Yakia TovilToba Halliburton Inc.	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:32:00 - [1] Thousands of people pass systems like Jita every hour, maybe more than an advertising panel somewhere along the street of a small town. More people than visitors of certain websites, which receive solid money for advertisment banners. So why isn't there any advertisment in game, such as McDonald's logo on a Jita billboard or a coca-cola emblem on a station or a ship ? Ads shouldn't be everywhere, but here and there a rl add might be funny and generate extra cash for CCP ? _________ My e-peen

I prefer to keep my delusions about spaceships seperate from my delusions about the desirability of fast food and soft drinks. also, they wouldn't be funny, they'd be annoying, is my opinion.

Jana Clant New Dawn Corp New Eden Research	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:41:00 - [3] Massive immersion breakage (is that a word?), and why the hell do you want ads in the game? Join New Eden Research today and never worry about queues again!
Glassback Body Count Inc.	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:51:00 - [4] Get out.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:53:00 - [5] Well, immersion isn't really an issue yet and putting these in would make me notice them as much as any advert on the billboards. Would bring more revenue and the "advertisers" would think they're getting good pr. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
AlexiK	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:54:00 - [6] i like it !
Rubra J. S. Bach In memoriam	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:54:00 - [7] Edited by: Rubra on 15/10/2008 12:56:38 You're suggesting subtly that EVE become free through paid advertisements. How about "no". Removed. Navigator
Maria Kalista	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:54:00 - [8] Only if they where destructible billboards..... Originally by: CCP Mitnal You put a bear in your tea???
Dmian Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:55:00 - [9] Edited by: Dmian on 15/10/2008 12:56:47 The only reasonable thing from RL that I'd accept to be displayed on the billboards is some Sci-Fi p.r.0.n, but then you'd have lots of ships piled up in front of them... That could be great for pirates, now that I think of it. ---- Eve Alpha - The font of Eve - Get it here
Dmian Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:56:00 - [10] Originally by: Maria Kalista Only if they where destructible billboards..... They used to... that's why they added sentry guns to the billboards... Eve used to be a lot cooler in the beggining (or so I'm told.) ---- Eve Alpha - The font of Eve - Get it here
Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:57:00 - [11] No. In case you didn't get that the first time, no. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Chaos Incarnate Faceless Logistics	Posted - 2008.10.15 12:57:00 - [12] you can't just casually add ads, they grow, like an evil MMO cancer plus, the last two MMOs that I remember playing that have ads in them were Planetside and Hellgate: London, both of which are on the epic fail train __________ Sig by Neth'Rae Cannot read from face Abort, Retry, Fail? FFFFFF
Andrea Griffin	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:03:00 - [13] I wouldn't support RealLife advertising in the game - talk about destroying the game's immersion! - but allowing corporations or individuals to promote themselves via billboards would be pretty cool.
Winterblink Body Count Inc.	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:15:00 - [14] In-game advertisements are nothing new, EA has been doing it for the last couple of years with games like Battlefield 2142, Burnout Paradise, and their multitude of sports games. The result is that game prices haven't changed, the company makes more money off each game because of the advertisements, and there's zero benefit to the players other than being pulled out of the experience by a real life ad every few seconds. Would rather have more fluid and interesting advertisement schemes from in-game manufacturers, both NPC and players. warp drive active \| nature vraie

DgO4 Malevolent Evolution	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:18:00 - [16] cuz eve online is not BF2/BF2142 thank fck We are the pilgrims, Master, We will always go a little farther.....*
Scar Spice	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:23:00 - [17] Oh I like this idea - Can I suggest that with the increased revenue stream CCP might be able to either reduce the cost to us or re-enable ghost training. The ads would also need to be in stations as many Jita accounts that never undock and the random ghost training that hardly ever logs in... Oh wait, there are no more ghost trainers. Scar

Flash Bombardo Minmatar	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:24:00 - [19] Gaaah! Shaddap! Don't give them ideas like that.
Mr Manjuice	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:26:00 - [20] Great and i suppose next you will be happy when we are all running missions for the new Coca cola corp, docking in the MChappy meal station and spending our LP on the new fillet o fish mod.

If, however, CCP were to listen to you and implent the horrible thing - well, it'll probably be the last thing you ever raise. Capisce?
Marie Duvolle Toxic Tendencies	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:36:00 - [25] Edited by: Marie Duvolle on 15/10/2008 13:38:01 HUGE floating billboards, much larger than the ones we have now would actually look kinda cool/gritty/futuristic. As long as it's inline with the game and specifically tailored to EVE I don't see a problem. More options with ambulations even, what's stopping them from selling advertisement space in a bar for instance? Don't stir the hornet's nest

Ads -> more money to CCP -> CCP buys better computers -> less lag or -> CCP hires more devs -> devs create more content -> more features per update Great, just what everyone wants. More :shobon: content without fixing simple bugs that have plagued the game for years.
Grarr Dexx Amarr The Cosa Nostra La Cosa Nostra Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:48:00 - [28] Sure, but first, please instruct us about how in-character we can keep it if we advertise products of long past and memory.
Dmian Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:51:00 - [29] Originally by: Yakia TovilToba Ads -> more money to CCP -> CCP buys better computers -> less lag or -> CCP hires more devs -> devs create more content -> more features per update The only reasonable RL advertisement whould be if CCP licenced the "Quafe" brand to a beverage company and they want to advertise it ingame. Pretty much other than that will break the immersion. An important part of the game is RP (jeez!, I've just imagined Jamyl's coronation video full of Coca-Cola and McDonald's ads!... man!, that would be disgusting ) ---- Eve Alpha - The font of Eve - Get it here
