Engage In-Game Advertising

Engage In-Game Advertising “A joint survey conducted by Nielsen and DoubleFusion shows a very favorable attitude toward in-game ads…” huh? I don’t know anybody who wants in-game advertising but how about this evil idea … you’re waiting in the Warcraft queue, because almost all the servers have queues nowadays, and instead of staring at the two tall statues with the fire blowing all around, you’re staring at advertisements for soft drinks, pizza and cigarettes. Don’t think that’s so far-fetched — a captive audience, a harmless ad, it’s all downhill from there.

WoW Players Review EQII

From the Warcraft whorums, WoW Players Flee to EQII. My take from reading a few of those mini-reviews, there’s some strong opinions on EQII. I never gave EQII much of a chance, other than a brief run around the island trial for a few days, so I won’t instigate a WoW vs. EQII argument (just yet), but I will say this much: that trial blew hard. Two words: rogue sneak. Whoever did the animation for rogue sneak is having a good laugh right now. (Think: waddling around as if one was wearing a loaded diaper.) Is there an improved sneak where rogues won’t waddle? I have no idea, but five levels of that was five too many for me.

Warcraft to Improve. Honest.

Soon Blizzard will magically cure all of the problems that have been plaguing this game, performance-wise, for over a year. Is there anyone that actually believes this? If so for a mere $100 dollars I’ll email you the secrets of immortality. Order in the next 10 minutes and I’ll throw in some ocean front property in Kansas, free!
