Audition was actually covered in an interview by IGN last month.. o_o:

You know this game is getting big when a game site as big as IGN is giving it coverage and saying that there are over 120 million registered players.. (except.. why is it in the RPG vault?) X_x
Anyways, it made me think about how I started the game, and the people I got to start lol. I actually started it out of curiosity after hearing it from my friend's (xenon_exe in game) friend (Arasthil? MrSmiley? Can't remember.. don't think they play anymore) talking about it, so I told her I'd try it and tell her how it was. After trying it out, I promptly told her to get downloading, and her nephew too (midori). After that, I told two of my high school friends about it (Insomniac and Ellora), who always try out MMO's with me lol. After that... I got a friend from university to register and play.. but I don't think she kept playing (InsaneKitten). And just recently, I tracked down one of my friends from the 1st grade (yea.. you heard me right) in Facebook, and after all these years she had somehow turned into a gamer when I moved away.. and I showed her my youtube videos and she promptly said OMG I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME! ADDICTION ALERT! So.. potentially a new player in our midst soon? She's in Sweden, so our time zones make it hard to catch each other. In any case, I gave her the SEA url and I promised I'd introduce her to the game the next chance I got lol....
So hmm.. that makes 5 people I got to play the game, 4 people who still play to this day, and possibly 1 newcomer soon, unless she's playing already and I don't know.. XD. Dunno why.. but there's tons of gamers in Vancouver.. @_@..
How about everyone else? I know someone made a thread about how they got started playing Audition, but are there any stories about how they sucked other people in? 120 million people.. there's gotta be a few stories..
Oh, another interesting story... I didn't include this in my numbers, but I got a comment in one of my youtube videos of this person thanking me because his/her friend said they'd only start playing Audition if their favorite song was in the game, which was Freestyle - Y.. XD; So that video happened to have that song and that person was overjoyed that he/she finally got the friend to play... didn't see that coming. :lol:
