Make your content easy to share
I did a little experiment this morning. I uploaded a 40 second video of Mylixia dancing to Michael Jackson’s Bad to Facebook. It was a post to encourage people interested in League of Legends to check out his teaching stream. It was deleted – copyrighted content. I could appeal under fair use but it proves my point perfectly.
His stream does not have the archives publicly available, his site is kind of bare, and his social media points back to either Twitch (stream) or the site. His YouTube has no content. In other words, if you don’t see the stream live, you miss out and if you want to share it with others, it’s hard. His community would be larger if his content wasn’t more closed down than a private profile on Facebook.
If you are interested in building a community, giving subscribers (people paying to see your content) benefits is great but in every community there will almost ALWAYS be more non-paying people than paying…and those people will draw paying people to the community by spreading the word. Their voice in spreading the word can be more valuable than the money coming from the subsribers.
Make it easy to share your content.
Final Fantasy 14: ARR #4 – Maint. is done. Can you play?
Today is the day all problems are supposed to be resolved. As I am uploading this, the servers are coming online. People are reporting a queue instead of errors. Digital sales are not open yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed things continue to run smoothly.

Final Fantasy 14 #3 – History, lore and combat
Getting further into the game, I take a look at the history of the game, some of the lore of the game world and I finally have my first fight!

Final Fantasy 14 #2 – A warm welcome
I normally don’t play little people in games but this toon is precious. As we learn about our new surroundings, I talk about EVE and the rise in ganking. Watch yourself! Next time, I’ll talk about lore. I will be more prepared! :)
There will be one League of Legends video tomorrow then back to Final Fantasy 14, talking about some lore, the world, and me getting to know more about the game. As of 9/1/13, digital downloads are still suspended and there are still numerous problems with logins that they are working hard (it seems) to resolve.
*The game has been released and it does require a subscription.*

The intro movie and character creation. This footage was recorded during beta. The game has been released and it does require a subscription. The game is beautiful – absolutely beautiful.

Smite #4 – 1st REAL Arena with Neith
I changed my mind and went straight into an arena. Haha, um…speechless.
Smite #3 – Tutorial Arena with Neith
This is my THANG! I had no idea what I was doing and what the agenda was but I love this casual arena. This is where I will most likely have my first game.
Smite #2 – Neith vs. Ra (Jousting)
This is the next part of the tutorial. There was only one god to pick from, which is does not give a new player much practice. However, all the gods are supposed to be playable so there is a way to test them out without having to wait for free weeks. That is VERY good. I had fun.
Smite #1 – Trying Smite (Neith)
I was asked when I was going to try Smite. This seemed like a good time. I’m glad I did. The camera positioning puts a completely different spin on the MOBA genre.
And Neith…yeah…she’s hot.
League of Legends #8 – I FINALLY get it! AP vs. AD (Skarner)
I finally found a champion that I like playing. I mean, I really enjoy playing him. His abilities make sense, he fits my play style, and I’m learning how to make an efficient build for him. I also turned out Smart Casting. I like it much better, at least on this champion.
Shame he has pink on him and he is being re-worked. Depending on how much I like Lucian, maybe I’ll skin him.
