A place to just hang out.

MMO Owners continue to sell out

Postby Socco » Sun Aug 14, 2005 6:20 pm

Planetside has now joined others in in-game advertising.

I don't need to be any more distracted in battle. Sure, maybe if Planetside lacked a monthly fee, I could completely understand ads. But I don't need a full motion ad for a Jeep Grand Cherokee when I'm trying to stay alive. And for $13 a month, you expect better from SOE.

What do you guys think?

P.S. We need to make the links a red or at least a different color. You can't see links unless your mouse pointer goes over it. :(

But everything else looks GREAT! :D

Forum links or main site?

As for the advertising yep it sucks but may help keep PS alive. My guess is that its not a big money maker for SOE so anything that can help might be welcomed by the PS regulars.

good call I updated it to a shade of red. I wish I could just change the links in posts but the setting effects all the links.

The red looks good with the color scheme of the site.

I like the Ad's it makes everything a little less Disconnected from the real world.

I don't mind the ads, just wish they would try and make them look a little more in line with the genre.
