    Where did you get the idea that they were putting ads in game?

    Hes just trying to make another big debate like the one about environment turning into being about invisible walls.

    Whoah, I thought you were just joking. Then I went to 'that site' and found the screenshot of the in game notice...

    I honestly have no idea how they could put advertising like that in and still maintain an atmosphere that feels like conan. Unlike AO which is futuristic enough that people don't care, it really wouldn't work here. Only thing I can think of is, maybe an image or something in the launcher or when you are loading up for whatever they are trying to advertise.

    Tsk tsk.

    In game ads suck but I have no idea how they're gonna implement them.

    A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

    Its not true, they are not putting in game ads, the OP is just starting more bullshit rumors about the game.

    As for Tkreep, denial is the 1st stage.

     Maybe they'll tatto the ads onto topless female npcs, because that'll be the first thing alot of players will look at

    Looking at the way they handled advertisement in AO, I very much doubt we'll see anything of the kind in AoC. Subscribers need not worry.

  • BigdavoBigdavo Member UncommonPosts: 1,863

    So can anyone confirm for sure that AoC will have in-game ads during actual gameplay or loading screens or what?

    Or have I fallen victim to another troll thread?

    O_o o_O

  • XasapisXasapis Member RarePosts: 6,337

    There was an interview about this matter posted on these forums regarding online advertisement. I clearly remember that the Funcom representative was adamant about no advertisements in AoC. Things change over time of course, but given the prior history of the company, they never put ads on the subscription paid part of their previous MMO, AO. So I don't see it happening in this either.

     

    Can't find it on the client to cross reference either.

  • miagisanmiagisan Member Posts: 5,156

    i would severely doubt that even Funcom would allow advertising in a paid sub game..even they aren't that stupid. I am kinda concerned about the info being collected though

    Pretty standard deal I'm afraid. I think WoW started it (could be wrong though, could be earlier than that).

    @ OP

     - I doubt, they'll go as far as having huge 'Greeco Pizza' billboards in the wilds. 

     - I, also, doubt the use of scenerio adds;

     ... You've just finished your destiny quests and it's time to meet the man himself.

    (You approach)...(Conan rises from the throne to greet you)...(A poor, wretched child runs passed reaching out to the King.) 

    "Hey mister!?  You look like you could use a drink." (Hands off a bottle of Coke)...

      - Annoying, as it would be, having a poster add as you login might be a possibility. ../shrug

      - A better use would be a bulletin board in a trade post or tavern, where you could just double click on it and check it out. (Mmm, Guiness!)

    I hope they add the pizza-hut thing they did in everquest :D

    Ahh, I missed out on EQ but that's what I was 'kind of' thinking of, too.
