Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Forum

Nowadays almost all popular games are, well, popular mostly because of youtube. All the streams, commentary, walkthroughs, etc.. you get my point. That is a way of finding a game and showing it what it is like and possibly drawing people to play..

Basicly, promoting it through various popular sites like youtube, facebook and others (I don't know what is used).

I would advise people to try and explore the game as much as they can; but not get stuck too much. The game has received lots and lots of content over the years so there's so many things to do and farm, but if you are playing just for fun (like me) there's no need to try to do everything at level 3 and getting stuck there for years trying to get all purple armor, especially since things will be much, much easier on higher levels.

What would be your advice in playing the game to new players?

How would you attract new players to the game without spending a penny?
make it Android able

Develop mobilephone app will attract more .

Considering that I stopped playing for 6 years and then came back, I may as well be a new player, so I believe I have at least some knowledge to give.
1. Focus on your character - a lot of lower levels want a mount for naked hunting to get money and staying at that level for valour. This isn't a bad idea, but it also slows you down. There is a set amount of valour you can get at lower levels and the amount of silver/copper dropped per monster is low, when in the same amount of time at a higher level, you can get way more per fight.
2. Learn to love crystals of truth - back when I was first playing, these things didn't exist. In addition to the first point, they can give you a permanent boost to your attributes through talents. While this isn't as much of a big deal when you are level 15 or something, they can make a huge difference in the lower levels.
3. Tablets and seals are your friend - following on from the above two points, focus on getting tablets for your character and later on when you get one, your shadow. These things cost quite a bit, but once again, they give you a permanent boost to your character.
4. Get a solid mount - after you've gotten your character to a decent point, in other words, maxed out on tablets and talents (or as much as you can be bothered) focus on getting a nice mount. The easiest one to go for are the city rep mounts (tigers or zorbs), but the chaos fighter mounts only require a rep of 3000 and become a very viable option at the mid range levels 6-8. It is hard to kill all those gungls and equally hard to feed jakarals, given they rely on you having a steady supply of chaos particles, but they are true beasts in PvP fights.
5. Valour - valour is only important if you don't want to fork out gold (or for bragging rights). The very minor difference between valour based purple armour and non-valour based purple armour is negligible and if you followed points 1-3, it won't make much of an impact.
6. Get a solid group of friends/clan - eventually, you will need resources outside your profession or other services, so it helps to have a group of people you can trade favours for and helps speed up waiting times for things, such as getting a certain resource or being healed.
7. Reputations - not as big of an issue at lower levels, but around the mid-level range, you will really want Great Dragon rep and God/Goddess rep, as they can tilt any fight, PvP or otherwise, into your favour.
8. Pets - lastly, look into getting a pet. Pet food drops fairly often, to the point that if you don't use your pet for every fight and save it for PvP, or rainbow/vertisda's rage runs, you will likely never need to buy any. They are a nice feature, which, if trained up after a while, can serve as a nifty boost in fights.

Make some intersting fight events for new player, even PVP are welcome to them.
Trial pack of each Armor from Leather to blue, Trial period are even in hours, it will attract them.

Focus and achieve 1 goal at a time, dont try and spread your time too thin especially if your limited int he amount of play you can do,
Give yourself a realistic goal you can acheive every day, like banking so much money, picking so much for a reputation or to make/sell, Getting so much reputation such as chaos or Shadow Cacther(11+)
If you give yourself small goals you achieve int he long run you will reap all the benefits.

Since i come back a few months ago, the game has change a lot. My advice would be, do whatever path you like! nowdays, people can hunt all the way to lvl 10 or 11 then do valor, then reps.. or you can be like the old school type, where you play and grind slowly. The choice is yours, whatever you choose, just make sure you stick to it. Patience is virtue.

As for how to promote the game without spending any pennies, is mouth to mouth advertisement.. If your in game player is happy, the words will be spread nothing is cheaper then that

Thanks

Advices depends on player personal targets

-If your goal is to get valor and fight in pvp : you probably will stall the levels quite a bit in order to get money to buy better equip, gain new item for pvp etc. but personally i advice you to rush the first levels, with the money got from it buy a blue non valor set and start to do valor at level 7,8 or more because nowdays level 3,4,5,6 are full of people who stalled for many years and for new player i think they will have more chance and probably more pvp expierence to fight with level 7,8 or more people, hoping not met someone who stalled 7,8 many years

-If your goal is to enjoy the game and don't get in trouble with expierence, levels, valor you can do what ever you want : the game itself contains a load of quests, a lot to explore.
P.S. Is still preferable to get blue equip for your game journey, it will help a lot during quests, monster hunt or in case get attacked from other race
