Project LFG is LIVE!!

[Baler]

I was going to make a similar site. Nice work hope it gets some attention.
One thing I would recommend adding is automatic removal of groups/people lfg because what will happen is people will go offline and not set lfg to off on the site. I'd do a 1 hour auto lfg/lfm off.

Another idea is a button people can press that makes a popup box appear with a pre-made message that can be copied then pasted in game like..
/tell <NAME> Hello I saw you are LFG want to party?

Also maybe make Show All the default tab so people see that other people are using it.

This is a very valid point.

It's already set to remove any records that have not been updated within an hour. Also it will delete all references to the character if you close the browser / tab [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fantastic. Hope the people this would help find it and use it.

Although you may want to have it listed on the page that closing out of the page will remove them from the tool. People might not realize that and assume they can just toss their name on the list and close out, having it still be there. Just a simple "Closing this page removes you from the tool" statement.

Hey! It is up and running. You might just be the only one on it right now. I launched it last night and I have been trying to spread the word about it but it has not caught on just yet. I didn't expect it to catch on over night. I saw about 6 people on it earlier and just 1 right now. Give it time and keep on using it. The more people that continue to try and use it the more and more it will encourage others to do the same. It will eventually catch on and making grouping so much easier.

You heard that correctly! I got frustrated seeing people shout throughout the lands of Norrath – “Ranger LFG!” I felt bad for those poor Rangers! I wanted to do something about it…[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What I basically did was create a web application to bring the /lfg feature to Project 1999. It was an in-game feature released in a later expansion after Velious. That means it will never be available in-game on the Project 1999 server. I think it’s such an essential tool for bringing people together. After all – we are getting older with more responsibilities and need to maximize our productivity with the limited time we have to play. No one should be spending hours /lfg

Without further ado: ProjectLFG.com

Happy grouping! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its this kinds of things that make me want to keep playing this game.

I've been making note of some of the suggestions I have heard and will work on implementing those in the future. I'd like to see a larger number of people using it first...I've got a couple hundred hours into the application already hehe.

I added some verbiage to the page as well to point out some valid points and also explain a little bit how the application works.

Hope everyone continues to use it and the adoption rate climbs! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
