Help Us Hype The Game!

Below is a cut and paste of an announcement I just made on the public forums incase anyone hasn't been over there yet. It's really important!
-----------------------
Anyone who noticed our old listing on MMORPG.com will recognize why we gave up on there initially. Back in the day it was the nexus of all trolldom and just took too much to combat to make it worth it.

However it does happened to be a place where an insane number of individuals go to read up on upcoming MMORPGs so in the interest of doing what's right for the project, I've been in touch with their staff and got the project brought back "online" with them.

What helps these games a lot is if people go to your listing and "hype" the project up, once it reaches a certain amount it lists it on the front page. That's a huge help! So what I'm asking people to do from the deepest section of my guts, maybe the sub-cockel region, is to there as soon as they can go to mmorpg and show the game some love.

What I thought we might do is each week pick a website or publication and all "bomb" it with attention. It's not much but it's the best Idea I think is on the table right now and who knows, it might even help close the gap.

Time to spit on your hands, hoist the black flag and start slitting throats!

You're going to want to be careful, this is taken from MMORPG.com's Hype rules:

"PLEASE NOTE: Manipulation of the hype-meter will result in the reset and disabling of this game's ratings. Examples of manipulation include (but are not limited to): creating multiple accounts in order to drive up the rating, developers encouraging fans to vote the rating to a specific number, and the offering of incentives for fans to vote up the rating (such as in-game rewards)."

I really hope they don't do that, as we were just expressing our excitement for the game, but I think you should look into it before anything bad happens.
