MPOGD -- Higher top 100 ranking
« on: June 16, 2008, 05:07:16 pm »
Out of the top 100 multi player online games on the hugely massive www.mpogd.com, 4dimensions is ranked 68th. Not bad... then again only 8 people have voted for 4d. Lets triple the number of top 100 votes ;)

68   4 Dimensions   8   0.05%

~An avid 4d player  :P

Sure - but how do you vote on that site?
It's probably just me being stupid, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

It seems to be that 1) you must be registered and 2) once you find 4Dimensions (probably easier to do it by name - look under #'s), click on the name and then you'll see a few boxes with information in them.  In the bottom right is AVE. PLAYER RATING.  Under whatever the average rating is (currently as of this post it was 9) there is a link to Rate it!  Click that and if you're registered you should be able to rate it.  I'm not positive from there as I saw the "you must be registered to rate the game" part and exited out.

Its simple:
On the mainscreen there is a GOTM(game of the month) box. On the bottom left of this box there is a link that reads VOTE!
4Dimensions is right near the top of the list.

Make sure you only vote once or your IP will be perm ban'd from being counted. No need to register to vote for GOTM. This website is how I found 4d :)

It's not simple.

Either I'm totally stupid, or the site is extremely user unfriendly, at least when it comes to voting.
Not only can I not find the VOTE link when I click on Game of the month, I also cannot figure out how to register, and without registering you cannot rank the game.

This might be why I cannot find the other vote link too. Perhaps you need to be registered for it to show up.

I'm with Molly, no "Sign Up" or "Register" button in sight, the entire website looks to be far more based around advertising "Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures" than about being user friendly. In fact its layout breaks almost every good web design rule of thumb.

I admit, I had to search a bit too, but there's no need to register to vote for 4d as Game of the Month on that site.

If you however wish to rate the game you have to register.

Anyway as Whichondoyou already pointed out for the non registering part:


At the mainpart (centerpart) of the page, you've got two boxes (Under the title Multiplayer games... that's all we do).

First box is titled News. The second box is titled GOMT.

In that second box you see centered 'May winner: Runescape' followed by a list of 5 games. 

The last line (underneath the 5th game) of that second box is: 

'VOTE!               Total Votes: 15951                 Top 100'

Now just click on 'VOTE!'.

You'll then get a list of the games you can vote for and 4Dimensions should be pretty high in that last.  So click on it and you've voted then for 4D as Game of the Month.

And while you're at it, don't forget to vote on the voting links on our own webpage either  ;)

Hmm, do you mean once per day, once per month, or once period?

We already have 6 vote buttons on our website.
On all those you are supposed to vote once per day, although I think very few of our players do it, or we'd probably be higher on the lists.

I guess we could add one more button, if the site is a popular one. But if you only get to vote there once per months, it's probably not a good idea.

Yeah, we're lazy, I only vote on one site because it's the one where voting is done the fastest and easiest. (MudMagic)
