promote first, release later

Anyone who would be remotely interested in playing on this server already know about it.

The only "promotion" is really just Pep Rallys for us and those who already lurk around here waiting.

Besides nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd, let the real promotion be when they hear 500+ logged in playing Red. Hearing 30 people on the beta won't be attracting anyone new.

I highly doubt that. The whole P99 community knows about it and most players from other custom servers know about it. But there are certainly many more who might be interested in playing on P99 Red, Blue, whatever. The devs are going the right way with their production of Youtube vids. And we can cross-post in other communities - don't underestimate how many people you may attract with a single thread! Server pop is essential for our long-term fun.

I'm a good example myself: I had been looking for a classic EQ experience for a very long time, and I had followed the EQClassic project. Still I only found out about P99 8 long months after initial release.
