Re: Advertising Woes
It is a vicious cycle. All I can recommend is that you find some great RPers whose talents you are familiar with and pitch your game to them. Get them excited by what makes you unique. Hopefully word of mouth will take over from there.
I think a lot of games fall into the trap of trying to attract more people at the expense of quality RP, literally opting for warm bodies regardless of who and what (ie, if you're an RP MUD, attracting players only interested in H&S isn't a good thing). Sometimes you have to settle down with the idea of a small pbase and very minimal incremental growth as you establish and build a reputation that will attract more. That's where having a very deep, multi-faceted world (no one-trick ponies) helps because it allows for diversity and longevity while you try to build a pbase.
Good luck!
