The forums been dead for a while qwerts, its been difficult getting people in. The best peice of advice I can give you qwerts is to have constant updates whenever possible. This is the best way to keep intrest and feedback coming in. Seems to work for Realm, new world and and cairns maps. Is you leave a map to lonh wothout updating its suprising how hard it is to generate intrest again.

You say you used to follow the foundry, but you have less than 10 posts in the foundry. If you want to help out, post in more topics and give your opinions on maps.

I agree that this forum is dead. I don't think my map of Tar Valon has been looked at by a mod at all. I say this because I think it is at least deserving of an advanced idea. But nobody has said anything of substance in the thread. And I have something like 400 views, and I think half of them are by me. And this, by the way, is with the advertising in my sig. I don't at all feel encouraged to go on. I will try, but honestly, this is not the way to make new map makers feel like they can actually make a map.

i only post in map ideas, and only if there maps that seem like they can make it and maps that i understand. other than that, im not posting.

It doesnt matter if you map is looked at my a mod

Its community feedback that progresses your map. Sorry but mods cant look at every post of every thread

InkL0sed · Post by **InkL0sed** » Wed Feb 06, 2008 8:33 pm

But almost nobody even looks at it...

sometimes you have to do updates on your own accord, especially in the beginning. I've seen the map, I'm not too good with gameplay, so I couldn't comment on that, but I think you should spend more time with the program.

I agree with Gimil here...
When I first started work on my map I was completely unknown in the Foundry and my first draft truly sucked. But part of my "strategy" for getting input and creating interest was to keep the thread at the top of the map ideas section by placing polls and posting frequently.

I've been very inactive in the Foundry lately, as I've been enjoying playing my map and getting back to a few non-CC related things.

Something else I've enjoyed lately is putting together a Tournament with my map.

I encourage ALL map-makers to get involved in creating Tournaments. -It's a great outlet for your creativity!
Instead of merely using the typical spread-sheet type brackets, I made a background image and had a little fun with it.
Plus, who could be better at creating interesting Tourny's than those with the creative ability found here in the Foundry?

I guess my line of thinking is that with so many maps already in play and so many in development it's easy to get "foundry burn-out".

I don't think the Foundry is dying though, quite the opposite. More and more new faces are submitting ideas and I expect that the Foundry is just in a lull right now and will come back with great interest in coming weeks!
