i read that, and it won't encourage those who DON'T vote, since if they vote or don't vote they still get reward points
such players will only think about voting if there's an item they wanna buy
and not vote for the Server like i do

Hi

I went to the vote site and voted on most of the sites listed.
The ones that I could read the code I had to type in. LOL

The ones that have a 12 hour reset show that I have voted but I only get credit for one point.

Is this the way it's supposed to work?

After typing in the code, did you click the truewow banner and thus get redirected to our vote site page?

P.S. If you can't read the captcha then refresh it and try reading the new one they give you. Some sites won't count the vote if you type the captcha in wrong but they will let you proceed. Stupid right?

Here is a nice guide by Phaedra http://www.truewow.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6480 or you can visit the TrueWoW YouTube channel and watch the video by Peithne.

Iv'e been told that if you type the wrong captcha, you will get the vote point, but Truewow wont.

topg.org is erroring out when I vote. Been this way for the last week or 2. Clicking the banner just redirects to a page saying the url is incorrect. It wont send me back to Truewow vote page and I don't get the point for it.

I decided not to post the vote positions on the main page just yet because of the important news. I don't want that news to be dug down. I'll post them here now and in the next 24/48 hours you'll all get your reward!

Because one site was broken and two for half a week i decided to add topg.org to the 'beaten list' because our votes were crippled by a bug on our side. That bug should be fixed soon, we tried a few things but it didn't work :(

Lastly, i was thinking...same records don't get anything? So i was thinking to just give 10 points per same records. So if we beat 9 records that's 150 points and the 10th site was the same so +10 = 160 points and obviously if we lose a spot, 0 points +/- "Inter what the hell are you talking about man?" Read this then :P

10 vote points - 3 records beaten
20 vote points - 4 records beaten
40 vote points - 5 records beaten
60 vote points - 6 records beaten
90 vote points - 7 records beaten
120 vote points - 8 records beaten
150 vote points - 9 records beaten
200 vote points - 10 records beaten



10 vote points - 1 records maintained
20 vote points - 2 records maintained
30 vote points - 3 records maintained
40 vote points - 4 records maintained
50 vote points - 5 records maintained
60 vote points - 6 records maintained
70 vote points - 7 records maintained
80 vote points - 8 records maintained
90 vote points - 9 records maintained
100 vote points - 10 records maintained



The month of August is now over (holy cow Christmas is coming...!)

I have not forgotten about this. Some have approached me 'INTER WHERE'S MY VOTE POINTS?'. I was initially waiting for Spermik players to arrive here. That was before you guys knew about it and then we were attacked. So as soon as this all clears up i owe everyone vote points from this and also from 1,000 facebook likes :)

I would just like to know, I see some voters getting 10p every 12H but 1 site is down, where are they voting?

I am missing 1p is that because my captcha was wrong? (Not that it matters, just want to know)

I'm sure you are aware of this, there is a flaw in the "Vote site challenge" that if less people vote/don't vote on other servers we'd automatically go up/down in ranks, but month total votes are a better benchmark eg. "Last month openwow: 12th - 3475 votes. | This month, 12th - 3204 votes." this actually never remained the same (12th), Truewow had less votes.

Agree the voting system is purely to promote Truewow, nevertheless the items that can be bought with VP is a really nice bonus.

Yeah we are aware. It's the second last site on the list i believe from memory. We've tried 3 things to fix it so far and all have failed...

I believe you can attain all 10 votes by changing your IP address, easy to do if yours is dynamic, harder to do if you don't have a dynamic IP.

Someone like @Flexall has more knowledge about this and can help you out.

As for positions, yes true we got less votes but overall we stayed in the same place but you do have a point. But again, that can't be accurate. For example, a site might be down for some people or down completely and other variables so i think it would be fairer to go by position. Nobody has complained yet :P

But like you said, it's just an initiative. I know it can be flawed and such but rewarding people for their efforts beyond what they already get is a great idea i think :)

How to vote if another account with your same IP already did

That's the method that Flexall himself told me.

Thank you you two on the quick and informative replies and so we (Ermm... meaning me) learn ;)

I see you would get many problems with the voting system either way one goes about it. But I must admit the current system is the easier and the most exciting watching the server climb in ranks and hoping it doesn't drop. By focusing on the amount of votes is unnecessary micro management :P

Thanks for the advice and now other "noobs" like me can also know what to do ;)

Thanks Alexandros, I will have a look at Anonymox momentarily ... Now to get it to work on Utorrent :D
