The title more or less sums this up. Perhaps one way towards getting people interested in the game would be to follow the current media trends...
Bushcast
We have an update from Azzer on the Overview page? Well what if Azzer put out a podcast about the game? Could be more like a 30 minute radio-type snippet on a weekly basis that features:
- Plans for the game, moving forward.
- Current tweaks and modifications.
- Spotlight on current in-game activity, and players in particular.
- Special guest speaking from current players to review the game. ("I Love Bushtarion", a bit like the "I Love Football" from Soccer AM).
- Special guest speaking from current players to talk tactics and current politics...
Heck, somebody could even put on some of my Bushraps XD I have an extensive back catalogue
You get the drift... Flexibility aplenty. When you consider alot of people have iPhones/iTunes and listen to things on Buses, trains, int he car etc, it's another way of reaching people. Both to bring in new players, and maintain those already here. I consider interactivity and engagement from the creators/player base to be a key part of staying with something... It shows a sense of community.

As for the other side of it, what about a Bushtarion youtube account? Get a couple of videos together of Azzer talking about Bushtarion, or even make compilations that feature players talking about the game.
So you could have Tutorial videos of Azzer simulating a battle report, explaining how AR works, explaining the principles of alliance play, solo play, pure-solo play etc etc... Little personal elements that will both help new players learn the game, and potentially keep them interested in staying.
Discuss.
