Is there any artificial way to temporarily boost popularity like there used to be? There's no way to test maps without a quick boost 0.o It used to be that I'd boost it to the 4-5th page, and then it would get enough traffic to go up by itself from there.... but there is no way I'll get any traffic when I'm number 500 on the list, and I'd really like some testing done :)
Not to mention getting new versions more popular than old versions... this problem is even worse than it was in phase 1.
if this is true then how the hell am i going to test my map? are you sure there isn't a way to invite a friend in? im guessing that's the only way for now.
@cinicraft: Go
1. create party
2. Click create game
3.Click the drop-down menu that has popular and other choices, Choose my published.
Think that should work(haven't tried but seems like it should work) for private testing not so much for much else
after playing a different custom game with someone invite them to test your map with you. Lots of people are pretty good about playing new maps. Also eventually blizzard should add chat channels which should make it easier to ask people to join your map.

I haven't tested it, but I'm sure you can invite friends in.

They changed it so you can update a new version without losing the popularity of the old version. So stick with a map name!
