hi,
i know there is a lot of discussion here about the crappy popularity system and i totally agree.i hate that system. there are a lot of bad maps being ultra popular and cool not so popular maps are impossible to play, because noone joins. there was a map about artifact hunt i really liked to play, it was clever, i ít was fun.. and it disappeared after 1 weeks maybe because there were not 1 million units dying so people think its not funny enough...
now i cant play because noone likes to join...
some days before i published a map which is funny and even simple to play. i think (people could like that map, but there is no way people get attended to my map. what can i do? how do people boost their maps? or are there any tricks i get people to get interested in my map?
is there a sc2 mapster plan for playing or testing new maps from the forum to support maps from here?
A few things you can do to promote your map:
Make a post here with a description of your map, what it's about, how many players, what region it's hosted on and such.
Add pictures of your map in the thread as well, if it looks good more people will want to try it out. Maybe even make a short video showing off a little piece of the map.
You could also check with people who could come try out your map, either here on the forums or on #sc2mapster on irc.
There's also a thread somewhere where there's a list of people willing to test maps (sorted by regions) with their names and identifiers. Go through that list, add people on bnet, ask them to test when they're on if they have time, and offer to test their maps :)
