IGG recently discovered an error in the gift key claiming system for our Myth War 2 item giveaway.  They have the following statement to make regarding this:

 ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the recent technical problem, some players failed to activate their newbie package keys online. We are very sorry for any inconvenience it has caused. Our technical team jumped on the problem and has managed to resolve it. This means that you will be free to log in (http://mw2.igg.com/event/contest/) at any point to activate your keys starting from 9:10 pm November 25th EST (GMT-5).

As a way to make up for the trouble caused and to thank our loyal players for being so patient, the MW2 team has decided to give out two newbie packages for each key!

Please try to login at http://mw2.igg.com/event/contest/  again to redeem your newbie fortune bag and find the GM in game to get an additional newbie fortune bag with your Key.

We really appreciate your interest in Myth War 2. Have fun! 

 

Again, the link to our key event is: http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/121/Myth-War-2-Newbie-Fortune-Bag-Giveaway.html  

MMORPG.com has just been handed 2500 keys for the highly anticipated fantasy MMORPG "Allods Online" from Russian developer Nival Online.

CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR BETA KEY FOR CLOSED BETA PHASE 2!

Sorry for the misunderstanding guys.  The contest had a display bug which was fixed.   As the rules have always stated you only get one bonus ticket per 5 days you login to a max of 5 tickets.  If you have logged in 4 days that is 0 tickets so far.  5 logins = 1 ticket, 10 = 2, 25 = 5, etc.

There are 30 days for the contest to run and if you login 25 you get the max...so you can even miss a few days in there and still get max bonus tickets.

Hope this clear things up!  Good luck to you!

Well once again we are not worthy and are classed as second rate :( Well it just does one thing for me, and makes me more determined not to buy anything from either company, and as these type of comps are designed to draw more attention to these companies, you'd think that they would want world wide coverage..... in this case I guess not lol

 Look at the steaming piles of crap that are higher rated than Darkfall.  Is  MMORPG's staff so scared to lose their gear that they haven't even bought a susbcription to the game yet (monthly fee still TBA)?

I think you missed a very important point in all this.  The scores you see at your link are NOT from our writers (who actually score the game *reviews* that we do, not our staff).  The scores in your link are based on our community casting votes for the games...not us.

The correct link to our "official" reviews: http://www.mmorpg.com/features.cfm/view/reviews/sort/score/months/all/order/desc

Darkfall still did not get a score here, but at least this is the correct link.

While people will never believe it so it seems, our advertising dept (me) and our content department are completely isolated from one another.  The team at MMORPG.com that makes content like reviews, previews, interviews, etc has absolutely no idea what advertising I am selling and the advertisers have no way to influence this.  The only way would be if my editors were taking private bribes on the side, which would be risky as it would get them fired and ruin their career.

I know it sounds all conspiracy-theory-fun to accuse us of these things but why would we risk everything for this when we sell every last scrap of advertising here without stooping to shady levels like this?

^ This.

I've no problem with them at all. I've clicked on a lot of the adds here and actually signed up and played on quite a few.

 

It's advertising and it works.

 

MMORPG maybe you should create ad removal accounts and charge over the odds for it ;)


 

We have considered this in the past but honestly I really prefer to stay away from taking money from site users.  It creates obligations we don't want to take on and customer service issues, etc.  At least now if the site crashes and is offline for 2 days we no one paid for what they are missing out on ;-)

 I do feel these ads should only contain mmo's since this is mmorpg.com an' all, but i'm guessing the non-mmo console games would offer more opportunities and not to mention a lot more money to help support this site.


 

98% of our ads are for MMOs actually.  Because that is our pure demographic we generally attract MMO advertisers...which works out well.  I find that most gamers (like myself) play more than MMOs (actually buried in Dragon Age at the moment - lol)

Funny you say that because I used to buy gaming magazines way back in the day and thumb through them just to see all the full page glossy ads, it was how I kept up on what was coming out next (pre-internet of course).

Thanks again for the feedback!

But now we have a brought to you by ad sticker over the pictures on the latest features section? That's beyond overkill and really takes away from the images. How much ad space really has to be sold here?

 

Yeah, that's pretty tacky. Worse than the synchronized banner ads that randomly pop up. Glad I don't have epilepsy!

Wouldn't the "brought to you by" be better if it was "smaller" than the feature it was bringing?

As it is, I don't usually see a lot of ads here, because I don't want to white-list some outside the domain ad server. There are a few that originate from mmorpg.com that I see, because I white-listed this site. I wouldn't mind seeing more because I like and want to support the site.

Is Dragon Age an MMO even?

I remember when the picture viewer on this site used to pop up an ad every 5 pictures. Total over-kill since there was a banner  ad in the frame with the picture and around the frame you could still see the ads on the page behind.

 


 

Thank you for the feedback on the ads everyone - especially the new feature sponsorship thing-a-ma-jig.  It is new and I was hoping to get some feedback on it before we decided to commit to much more of it (we have some more slated for like 4 days in December but that is it for now).  To be honest I was not 100% behind it but it seemed like a new idea and I figured we could try it.  With all the ad blocking going on these days advertisers and publishers are trying to figure out how to keep sites like this free to the users and doing sponsorship like this is ad-blocker resistant of course.

One thing you will note about ads at MMORPG.com is that we only accept gaming related ads (not just MMOs) - however you should find it refreshing that you won't see ads for dating sites, cell phones, "shoot the bunny", refinance your mortgage, check your credit score and other annoying ads found on our competitors websites.

I know that most people don't like the ads but without revenue I don't think we can convince the team of 8 full-time people that make this site possible to keep working 40+ hours per week without paychecks
