It's really quite simple and promises to bring in more traffic than we've seen in a long long time...

Altren/Grug/etc... why aren't there any "Like on Facebook" buttons scattered all over the game/forums/wiki?

I totally agree!!

I've been pushing for a facebook integration for a long time.

I wrote a long marketing proposal for Jed once, and it included making this game have an interface on facebook (allowing users to actually play it through facebook, in a farmville-like window), which would dramatically boost traffic to playing the game.

Facebook totally annoys me.

I have 3 little sisters though and they're full blown facetards. So.. yeah.. facebook is totally stupid.

Sorry for the mini rant. It's probably a good idea. Idk.. I gave up on social networking after myspace.

Doesn't have to be a full-blown app... that will entail work and time which the guys may not be able to put in right now, but the like button... that's quick and easy.

I AGREE. Button would be much easier and quicker.

Long term plan should include an app though.. It wouldn't be all that hard, as it basically involves an already built web-interface being scaled to fit in a different size window.

Studying abroad forced me to register on fb (really didn't have it before).. so yea I'm there as well.

One of the few things I did was hitting the like button of one of my favorite bands - Within Temptation.

aaand I really like the way they do stuff on fb;
they post news there every now and then - regarding their tours, regarding their lifes, sites, changes, anything. This keeps them in mind of their fans, keeps them 'informed'. On top of that we even get previews links and such there .. overall really good deal. IF we get that TFW page which there already is alive and going in this spirit, it could help for start :)
(I agree some sort of fb-like app would be good, on the other I hand I HATE the idea that it'd be fully playable from there. Makes me sick.)

I.E. "Hey, new tourney is about to start, do you already have your tickets?" could be translated into "Hey, new Domain is up, don't forget to join!"
or "Sharon has just returned from hospital and is perfectly fine" => "Altren is back from his holidays & ready to deal with your requests, so [bring them on]<hyperlink>!"

Perhaps the "campaigns" could be playable in facebook!!! And that would get users sucked into coming to the site to play the two player matches!
