Neverwinter - the best thing to happen to MMORPG.com

expressoexpresso Member UncommonPosts: 2,218

Those dubious softcore, boarding on child pornography ads (Scarlet Blade) have been replaced by honest ads for Neverwinter.  huzzah!

No matter what anyone thinks of Neverwinter as a game it should be applauded for what it has done for this website.

    Agreed. It was getting really annoying. I'm glad we're now done with the endless barrage of threads from posters who have been traumatized by seeing a scantily-clad woman for the first time.

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    Don't worry, the last time the SB ads came down, they were back up the next day.

    I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

    You know why those SB ads are being kept up here though?

    Because people are clicking through them.

    Even 'cheap', if it is indeed that in terms of the internet, costs money and if it wasn't generating clicks then they wouldn't be up.

    In short it's safe to say that an apprecable part of the user base here (of which only a tiny fraction actively posts) at the least dosen't mind them or isn't offended by them. A lot of people probably actually like them and find them of interest.

Not to mention I'm pretty sure MMORPG.COM is making a profit off of hosting this website. The cost of hosting a website is roughly $11.00 a month.

    You really don't know much about hosting.  While I'm sure they make a profit.  I guarantee they are paying hundreds if not thousands for the servers.

     

    Also I imagine the ads get a certain amount of views based on a price and there is probably a premium that you can pay to get the day or something (like neverwinter).

    I agree.  Funny enough,  TODAY is the day MMORPG says "We notice you have an adblocker" and I'm sitting here going... huh I see ads.  So I click it to get some backing because I'll support these ads.  :-)  I don't feel like a pedo coming here (though the discussion in the other forum is getting a bit intense now that they still haven't hit their funding)
  • FluxiiFluxii Member Posts: 184
    If you've even watched a tame Anime, that crap was really nothing. The fact that some of y'all keep seeing "Pedo" shit, makes me question you more than anything else. Especially since this crap coming from gamers who should be used to far worse...


    Do a little soul searching... maybe you have the problem.


    I don't support the game and in fact said how hypocritical it was of them to put the ads up after they blasted the game... (in another thread) but not because of what was being shown, because it seemed to be something they didn't endorse. I got blasted for calling them out and now a month later people come up with these reasons?

    Think some of you are missing the point. If you come to this site while in a public place, such as a cafe, park, or workplace, people passing by that don't know any better think you're looking at hentai.
  • IkedaIkeda Member RarePosts: 2,751

     No internal searching needed... I like my women like I like my wine... aged just a bit.  :-)

    But what Xzen says is my point.  I don't need people to assume what they are seeing.  I'd rather be laughed at for going to a site full of swords and shields and crazy awesome fantasy stuff than some scantily clad 12 year old chicks where the game advertises BLANTANTLY about their sexuality in order to attract people.
