back to the game

i wanna ask you, zorow, now that we have all this random crap in the game like blind fight, ingame quick events where u do parkour or make a replay for tc, quests, a battlepass, etc. etc.

what's something new that you would like to see in the game that would function as a player retention tool that hasnt been done already?

personally i think the game being dead at the moment is both a community and staff issue, but thats a topic for another day since this thread is about promotion and retention after all

I think the last thing we can do is go down the comp. road, and maybe advertise that you can make some usd by selling TC and ITEMS. a real market. other than that weve done everything. The tiktoks and all that is about good as it gets outside of hiring markplier to replay the game lol.
thats not what toribash is about its not a moneymaking game

none of the tiktoks encompassed the entire scope of what the game is about either

if you look at the page its all replaymaking stuff with some mma mixed in which is because the guy who runs the page, matarika, has a heavy bias for just those two things

a proper way to on-road players into the actual meat of the game, the community

although it wasn't my intentions to be the one coming up with bright ideas, rather a place to gather them from more capable people than i. might have a few subjections.

one idea could be better forum and discord integration with the game. although they have improved it Significantly, i have still met new players that have never used. they don't know how or find it frustrating to navigate the forums efficiently. I for one am not a fan of the new layout and prefer to use legacy.

another could be better announcements of events, a lot of people complaing about the lack of events which i just find untrue, I've been to at least 6-7 ES hosted events this month. they have a decent turnout considering all things but maybe not everyone is getting informed properly, or with enough notice.


lastly and most importantly is social media coverage on the game. i know that has been touched on recently in this thread, and i agree with the statements made stating that some youtube/tiktokers dont cover all aspects of the games. but some did. ConCon was a fantastic example of the work I'm hoping another gifted mind could bring to the table. out of the thousands of players that visit this game semi regularly, is there not a single one that has a fairly large following, that could be drawing in attention.


again it was not my intent to be coming up with ideas, rather just a place for the community to share and discuss potential ideas, but since you asked me. those are few areas that I particularly think could use some work.

If you're just curious about what other people have to say about the game no longer retaining a large volume of players; I suggest you search the Offtopic board with keywords like "revive toribash" or "toribash is dying". There's existing discussion from wildly varying demographic you might find insightful.
