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

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.

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?

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

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

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

Pretty much other than that will break the immersion.

Yaar Podshipnik Gallente Paxton Industries Paxton Federation	Posted - 2008.10.15 13:57:00 - [31] Real-life ads have no place in EVE - thousands of years in the future, far away from earth, totally different culture(s). Ads of in-game corps/alliance - entirely different thing. As long as they are not pop-ups I would be fine with them. On a side note: I stoped watching TV because of ads, no doubt there are many people here who did the same. It would be a shame if a great world that is EVE was polluted by that crap.
Tiger313 313th Squadron	Posted - 2008.10.15 14:00:00 - [32] Gawd... people are fed up with TV because of two things: - world news is crap these days - all the farken ads Now you want to even put ads in a computer game? Dolts... lol

Mangold Einherjar Rising Cry Havoc.	Posted - 2008.10.15 16:32:00 - [37] Great idea. When I want to relax from my RL duties and enjoy a short time in a universe far away I really want to see ads from McDonald's on Republic Fleet's stations. Or even better, get a pop up every minute with a nice offer from Coca Cola. How about "no". Or to be less polite: No ****ing way. I don't really want to pay to watch ads. That would really kill the game for me. Worst idea I've heard so far on this forum and considering I've been playing since june 2003 that's kind of an accomplishment. Well done Ykaia. Now, please crawl back under your stone and never come back.

Disco Flint The Flaming Sideburn's	Posted - 2008.10.15 17:03:00 - [41] Have you checked recently if your brain is still in its place? Ads in games are a horrible idea, I avoid games with advertising ingame at all cost, should EVE ever come this far I'll gladly cancel my sub. I've got enough advertising that wastes precious minutes of my life every ****ing day out of game.
ReverseMortgage	Posted - 2008.10.15 17:28:00 - [42] No real In game advertising please. But producing and marketing quafe, maybe win. Filling in game billboards with cheesy bachelor food parodies, win. Increasing the size of the bilboards by a whole lot and letting corps advertise on them in one of the largest isk sinks ever, super win.

Ads shouldn't be everywhere, but here and there a rl add might be funny and generate extra cash for CCP ? Did you actually give any thought to this idea? 1) In-0game advertising has been played with in a few games, has rarely worked ad there's no real metric to measure any ind of business generated by such things. it's more of a novelty than anythign else - ask those companies that tried. 2) MASSIVE IMMERSION BREAKAGE - EvE is supposed to have been ISPLATED from Earth and has gone through at least one dark age - Earth 21st century companies don't even EXIST in the EvE universe. 3) Annoyance factor - You ever read the "billboards" that are alongside each gate? No? Didn't think so. 4) Bandwidth factor - Updating billboards and/or other in-game advertising would add quite a large amount of bandwidth costs fore the image downloads - the flashier the image, the more data to download - you think Jita lag is bad now? Think about it with multiple boards, or a constantly-0changing one in place. For those who said Jita lag is fixed - was there last week when 5 members of two corps at war decided toget into it - with drones yet. HELLO LAG. Overall, a resoundingly bad idea - you should be taken out and beate3n with rubber hoses just for thinking of it.

Eaon Zlion	Posted - 2008.10.15 19:34:00 - [47] get enuff muppets in RL wanting adverts, not watch much TV due to adverts and poor signals, thought the idea of EVE was a new beginning centuries and light years away from earth if CCP introduces RL adverts, will be the time to seriously consider if I want to play the game any more as adverts suck great to see adverts for Quafe as it is an in game item, next the OP will be wanting to have the in game currency taxed for RL cash ? CCP gets enough cash from the macro miner players to not need extra

Ads shouldn't be everywhere, but here and there a rl add might be funny and generate extra cash for CCP ? Are you mad? Mabe you're young so I'll explain to you what advertising is:It's an attempt by companies to hoodwink you into buying shit that you don't need for far more money than it's worth. The day when people think that adverts are a normal part of the scenery is one that I dread. Sadly that day is getting closer and your post only confirms that. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.

