Tomorrow is the big day! I will be making a post on both Zam and Eorzeapedia probably in the morning. One of our own members is going to be making the post on the Core forums. Due to the fact that he's a staff member there, our endeavors would likely look more real and serious coming from his mouth rather than any of ours.
If any of you know of any other community forums, feel free to post a link to us there starting tomorrow. In addition, feel free to change your signatures on all of these forums to provide a link to the RPC. And as Traydon stated above, word of mouth is also a crucial element to getting us out there as well. Our roster -should- start increasingly rather rapidly over the next couple weeks. If not, there's a serious problem >.>. Two weeks from now, I'm hoping to see us reach the 100 member goal, though I tend to shoot rather high in the goal department so we'll see if that happens or not. The numbers game will be semi-crucial to gaining SE's support a few months from now though so please keep that in mind.
Keep in mind that new FF14 info is slated for the 28th at VanaFest (or at least some kind of FF14 "event"). Any info that comes out then may help get people more excited afterwards. Thus, if anyone can casually bump our advertising threads a day or two after then, that would be great.
All we can do now is hope that the public is receptive to us. I'm tailoring my posts in a way that reaches out to hardcore and casual roleplayers alike, as well as just general RP supporters who may never actually RP themselves. Keep your fingers crossed!
Edit: I also just submitted the main site url to Yahoo, Bing, and Google. It may take a few days or a few weeks for it to show up on search engines though.
