JaGeX is a very large company and RuneScape is played on a global scale, you can't imagine companies not wanting to put up advertisements, players will see the advertisements, then go out and spend money on whatever the advertisement was.

 

 

 

I can, go look at maplestory and WoW, I guess they're much more comfortable with their profits.

I'm not sure about WoW but Maplestory makes their money off of selling players in-game items. Something I'm *really* glad Jagex doesn't do. If the price for that is ads on the main page, then so be it.

Lol G.I. Joe FTL...But I'm interested in the movie non the less lol.

I didn't even notice lol

 

tbh, everything else pales in comparison to how annoying that wolverine ad was, remember that?

I didn't actually notice lol. I only ever check the news and then click. Not the most observant of people! :?

I was pretty annoyed by it, seeing as it popped up when I loaded the home page about five minutes after waking up. I'm thinking that most everybody in Hyt who isn't Cry or Kai was probably annoyed by it too, honestly... :roll:

 

 

 

Anyway, as soon as I saw this, I was basically thinking what the OP said as a joke. Part of the reason I like RS because I can't stand the invasiveness--and pop culture content--of ads on more popular sites like Myspace. The whole sidebar thing is completely unnecessary, but I'm glad that it's at least not on any page of the website but the front.

I'm guessing this is only for users in the US? Since I'm a Canadian and not seeing it. I wouldn't care though, more money for them and it's not like it's replacing actual content.

I made a topic similar to this one when they had the wolverine popup add.

 

I now know why Jagex was so willing to lose money on certain aspects of their game, cause they can do crap like this and get it back. Seriously, they need to stop with this new add campain soon or people are going to head other places. People come to runescape because of the "clean" feeling, if they wanted to be bumbarded with adds they could go elsewhere. Im disapointed in all this add stuff recently. I pay for the game and was told it would be add free, now i have to deal with this crap because they need to make up for lost profit else where.

 

Lame -.-

And that's why I use Adblock Plus :thumbup:

Browsers better than Internet Explorer have existed for... oh, I don't know, since the beginning of the internet? Even if you don't use Firefox regularly (Opera, Safari, and Chrome are all respectable browsers), you could switch to Firefox as your "RuneScape Browser."

 

 

 

And quite frankly, I'm glad Jagex is getting all these advertisement deals.

There is no need for this topic, use Adblock Plus & Firefox or quit your yapping.

It's based on "GeoIP" and the ads are localized, or don't display at all depending on where you live. U.S. people age 13-24 with internet connections and thus access to spare money (either from family or jobs) are a hugely desired demographic for advertisers, so in that case you'd be seeing those ads every day.

My only concern about this is their standards for which movies they are willing to advertise :lol: . I mean first Wolverine and now the G.I Joe Movie (Which now stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity if I am thinking of the same movie).

Personally, I find the popups when I open up Tip.It more annoying than that. :-w

I don't see what the film advertisers are thinking. If F2Pers won't pay $6/month to upgrade from a demo (to the full game) they play 12+ hours/week, why would they pay $7.50 to go see a 2 hour movie?

No.

Wow, adblock plus is teh pwnage :thumbsup: It blocks everything imaginable!

 

 

 

I never got the ads though, probably for people in the US ;)

No.

 

These advertisements are on the main page, so both F2P and P2P'ers are able to view them, also the majority of people watch movies whether or not they have other hobbies.

 

 

 

On topic, I have no problem with these advertisements, a lot of websites do it now and you barely notice with the short amount of time you spend on the main page anyway.

What pays for the F2P game? What are members allowed to block that F2Pers aren't?

 

[hide=Answer]Ads! :o Shocking, right?[/hide]

I can, go look at maplestory and WoW, I guess they're much more comfortable with their profits.

I'm not sure about WoW but Maplestory makes their money off of selling players in-game items. Something I'm *really* glad Jagex doesn't do. If the price for that is ads on the main page, then so be it.

 

 

 

Blizzard makes 172 million monthly in revenue from WoW alone, not to mention 40 bucks per ticket for Blizzcon every year, that sells out within minutes. They're not strapped for cash at all.

 

 

 

You can't compare Blizzard to Jagex, financial-wise. That's like saying that normal guy shouldn't have any problem lifting that boulder. The crane did it just fine!

:lol: I can imagine someone saying that.

 

 

 

You really can't compare Blizzard to Runescape. Because Blizzard have been around for a long time, and created an mmo that only smelly 20 year-olds who live in basements can enjoy. Which is around 11 Million people. Wow :shock:

It's just silly, a high-tech style movie advertised on a medieval game... :?:

Just because we play a medieval game, doesn't mean we're all medieval haha. But I agree with you on the fact it just seems so out of place.

Why are we still talking about it it was removed Monday. -.-
