Make a post or two on the forum (but don't spam!) and you should be able to hype, I think. But don't just give it a flat 10 - I've heard that MMORPG.com cleans out extreme ratings like 0s and 10s occasionally to prevent skewing.

Yes, after I made a couple of forum posts and went back today, it let me vote. I hyped it at 9. Thanks for the suggestion(s). Woot!

3....2....1....Let the WoW community trolling begin.

The WoW community on the forums is absolutly shocking. Now I know this is not the nicest way to describe people and I dont make a habbit of it but they are spacks

So much so that I dont even go anywhere near the offical forums. I've never been anyway where the mods get abuse hurled at them its not a nice place.

I just stick with my guilds forum GO GO NULLI SECUNDUS. But I found your post and gave it a nice little bump

thanks mate. I dont normally escape from the realm forums (earthen ring) or the mage forum (however i'm staying clear at the moment because of all the changes to the class) I'd love to see someone from blizzard show thier support. I know i would if i was them.

Well, unless they're playing video games, in which case heros die a lot too.

I signed up for an account at MMORPG but it won't let me post messages until I've authenticated my account. Apparently this requires that I first receive an e-mail from them... but no e-mail has arrived. I am certain that I entered the mailing address correctly (I've checked).

Yeah, took my email for authenication about 10 mins. to arrive. Do you have another email address? Could you sign up, using a slightly different name and try it then? If you need a throw away G-mail address, I'm happy to send you an invite to G-Mail.

Fortunately, there's an option at the activation page to re-issue an activation code. I selected that, and this time I got an e-mail.

Never mind that it couldn't be a "reissue" as I never got the first one, but my account is now activated.

Edit:

I thought I should add a few words about "playing the system" on MMORPG.com. If you check their FAQ on calculating rank, you'll see that ranking is not based on the number of posts, but rather the information you provide (quantity and quality). Apparently, visiting the site daily will help, too. I'm not sure how forum posts are measured for quality (I don't know how they'd personally review every forum post), but I believe it behooves all of us to remain well behaved. We are, after all, representing the Uru community! How, then, to "play the system?" Note, this is only a suggestion...

Well, while we could encourage people to bounce over to urulive.com for more information, we shouldn't. When I added my post to the end of the Rand Miller interview forum announcement, I specifically encouraged newcomers interested in Uru to post questions right there so I could answer them right there. By taking the opportunity to answer questions helpfully and informatively in the MMORPG.com forums, we'll build rank and gain the privilege to hype the game more.

Now behave: Don't go pretending to be a new person just to ask mock questions. That's not playing fair. But: Do seek to answer people's questions there, rather than directing them here. The idea is to build publicity over there. People who are interested enough will click in the "links" category for the game and find their way here. If someone asks for the direct URL, go ahead and give it to them, but otherwise don't hand it out too freely because I think what we want to do is generate traffic and awareness over at MMORPG.com.

If anyone thinks my suggestion above is out of line, feel free to let me know...

What browser are you using?
