International factor of FFR
 

how do you explain there are so few active players at any one place outside the US
take Europe and Brazil for example they are both very heavy internet using countries with population in the hundreds of millions combined
yet the amount of active players is extremely low
what brazilian kids don't enjoy the rhythmic tapping of arrows like the american ones?

Re: International factor of FFR
 

There are lots of Canadian kids too.

And I think the main factor is that this is an English based site, and most European countries don't speak English.

Re: International factor of FFR
 

most countries learn english in school now... also, large 1st world countries who have a ton of kids on the internet tend to learn english just because the net is so english dominated.

the reasoning? my guess? they just don't know about it. rhythm gaming in general isn't really known in those countries... no DDR/ITG... so how would they know about the online variants?

Hey, you raise its a good point.

International bands should be a target for fast growth on Rithum or whatever the hell they put on myspace these days ;)

Re: International factor of FFR
 

would FFR want them to know? the "users currently using FFR" could triple
i think the same people just dont know this site i write about it in gaming sites i find over here
but its slow getting people hooked being its a skill game where you need time to improve

lol india at 42 mil with only a 3% reach

Russia beats out Canada?!?! Aw, come on guys!

Re: International factor of FFR
 

of course we want more users. we just aren't going to spend the money to advertise... i mean, even if we did advertise, it would be to US/Canada/UK audiences, as that's where the ad revenue is. it comes down to business. and, currently, we don't advertise at all.

s0ulst0n3 its even more surprising Mexico beats Canada that makes [HectoGtzMX] even more incredible :) being hes the only one while there are so many of you canadians :P

Re: International factor of FFR
 

You know how mozilla has all sorts of buttons to advertise their software? Maybe FFR could do the same.

Re: International factor of FFR
 

How about making an FFR browser? People like new browsers that look cool, run smoothly, and have no pop-ups. Plus, it could have add-ons that come with the program to make your FFR experience even more enjoyable. A while ago my big bro taught me how to make a browser. It's pretty complicated, but I'm sure our educated Admins can do it. ;)

Plus, it would probably get a lot more users from around this nation.

Re: International factor of FFR
 

I really don't think anybody but rabid FFR fans will do this. I also doubt that your brother taught you how to make a browser from scratch and was probably just a modded browser or FireFox theme. Also the admins would need to learn BASIC and possibly C++ but I'm not sure on that. They would also need to be networking guru's. Also how would ad-ons make FFR more enjoyable? Example?

in Europe DDR is called Dancing Stage

Re: International factor of FFR
 

And there are no speed mods. I've only played EuroMix 3 so it might be on a newer one if there is one?

Re: International factor of FFR
 

That would be a monumental waste.

Re: International factor of FFR
 

I saw we make tons of little advertizing signatures/picture things. (Like firefox and other programs have) I still think what FFR should try to get an advertizement onto HUGE sites. Like youtube, google, etc....

Re: International factor of FFR
 

He didn't teach me how to make it from scratch, he told me what I would have to do TO make it, I wouldn't understand half the stuff he said anyways. Add-ons such as..I don't know, half and half screen of FFR and level ranks? Could be a partial IM program using our FFR e-mail addresses?

Re: International factor of FFR
 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but instead of paying for advertisement on youtube, one could make a video that is sure to be popular while advertising FFR in the video. Since FFR is a free game, I'm not sure if paying for advertisements would help FFR make more money, even with more visitors.

Blendtec's "Will it Blend?" videos are really popular and does a good job advertising Blendtec's blenders. Maybe we could think of something that would catch one's interest to watch the video on youtube and include a way to make it so that people would be curious to check out FFR after watching it.
