I saw some SWAT 4 clans using it, apparently it's effective.

But when I was using it Soldat wasn't on their list of games.

Hi there
First of all, I'm not used to post in English so you will have to excuse my bad use of the language.

I have three ideas to solve this problem:

• Community Ads (for the same cause): This means that not only www.soldat.pl will have ads, but sctfl site, nasoldat site, soldat.com.ar, soldat.br and all sites who want's BE in their servers will. Understanding that this is a problem that affect us all
• IRC Ads: This point is a little bit tricky, because i don't know any script that send publicity to an IRC channel, but I'm thinking in a "reminder bot" on every Soldat channel with people in it =/, like #nasoldat, #sna.gather, #soldat.match, and all that stuff. Reminder notes like; "Have you clicked today, visit www.soldat.pl and help us" or "We don't need cheaters in our game, please click the ads on (insert soldat site here)"
• Loading Screen with Ads: A preview image or even a web-site, that shows notices of the community, understanding 'community' like all sites of Soldat who wants appear in front page, and some Ads, this would be a a way to reward that sites who help Soldat and  a way to wining a little bit of money from the Ads. This could be an optional feature and configurable from Config.exe
  

Finally say that don't underestimate point 1, there's so much people that plays this game that doesn't even know the official forums. I have played since 2005 here in Chile and only in 2008 i meet the sctfl and the international leagues.

Bye.

Hi, How is this topic?
I'm from argentinian community and this idea can work! especially the first point. I'm willing to colaborate by placing a banners on frontpage of soldat.com.ar

BE is already ditched.

lol like 90% of the players didnt even notice that its gone..

Oh they did. I see many cheaters. At least one a day.

1 per day is less then 90% lol , + some guys who follow the forums..
even guys who re using irc asked me why their servers are showing up the "cannot connect to soldat.battleye.com" message.

there has been a while now since some ads are on forums and soldat.pl and sup with that? would be great if you would keep the community in touch with all this stuff, imo they should have already earn quite good amount.

Like 2 dollars and 76 cents.

obviously not

Website Worth: $9,020.61

Daily Pageviews: 4,119

Daily Ads Revenue: $12.36
prolly it's not $12.36 a day always but it should be around it.

well, BE was just a joke and ruined soooo many demos.... and since MM has already payed be by himself for half a year, I don't see a reason to bitch about him taking some ads payment...

That website is complete bullshit btw

[darDar]

That website is complete bulls**t btw

Dont think so.. Basicly the website is for new players and its kept simple.
There is a big download button + some screenshots, so its easy to know how to get the game
It supports several Languages (most game pages dont)
Everything else is included on that website as well.
Onliest thing missing in my opinion is a proper Game Trailer.

I think that he was talking about cubestat page...

not really sctfl.net has ads and it pays for about half of the server cost. and it has much less traffic then soldat.pl or forums.soldat.pl

[Veritas]

I was talking about cubestats, which just takes your Alexa rating/Google PageRank/etc and then uses ~magic math~ to arrive at an ad revenue number

This might be a little late but I'd be interested in seeing how many people would be willing to pay a monthly fee in order to keep BattleEye going. People are quitting left and right and it's hard to go into a public server nowadays without finding hackers.

Personally I'd be willing to donate $10/month.

[Illuminatus]

$10 a month for an anti-cheat-solution for a game which is nearly dead and not maintained any more?
Ehm...No. I would pay (even monthly) for the further development of Soldat which includes the anti-cheat measurements. And that would be less than $10. I can get full featured MMORPGs for almost this amount of money. And there I know that I will get new content regularly, bugfixes and mostly see a growing user-base.
Bring Soldat back to life and you can have my money.

Mine too

I'd do the same if needed.
