Good idea, although z8 would have to get companys to want to be advertised in CF unless the actually have them lined up already?

jillzwut · May 2010

I wouldn't care, as long as it wasn't like neon or something. Only for my friend lolo, though. If CSS is too bright for him, his precious little eyes couldn't take that.

Not many people would want to advertise a shooter, other than COD.

I don't see why it would be a problem to find firms. You can reach a worldwide audience with crossfire of diff ages/backgrounds.

win idea, will be hard to make players pay attention though. it would be a billboard in the map? that would be funny if they are reading it, *scopes on head, BOOM! headshot!* lolz

Advertising in game?

Two games that do this right off the top of my head that I can name are Counter Strike 1.6 and Quake Live.

Quake Live is a TOTALLY free (No cash shop) FPS game that uses in game advertisments to generate income and keep the game up.

We've all seen the big billboards running Cross Fire advertisments in Cross Fire. I'm wondering if people would be adverse to the idea of z8 "renting" these billboards out to companies for advertising purposes?

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. People buy a LOT of ZP, enough to keep the game running as it is right now. But imagine what z8 could do with the added income of in game ads? Maybe hire some more people at the office to get things done faster? Improve the servers? Add more servers? (I know I wouldn't mind a server in Texas...)

So lets keep this thread on topic and in order.

How do you feel about ads being placed on in game billboards and/or loading screens?

Example of in game billboard.

In the long run. We wouldn't see the benefits overnight.

Yeah....

OT: I wouldn't mind at all and increased income would allow more freedom to fix glitches, which atm, are out of hand.

M4dM3dic · May 2010

Supported.

Tupac_Shakur · May 2010

I'll explain this nicely. the suggestion wasn't for other people to advertise CF. it was a suggestion to offer other companies the ability to advertise "in game"

This was a good example. (Stay on topic CookieMunzta)

UKDissident · May 2010

To tell you the truth I thought that was the purpose of these boards and that nobody had advertised yet, I mean what other reason would you advertise CF in CF?

sikh21 · May 2010

great suggestion. u have my vote

shubinator · May 2010

i agree with this totally 100% but idk if z8 will come to reason with this good idea. =\

tooI · May 2010

hm i don´t really understand why a company should buy adbanners in a free to play game.
sure , many people are buying zp and stuff but those companies would rather like to invest in games which you have to pay for in order to reach people who actually have spending capacity/purchasing power. i mean how many 12 year olds are playing this game. ads for softdrinks? kids drink that stuff anyways...

Spazbunny · May 2010

yeah, but which brand? And targetting kids is a popular way of getting to the parents wallet...

Sadly ... nobody realizes that any extra revenue will just be added profit to Z8. The game is not developed by Z8 It is developed overseas by ONE company (SmileGate?) that works on ALL versions of CrossFire.

I for one, wouldn't want advertisements floating around ingame. You see advertisements everywhere you go nowadays. I have no particular desire to clutter my leisure activities with more ads.

Heh. Not all the income for Z8 are pure profit, as with any company.
They have plenty of expenses - and aren't publishing this game for free (nor are the office or the people inside it free, nor - i assume - Xfire).

How do you guys feel about...
