When you want to, (Prob best when at least in open beta) you could hold a video contest. Have your players make video submissions tell people about the game. Best submission would win, and at the end you would have lots of videos about the game to help advertise and a kind of video review for the game as well. The winner could be a VIP, or you can just give the person a certain amount of Item Mall points they would usually buy with real money.


2. GM Assistance: For games without too much funds to hirer GMs, or just need a little extra hand you could try getting GM Assistance. On Dream Of Mirror Online their called Game Sages. What they would do is each month put up an application form. You could apply for GS and if you were picked, you would be able to assist GMs in hosting events and activities and helping to keep the game in order. And help settle "fights" or arguements.
both are good ideas but i dislike the second idea. because ive played too many games with a similar GM assistance system and it got abuse quite easy.

here are a few example that i had experienced:
* they would warn their friend/guildies of places not to bot( if the game is an anti-bot game) or when not to bot because the gms are looking for botter
*when theres a hide and seek game they would tell their friend/guildies where the gm is hiding or will tell in advance what the event is going to be.
*they would be an easy excess tool to the gm to get help.
