    International factor of FFR

    how do you explain there are so few active players at any one place outside the US
    take Europe and Brazil for example they are both very heavy internet using countries with population in the hundreds of millions combined
    yet the amount of active players is extremely low
    what brazilian kids don't enjoy the rhythmic tapping of arrows like the american ones?

      There are lots of Canadian kids too.

      And I think the main factor is that this is an English based site, and most European countries don't speak English.

          most countries learn english in school now... also, large 1st world countries who have a ton of kids on the internet tend to learn english just because the net is so english dominated.

          the reasoning? my guess? they just don't know about it. rhythm gaming in general isn't really known in those countries... no DDR/ITG... so how would they know about the online variants?

              Hey, you raise its a good point.

              International bands should be a target for fast growth on Rithum or whatever the hell they put on myspace these days

                  would FFR want them to know? the "users currently using FFR" could triple
                  i think the same people just dont know this site i write about it in gaming sites i find over here
                  but its slow getting people hooked being its a skill game where you need time to improve

                          of course we want more users. we just aren't going to spend the money to advertise... i mean, even if we did advertise, it would be to US/Canada/UK audiences, as that's where the ad revenue is. it comes down to business. and, currently, we don't advertise at all.

                                      You know how mozilla has all sorts of buttons to advertise their software? Maybe FFR could do the same.

                                          How about making an FFR browser? People like new browsers that look cool, run smoothly, and have no pop-ups. Plus, it could have add-ons that come with the program to make your FFR experience even more enjoyable. A while ago my big bro taught me how to make a browser. It's pretty complicated, but I'm sure our educated Admins can do it.

                                          Plus, it would probably get a lot more users from around this nation.

                                              I really don't think anybody but rabid FFR fans will do this. I also doubt that your brother taught you how to make a browser from scratch and was probably just a modded browser or FireFox theme. Also the admins would need to learn BASIC and possibly C++ but I'm not sure on that. They would also need to be networking guru's. Also how would ad-ons make FFR more enjoyable? Example?

                                                      And there are no speed mods. I've only played EuroMix 3 so it might be on a newer one if there is one?