Kyra Felann Gallente Noctis Fleet Technologies	Posted - 2008.10.15 21:24:00 - [53] If they're ads for products that exist in New Eden in the distant future, that's fine. Ads for things that exist on modern day Earth? Hell no. CCP seem to actually care about immersion and setting, so this'd never happen. I'm ok with ads in games set in modern or near-future settings. They actually help immersion. But considering that civilization collapsed after the EVE gate closed, none of our modern day corporations would exist. Thus, having a McDonald's "I'm lovin' it!" ad in Eve would be about as immersion-breaking as an elf wizard or a pink space-unicorn. In short, this thread is fail.

Because it's one of the handful of stupid steps CCP could take to drive me away from the game. It's intrusive. I can avoid advertising on TV by not watching it. I can avoid adverts in EVE by not playing it. Simple really.

Failing that a ban for his corp being named after one of the worlds most disgustingly corrupt and criminal thieforations in the world. You want ads? Go buy yourself a huge billboard and put it in your garden so you don't have to miss out on your dose of ads. I do think the idea of individual corps advertising as a good idea, with a weekly rotation. This could bring CCP extra revenue as this would be charged in Euro's and not ISK. It'd be great seeing ads all over EVE advertising Goons, BoB, RZR, MM and other entities. Farjung is my God You people need to open your eyes and read threads before you mindlessly spam the New Thread link.
brinelan Caldari Victory Not Vengeance Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.10.16 12:08:00 - [74] I see enough ads, there are too many out there as it is.. i dont want to see a game that i pay for every month turn in to another huge ad. If you want ads in your games, there are plenty out there for ya. -------------------------- Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield

You realise you have no cloak, so you decide to make a run for the gate. You land on the gate, and there's the enemy fleet.. waiting for you. You quickly spam the jumpbutton, and get the following message. "Jumping will proceed after this ad. 3 minute ad" Yes, I would ragequit.
Daevonar Minmatar	Posted - 2008.10.16 12:40:00 - [76] Originally by: Yakia TovilToba Originally by: Jana Clant Massive immersion breakage (is that a word?), and why the hell do you want ads in the game? Ads -> more money to CCP -> CCP buys better computers -> less lag or -> CCP hires more devs -> devs create more content -> more features per update Or, people get ****ed at the adverts breaking their immerssion in the game, or at unsuitable and rubbish ads being displayed and unsubscribe. Lots of people fai lto renew their subscriptions, revenue goes down from subs, ad placing companies notice the drop in playerbase and pay less for advertising... game sinks in to low priority for CCP, lack of new content, cut back on no. of development staff, all of which feeds back to reduce no. of players which in turns make s things worse, until CCP decide to pull the plug on it.... no thanks. +1 for allowing corps and alliances to advertise on the screens tho' ... that and Empire specific 'call to arms' posters...

Varrakk Phantom Squad	Posted - 2008.10.16 12:56:00 - [77] I like Winterblink's suggestion about letting players/corps/alliances put up adds on the billboards.
Mecinia Lua Galactic Express Burning Horizons	Posted - 2008.10.16 12:58:00 - [78] Why would you want it? I mean seriously why? Not to mention that its thousands of years in the future, so why would that stuff even exist or be advertised.... Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone.

Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.10.16 13:11:00 - [80] Immersion is not a reason to say no to this, watch local for a moment, immersion is gone. Unless the introduce a forced RP, immersion will remain on screen and gone. This would create more revenue, and only about 5% would even notice billboard adds for coke-cola or some such, until someone pointed them out. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

Jack Gilligan THE MuPPeT FaCTOrY KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.16 13:17:00 - [82] Nothing would make me quit faster than advertising inside a game I AM PAYING FOR. The client pop ups "that appear only once" (yet seem to return the next week) are bad enough. Now, if you could buy ads for IN GAME stuff on the concord billboards, that would be something else. And would make the billboards actually serve a purpose. My opinions are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my corp or alliance.
Jack Gilligan THE MuPPeT FaCTOrY KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.16 13:23:00 - [83] Originally by: Gautan Virdamot Why hasn't this obvious flamebait been locked yet? The mods lock threads for less and ban posters for opposing these achtards. Possibly because CCP wants to see how we react. My opinions are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my corp or alliance.
