DirtyHarry	Posted - 2006.06.18 17:36:00 - [31] Also forgot to say CCP advertising on an IGE site = LAWL -Havo ------------------- DirtyHarry ~ Havocide - yarr tbh "Take from the rich and put it on eBay" - zincol
Celedris	Posted - 2006.06.18 17:46:00 - [32] Originally by: DirtyHarry Also forgot to say CCP advertising on an IGE site = LAWL I found it a little odd considering CCP's stance on selling in-game goods for real-world money. I'm assuming (hoping?) that CCP's marketing people don't know the site is owned by IGE.

A retard would have the sence to look up who owns a site before advertising on it nevermind a marketing dept. -Havo ------------------- DirtyHarry ~ Havocide - yarr tbh "Take from the rich and put it on eBay" - zincol
Amerame	Posted - 2006.06.18 17:59:00 - [34] Originally by: DirtyHarry Thottbot has always been owned by IGE.com, it used to be a private tool supplied with information and used by gold farmers to help them level as fast as possible and also to make the most gold/hr at lvl60. Uh ? Thottbot was initially owned by ... Thott a famous EverQuest player, leader of the guild Afterlife, they were anything but gold farmers.

DirtyHarry	Posted - 2006.06.18 18:06:00 - [36] Seems you were right and wrong, "The original Thottbot was a news aggregator created by Aftathott, founder of Everquest uberguild Afterlife. Its purpose was to comb various video game websites for news and information on a number of MMORPGs with a focus on Everquest. Though the primary site is now used for the World of Warcraft database, the news aggregator still exists as a sister site." - wikipedia Anyway the fact remains IGE own it and recieve all the revenue from advertising on its site, meaning CCP are paying IGE money... o Kieron where art thou? -Havo ------------------- DirtyHarry ~ Havocide - yarr tbh "Take from the rich and put it on eBay" - zincol
Celedris	Posted - 2006.06.18 18:24:00 - [37] Originally by: DirtyHarry A retard would have the sence to look up who owns a site before advertising on it nevermind a marketing dept. To be fair, I think IGE tries to obfuscate the fact that they own their gaming sites by using a holding company. I believe thottbot is/was owned by the Ogaming network, which in turn is owned by IGE. I doubt they try to inform a potential advertising client about who owns what. Also, I just went to Ogaming.com, and low and behold they are running EVE adds there too. I can certainly see how someone in a marketing dept might fail to do enough background research to see that IGE owns these sites. Some good background info about IGE in case anyone wants to know.
