Hey folks!

I stumbled upon a great way to get Illy some more much deserved coverage last night. On the front page of reddit there is a "Now Playing" side bar where redditors simply send a message to a reddit bot with a list of games that they have been playing and it ranks them as it recieves them.

This would be a great way to get Illyriad some exposure and possibly bring a brand new surge of players to the game. It would only take 187 to make the "Front Page" top 10, at that point hundreds of thousands of people would see Illyriad and wonder just what the heck it is.

This is an easy task, and we as a community can pull it off. Just follow the simple instructions here: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/hzp98/official_whats_rgaming_playing_statistics/" rel="nofollow - http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/hzp98/official_whats_rgaming_playing_statistics/ and we can get this thing started!

This is such an EASY task with such a wonderful community.

I rarely if ever use Reddit, but I do have an account and did do this back when you first posted. I guess we don't have a lot of Reddit crowd here. It seems to me this is just the kind of thing such communities love to approach as a group. I think more detailed attention is required to break the ice, but until this method shows much stronger output, it's far too early to post an article.

Signed. This could be a fantastic opportunity for Illyriad. Heck, right now we're tied with the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy VII...a couple of PS1 greats.

Those two were so good... I guess I could do this reddit thing.

Looking better, getting more people behind this. We're up to 12 now, up with the likes of indie hits like VVVVVV
