As long as the ads are for beer, assorted liquors, $3000 hookers, ultimate fighting, and maybe craftsman hand tools i will be ok. The the first time i see a Honda, Pizza Hut, University of Phoenix Online ad anywhere in teh game,,, I am going to light a kitten on fire. |

Well it's just my outlook on the whole issue. I say let the adverts happen but within a sensible context for the game in question. The more the industry makes 'may' translate in better content for current titles and more games in general, more often. But, if they do any of the first three points in my original post, I'd be annoyed. I'd likely quit any game due to those forced breaks in immersion instead of just the technical ones. EDIT-- Lol!

I have it on the best authority that the King does use Axe products. It's the very same group that claim they know that AoC will have ads all over the game, be in beta for 5yrs more, and likely have it's code base sold off to the NSSIA - National Sea Serpent Institute of Antartica. --------------------- Ok, on a more serious note, it's just legal documentation from the terms of service and doesn't mean they'll have ads from the start or at all. It's just covering all the bases as a good legal write up should. As for my fourth point, in my first post, I guess I should made it clearer. I meant that the bulletin board would fit into the scenes background and just highlight as a clickable item then bring up an advert or could easily be totally ignored. It's still better than my first 3 ideas ... by a long-shot. Companies pay to place advertisements and the development/hosting company gets extra pay by individual player accounts checking them out. ..Click and pay. * Life is not black or white, it's shades of grey.
