I love TriadCity!

How can I help it grow?

Well bless your heart for asking! Here are some things you can do which really help a lot:

  1. Report bugs. The more burp-free the TC player experience, the better. Use the "bug" command online, or e-mail us with anything really lengthy.
  2. Refer a friend. We'll even reward you for doing it. Click here for details.
  3. Use our Web site. Page views drive our future success with advertisers. And, they're the main source of player info and lore about the game. Please click around with total abandon.
  4. Become a fan on Facebook. Really helps get the word out. Also, posting a positive review on the Facebook TC profile page is very much appreciated. Thanks so much!
  5. Participate in our bulletin boards. Very helpful for new players. We especially appreciate it when you answer questions, make suggestions, and so on. It goes really far toward making TriadCity a larger and fuller experience.
  6. Link to us. That is, put links to SmartMonsters pages on your site. This helps us achieve higher rankings on Google. And please tell your visitors how much you love us!
  7. Encourage others to link to us. If you come across interesting sites which discuss RPGs, MUDs, experimental literature, Postmodernism, etc. etc., check their links pages for references to TriadCity. If they don't link to us, encourage them to do so.
  8. Edit appropriate Wikipedia entries to include references to TC. If you find a Wikipedia entry which should include a reference to TC but doesn't have one, add it. Example subjects might be: RPGs, role-playing, experimental literature, Postmodernism, online games, multiplayer games, MUDs, etc. etc. Note the excellent Wikipedia article dedicated to TC. Add links to it, and to the TC web site.
  9. Write something about us on slashdot. Every time there's a posting about TriadCity on slashdot our traffic leaps and we gain dozens of new players. It's one of the best places on the Web to get the word out. Naturally, we appreciate it very much if you conform to slashdot's policies and cultural norms -- and if you say good things about TC!
  10. Buy stuff from our bookstore. We make a small commission on everything you buy. Actually if you buy as many books as we do, we'll make a small fortune. Meanwhile we'll happily settle for covering some portion of our hosting costs! These are really good books, too.
  11. Check out our sponsors' products by clicking on their ads. Makes 'em love us. Really can't thank you enough!
  12. Take our surveys. The info you provide is critical to our ability to evolve the game in appropriate directions; and to our ability to interest the right sponsors in supporting us. Way lotsa thanks for taking a minute to provide complete and accurate answers!
  13. Review us. On your favorite game review site, or anywhere else for that matter. We're so keen on this that we've written-up a set of guidelines for reviewers.
  14. Nominate us for awards. Here's a list of possibilities which, after sniffing enough glue, we thought we might mention:
    We realize it might take a few days before any of these awards come our way. Selection committees have their bureaucratic thing they have to do. We're patient. Thanks so much for informing them of our existence!

We're so grateful for your help! See you in the City!
