Warlight is awesome, we can all agree. But its survival depends on us players working together and creating an active, growing environment in which new players are not only welcomed, but commonplace.

I invite you all to give yourself a mission. My goal for this year is to bring in two new active players from real life, and if we all did the same, we'd have a) more people contributing to our community and b) more nubs to smash in the ladders. Everyone wins, eh? ;)

When I see more alts than new faces joining Warlight, then something has gone wrong and we need to fix this. It is time to set aside petty clan rivalries and focus on the bigger picture.

Best wishes,

Yeh, it's a good idea. But all my friends are tired of me nagging them :(

I agree that it's a bit challenging to create a Warlight addict. Here's how I usually try:

1) Sit them down with a laptop per person, and start a simple RT 2v2. Win it. Engage them as often as possible in conversation.

2) Keep doing that, and invite them to a single multi-day game, again with the two of you teamed up.

3) Hope the rest takes care of itself.


With that formula I've created a decent number of addicts, some of whom are still playing.

Teach me how to sell drugs.

That's simple. Offer something highly addicting for free, once, maybe twice, then start upping the price as it takes root. Use Google for more complex instructions.

Also, you'll probably need drugs before attempting to sell drugs*, but I can't provide any help with that.

Not if you wish to have a short life-span.

I completely agree. WarLight is nothing without a sizable community.

I wanted to introduce myself. I am working for WarLight and I have been reading all the forum threads and figuring out what would make WarLight better. I want to thank "Between Being and Ego" for starting the thread. If there is any software changes to WarLight that might assist in this type of outreach please post in this thread. We are all ears.

Meh, warlight is increasing massively already. The forum and open games have tripled since probably the introduction of levels. It will continue to also, especially now with gambling💰, plus all the new stuff Fizzer is working hard on.

I was invited to WarLight by a friend and together we brought in 11 other friends.... Unfortunately, there are only 5 of that group of 13 that still play..

I love that there is a clan for the staff :p

There should be a reward of sorts for inviting players to warlight... assuming they stay active for at least a year. I know there is an achievement for "A player you invited grew to lvl..." and there would be ways to abuse it for a prize. But some small 'token' or 'commission' for bringing in another member would be appreciated.

I only found WarLight because of Kong. I told some of my friends and only 1 is occasionally active.
Someone might need to improve the wiki (warlight.net/wiki/) e.g. minor edits such as wording, spelling and grammar.

I invited a friend.. didn't work well..

I invited my brother and two others, the other two are inactive but my brother still plays actively

What I've done so far:

• All the double redirects from the wiki are gone! (12 Jan 2015)

zxctycxz got me into warlight. We got about 10 friends on, but they gradually stopped after a couple of weeks. I tried to get my cousin on but he might be too young to understand it well.

DanWL, The wiki could do with some styling to suit the warlight.net website.

Maybe one of the staff could put the wiki on warlight.net as another main tab and remove help, as all help really says is 'go to the wiki' :P There should also be a link/tab to/for the blog somewhere.

It would be great if we had some strategic guides on a specific tab. We have a few posts in the forums and a Google Document out there, but no official place to put them.

someone should share that google doc with me, mail me whoever you are
