As mentioned a number of times, we are actively looking for ways for our players to earn servants. Today we are rolling out a ‘blog for servants’ offer! Basically, we want to reward you for helping spread the word about Realm of Empires!So, if you have a blog, know someone with a blog, write for a magazine, know someone who writes for a magazine etc, and you can either write a favorable blog, publish an article about us, or influence someone to do so, then we would like to reward you handsomely!
You do not actually have to write the article, but at least influence someone to write one. If the author will confirm you as the reason for writing the publication you will be rewarded!
Rules
- The article / blog must be favorable towards realm of empires and must include a link to http://www.realmofempires.com/
- One offer per person unless you clear it with us first
- NO SPAM! Anything that could be considered as spam is not allowed.
- This is a limited time offer.
We ultimately decide if the article/blog is acceptable for this offer and every article that is accepted will earn a minimum of 50 servants. We will then decide how much more is the publication worth based on the following:
- Popularity of the blog / magazine
- Quality of the publication (is it engaging, is it well written, proper grammar and spelling, length, presentation, how favorable it is to Realm Of Empires etc)
- Relevance of the blog / magazine to the game (an online strategy game magazine/website will be considered more relevant than a food magazine :)
- Presentation of the publication - does it include nice screen shots of the game? Does it include nice images?
How much can I expect to get?A paragraph length blog entry on a personal blog with minimum popularity will earn you 50-100 servants. Article on a relatively popular gaming website will easily earn you 10,000 servants. Get us into wired magazine, and there will be servants coming out of your … ears! :)
However, a new blog, created just for this offer, with no readers, will normally not be accepted.
Maximize your reward - Include nice images!
Feel free to use any of the game images you choose. We also creted a few nice images for you to use here: http://s650.photobucket.com/albums/uu225/RealmofEmpires/

We will review your entry and will get back to you as soon as possible ( we aim for a 5 day turn around)
Yeah, yeah, you will just not 'accept' my article won’t you!?
No, we plan to accept every entry unless it is very poorly done/trivial, does not promote us at all, or even worse, damages us. We want to encourage you to use your talents to help us grow accepting articles will help us accomplish this goal.
Can I get an estimate before going to the trouble of writing?
Definitely! If you are thinking of taking advantage of this offer, but not sure if it will be acceptable, or what the reward amount will be, submit your idea to rewards@realmofempires.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Include as much relevant information as possible.
