It doesn't make sense to add the server to otservlist while it's not online, if anything the only thing it does is lowering your uptime rating We will add it the very second the server goes online, and start the advertising

Suppose he meant a banner on otservlist, to announce the server and make sure a lot of visitors can see the name of your server.
As you've opened a thread on otland already, I suppose you also opened threads on other open tibia websites/forums so that's good.
Why are you planning to start advertising more after opening the server as opposed to starting now?

Why are you planning to start advertising more after opening the server as opposed to starting now? It's specifically with otservlist. You can't advertise a offline server there. And even if you could, it would be throwing money away. People browsing that site are not looking forward to read long concepts of servers being released in the future, but rather for something to play "right now". It's also worthy to note that advertising on otservlist is really expensive, and since we are not exactly swimming in money right now, we want to make the most efficient use of it xD

Otservlist banner is expensive and not worth it for a custom server. It's used by the big rlmap servers with a huge income.

lol'd at this haven't seen any server have less than 150 at launch with a "Starting soon" advertisement on otservlist. people are looking at servers there all the time, seeing a new upcoming server with that is huge for players since they are generally looking for new servers, not servers that has been up for a long time. it tells the players that the owners are serious about their server and they know that it will be filled with players the first few days atleast JUST because of the "starting soon" advertisement. Sure it's expensive but it's hella worth it.
it's a shame you didn't advertise it there, take some more look into opening your server next time.

How did it go with the advertisements now that the server has launched?
Even if it costs money, it will hopefully generate more money in the end for you guys and make the server more fun for your players :-)

We're currently appearing as a "Featured Server" on otservlist.org. We thought it was the best option we could afford to appear on the first page. Even if it costs money, it will hopefully generate more money in the end for you guys and make the server more fun for your players :-) Just to clarify, all the money we earn from donations is reinvested in the server, nothing of that is going for our personal use. Best Regards! Darkstar
