jjjon123 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Does anyone else feel like jagex is advertising a little too much? As much as I like legend of the seeker (and i was looking forward to a third season since I read the books, no emperor jajang :( ) I dont want to see a giant zeddicus or a purple horizon or a disney book when i'm gona playing runescape. F2p already has stupid political ads, Please stop using your homepage as a gaint advertising banner. 1,000 F2P Total Level Reached 10/8/10 !

Kimberly Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Does anyone else feel like jagex is advertising a little too much? As much as I like legend of the seeker (and i was looking forward to a third season since I read the books, no emperor jajang :( ) I said damn near the exact same thing, lol. Honestly seeing that gave me a little chill and reminded me a bit too much of Neopets for my liking. But really, how often do I really look at the main page? Not a lot. Mech. Mixed blessing. If it helps them make ends meet and it doesn't happen on the actual game page itself (aside from the normal f2p ad) I have no real problem with it.

Gandorf61 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Just out of curiosity could someone take a screenshot of what the mainpage looks like with the Ad? I only seem to be getting their regular ads so I'm thinking it's shown based on where you live. Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!

I think what's more concerning is the fact that they did it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Rand Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Haven't they done this before with a Disney ad? I believe they have some kind of advertising partnership in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepsiguy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 maybe they invested some amount of money in it and the makers said you get this amount of money for every person that sees it, and theyre trying to advertise more so it gets more views? or its the makers payed jagex for advertising tat movie for this long. just my 2 cent guesses The once was a mexican called pepsi,Or maybe it's just he had Hep C,He was a pretty cool bro,Bros generally are you know,He hailed from the land of 'taters,He was known to hate many-a-hater,He likes a girl named Lacey,His thoughts about her are kind of racy,And also his dad likes to [rooster].

Triquos Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 It's always been like that for F2P and always will because F2P doesn't give them any money, so they need advertising. Membership on the other hand, pays them very well, thus no need for it. Buy membership, problem solved /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutters Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think maybe one or more of the higher-ups at JaGEx enjoys that show and decided to put on the advertisement. They don't do the full background advertisement very often, anyway. That's what I would do if I had a heavily visited site and a multimillion (billion?) dollar company - just advertise stuff I actually like and want to succeed, lol.

Krampell Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't get those whole page adverts on my browser here in sweden, like that x-men a while ago.Anyway, I don't understand why Jagex has other MMO advertisements on their site.

Youmu Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 No matter how weird these adverts turn out to be, Jagex still has no choice but to put them there. A company is a company, and they will do everything they can to gain lots and lots of mooneyz. =P~ Also how does this affect your gameplay in any way? Be grateful they don't put one there while Runescape is loading...

jjjon123 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Have you ever seen a (relatively large) company advertise a product/company on the majority of the Home webpage? That... - Isnt related to the parent site (ie Gamestop front page advertising call of duty black ops, gamestop sells GAMES so advertising GAMES is ok) - Isnt related to a contest/sweepstakes/big sale/historic event hosted on the parent site(ie Kraft foods front page advertising the movie Avatar because they are having a sweepstakes related to it) Legend of the seeker (dvd series) and a disney BOOK series isnt related to runescape, there is also no sweepstakes/sale/event involved with those memorabilia. I'm just saying that I think jagex is getting a little disparate for advertising space, adverts are one thing, a entire front page backround image is another thing. 1,000 F2P Total Level Reached 10/8/10 !

Pepsiguy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 im more leanient on that the makers asked if they put it n there for amount of time for this much, kind of think of it as a tv show The once was a mexican called pepsi,Or maybe it's just he had Hep C,He was a pretty cool bro,Bros generally are you know,He hailed from the land of 'taters,He was known to hate many-a-hater,He likes a girl named Lacey,His thoughts about her are kind of racy,And also his dad likes to [rooster].

WilDaBeast Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I am with the general consensus. If the money Jagex makes from advertising gets more stuff put in the game, i'm cool with it. And at least it's a cool ad (the girls in the little video were hot)....it could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthox Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Does anyone else think tip.it is advertising a bit too much? I mean there is an ad on every page. It's just another way to get money. Get google chrome, and the addon adthwart. It works wonders, i tell you.
