Bradley_006 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Saw this elsewhere so i'll put it in quotes. Well, i was bored so i was poking around on the JaGex's corprate site (http://www.jagex.com/corprate) and I found that they had this so say to advertisers: Jagex will also consider proposals that go beyond-the-banner for larger organisations looking to establish high recognition rates with our audience profile. Sponsorship and in game advertising offer exciting and cost effective ways to reach our audience with positive association of the RuneScape brand. however, the Rules of Conduct for RuneScape (http://www.runescape.com) say this: You are not allowed to actively advertise in the RuneScape game or RuneScape forums. This includes advertising any website or product, and no web addresses are allowed. Telling other players any web-address is not allowed. ....... Why do we have this rule? Links to sites can sometimes be dangerous to players (by leading you to sites with inappropriate content) or your computer (by downloading a virus when you go to the site). This precaution has been taken in order that no links to any sites may be advertised in-game or in the RuneScape Forums, thereby protecting you and your computer. Does this rule include giving out the link to my clan/fan site? Yes. Unfortunately we just donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have the resources to check every website being mentioned, and even well meaning sites could inadvertently contain risks. So this rule covers ALL websites. Can I advertise my website in RuneScape? No, you cannot. As you may know, some sites are used to harvest unsuspecting players' passwords which spoils players enjoyment of the game. We take password security very seriously and therefore have to enforce a rule whereby no websites are advertised in game. Clearly this may result in an injustice against players who create websites designed to help the RuneScape Community. However, we need to ensure that player accounts are absolutely secure, and to this end we have developed this policy. We hope that at some point in the future this can change, and more community sites will take the place of hack sites. For the time being though, account security is absolutely essential. How how does JaGex find a loophole around that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcyte Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 really? did you not notice that rule eleven states that you cannot advertise in the runescape game or runescape forums the advertising people would find some other way of contacting, they wouldn't sign up for the game and advertise there...where does it say that they should join the game and spam there?

munchkinmage Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The thing is, the rules only apply to people who make accounts and agree to them. The advertising company couldn't start level 3s and spam their product in-game, but they could work something out WITH JAGEX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrazor Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If I'm a legal representative of Coke, and I pay Jagex 1 million dollars a month, to sell coke potions in all of their general stores (heals 12 hp, heals 6 prayer, costs 30 gp) ... that is perfectly legal. If, as a player, I go online and spam the words: "Drink Coke. It's yummy!", that is not legal, and I could be banned. Understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobnoob Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If coke and more advertiser pay 1 mill or more a month for advertising, maybe member fee will be lower from $$$ to $. Maybe there will be more updates, more quest, more worlds, more bankspace, more everything ... Maybe ...

Duke_Kaleb Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Yes, as mentioned above, 'in-game' advertising means the adverts above the game screen on F2P worlds. Members do not get the adverts because they are already paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tru_vampire0 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 This is for companies wishing to advertise themselves via the ad-banners above your gameplay screen. What the RuneScape Rules do not allow is someone sitting a crowded bank (or anywhere) yelling "Go to www.[We-Scam-U].com for free stuff and cheats!!!" Got it? When I Have It, It's the World's. When I Don't Have It, The World Is Mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gift_of_flab Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 When money is involved, everyone is going to "break the rules" at some point. Although it is their game so they can advertise all they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poiuytreza2 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Maybe they'll put posters on the walls of teh banks :P that would be effective ingame advertising.

dutchdreams Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I can imagine a few sponsored adds inside the game: While killing a dragon: 'case of bad breath? Mentos, zeee freshhhmaker' Killing a goblin: 'Splitting headache ? Tylenol, new and improved' Anyways, reading the corporate message, I guess you can swap 'game' with 'RS-client'. The sponsorhips/adds are distributed through the java-client (which is 'the game') but not through gamecontent. The moment Jagex decides to put sponsored items into their content, is the moment I quit. When I want to watch half an hour of hidden advertising, I'll go watch the average soap on TV.

jedidude77 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 they can do whatever they want, they OWN the GAME! Have fun with it, also, this could be misinterpreted in Who knows what way. There's no such thing as "wireless." Just really long extension cords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 well they really can do anything they want seeing as they own the game... such as swearing in the quest help for desert treasure.

kat t Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 They ve had banners to help pay for the free version of the game for a long while. There is nothing wrong with that, imo. :-k [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
