Ms Kat Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.07.03 14:07:00 - [1] - Quote Checked my facebook page to find a Eve online update: "Involved in the massive player war going on right now? Make a video, write a blog post, record some audio or make some propaganda?" This is basicaly begging the community to advertise even make advertisements for the game. Has it really deteriorated so much since I last logged on?

OT I like the player created videos and the like. Some of them display real talent, which is nice to see from the community. It just so happens to advertise as well, so why wouldnt it be encouraged?

I don't blame CCP for not wanting to sit on the 319 undock for a few hours to maybe catch some footage of Nagas or something undocking and being blown up...

Anuillae Fourneaux EVE University Ivy League 3	Posted - 2012.07.03 14:20:00 - [6] - Quote EVE is about the players. CCP has always advertised it as such. Players have always done far more to advertise and sell the game than anyone else, even CCP. I see absolutely no issue with encouraging contributions to the game from the community. And really, I think far more EVE players are going to see the Delve propaganda than potential recruits, don't you? Besides, what gave you the impression that CCP is making cuts? I don't think encouraging players to advertise is indicative of a fall in advertising from CCP.

Id call it innovative thinking by their marketing department rather than it being a sign of budget cuts.

Lin-Young Borovskova Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 404	Posted - 2012.07.03 14:26:00 - [11] - Quote 0/10 very bad troll The best publicity you will ever have is your happy customers. Happy customers, specially in video games do what? -Trailers and videos/streams !! brb

I just found it not only supprising, but a little tasteless to see that posted from a game used to love I could see how the overt nature of the request could make you feel that way. I'm sure CCP isn't going to replace traditional advertising with this, however, every little bit sure helps. So why not encourage it. Granted, CCP has little control over content though, so Malicious portrayals of the game could probably be done to; but seriously, most people that put the effort into making a video etc will probably portray the game in a "positive" light. I for one was brought in because of an awesome article on cracked.com, the 5 biggest ** moves in MMO history. This sort of non traditional advertising can be very effective. It is also not uncommon for businesses to ask people to tell their friends, meaning requesting word of mouth advertising. So this is really no different except the media to be used has way more potential for distribution and influence. "To destroy is always the first step in any creation." - E. E. Cummings**

Gun Gal Dark Club 20	Posted - 2012.07.03 14:29:00 - [14] - Quote Ya, op, your a hater alright. 1/10 for missing the point entirely. 0/10 for not realizing a fair chunk of the eve playerbase is not only smart, but more than capable

Begging the community to plug a product they obviously know better then the owners do seems to be a good ply in my eyes bravo for CCP in that respect. Things going 'viral' is a marketing tool everyone & thier mothers in advertising are trying to do right now using this shotgum approach to produce ALOT of stock footage is a wise thing for CCP marketing IMHO. The day that CCP 'fixes' stop sucking is the day they start fixing vaccum cleaners
Forum Clone 77777 State War Academy Caldari State 27	Posted - 2012.07.03 16:13:00 - [16] - Quote The players would get way more interesting video/sound of the battles than the devs. I doubt CCP Devs have magic powers to tap in and listen on the players comms etc.

Lipbite Express Hauler 125	Posted - 2012.07.03 17:22:00 - [19] - Quote Nothing new. If you check latest "expansions" you can recognize EVE is on backburner for a couple of years already. Thanks to WoD and Dust projects.

CCP have sent out surveys and found that most people who play the game long term have found out about the game from other players.. this just makes sense... player made ads can be very good.
