This idea is pretty simple but covers an annoying issue.. look around your favorite station.. do you see a can floating in the distance or do you see many..can litter got so bad that ccp actually changed how the can works in order to cut back on litter.. since most cans are placed as adverts for some corp or to show a web-page were you can buy another corps items it seems that this fix would have been done long ago.. to me it seems this simple, use billboards...
Billboards.. it seems in a product driven world we would see more of these.. in reality they are everywhere every intersection every stop light even in the middle of nowhere.. in eve we only see them at the gates.. we get our news from them and see adverts for quafe and pirates.. this idea expands on that already existing technology.
1. Place a billboard near the exit point for each station. pretty simple. 2. let the ceo of the corp set up adverts for their corp..not so simple. simular to how an office is rented , an advert on the billboard can be rented with a simple corp logo (already found in game) and a few characters of print that can be custom ( barring rude, lude or otherwise foul words). 20 to 30 letters should be enough to get a simple point across to the reader. (linking to the corp office can be done but for now keep it simple). the cost would be based simular to the office rental the more ppl in a system the higher the price and space can be limited just like office space is. the point will be to provide an area for players and corps to be creative and as the idea catches on only the poor corps will use cans to advert themselves, sence the desire would be to have a picture (logo) and a few words. this can be expanded even further with link capable text or direct links to the browser. also showing join tabs or a simple list of the spaces. limits could include only one corp advert per system or per board. and of course wording with in the limits of public conduct and under ccp control..the future could be opened widely to contracts in the region, low cost market items and much more. but to get started with the basic idea, a corp logo and custom lettering. is what we wish to get started.
so hands up what do you think

This idea, regardless of its quality, could be implemented only if CCP finds the lines for billboard code amongst the millions in the database.
Yes, the billboard code lines are lost. Even CCP doesn't know where they are or how to adjust them. -- This signature is red. |

Ban the damn spam cans by placing a limit on the number of letters that a can name can contain, 10 should be enough. The billboard idea is neat that is why I am supporting it. But the can spamming is getting out of hand. Either make it a banable offense to advertise with cans ,it is not their purpose, or limit the name length. Want to recruit new members use the damn forums. Flame me I dare you. |

Can spam is so popular and prevalent because there is no ingame alternative the idea for ads has been suggested in many forms and CCP isn't interested, able to do it, or just too busy with other things to do it.
I support additional methods to allow players/corporations to advertise their goods/corps/what have you.

Now don't put a bug in CCPs collective ears... they might want to start advertising the latest in Intel CPU technology or what not.
I'm all for it as long as the contents of said ads are strictly game related

while I like the idea of renting Billboard space, I think people will still use cans.
Can names appear on the overview. Billboard messages wouldn't (unless there's a significant change). How many people have the actual billboards on their overview settings, let alone read them?

i agree but also limit the number of billboards a corporation can use and make the names of the cans either shorter or generic to anyone outside of their alliance to quit any further container advertisers.
