What would you want to see in it?




Myself, I would want to see a whole bunch of those generic mmo guys fighting on the ground doing pvp. Then have them all rezzing and saying good game, and lets be friends. (orcs, humans, elves, tanks, tf2 ripoffs etc)

Then a guy with a shoulder patch with a patch on his arm walks in and says lets be friends and gives them a large piece of payer that says love letter. As they open it, it turns out to say we love you so much you just became our special friends, with a large picture of a bullseye below it.

Proceed to see a target painter from orbit and then a........ (insert dread or titan here) nuke the site from orbit and all the dust guys come in and steal their gear.


This isnt your normal mmo and this isnt your normal pvp. EvE online where it is all or nothing!



Im sure the catch phrase could be better. Still would be fun to watch.

WELL HELL. CCP My challenge to you is, look at this topic and the ideas and make a contest out of this. You guys vote on it and make a short trailer of the idea. What say you CCP and eve community?

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Have to say that your idea is different to say the least, was half expecting an idea with scantily clad women but you surprised me so kudos to you.

Sorry but file “forumsig.GIF” is currently unavailable please come back later…… like in a year or so.

Some football superstar throws the egg, it turns into a capsule in mid flight, rams into some ship that fires off a broadside into another ship.
Something like that.

nice idea.

Here's my suggestion: Draw a Storyboard, put it on the myEve website thingy and into the myEve thread.

So let me get this straight, you want CCP to spend millions of dollars to play a commercial in a country where a large chuck of EVE players dont even live in, for a sports game that nobody outside of the US even cares about?

I dont care how 'super' this 'bowl' is, but why should we care?

Even if this wasn't a hypothetical thread (it is, fool) the super bowl is still the most watched event on the planet. It generates more revenue than most countries, where people don't care about the sport. So CCP would be making a good business move by buying ad time on it. In fact, if they didn't make a DUST ad for the superbowl, I'd question their sanity. You may not get as much of the PC market doing it, but the console gamers would eat it up.

Abrazzar if i may run with your idea and expand on it.


Maybe not an egg but a football being thrown at night and you see it in the night sky, then it slowly turns into a pod then you see the pod flying in space, but then suddenly you see a laser just blow a giant hole in it.


Quickly following the laser you see it strike a *rolls dice* a Gila tearing a hole into the armor. then pan out to a battle scene.

Generic eve online comment. Just like the super bowl, there is always a winner there is always a loser.

But seriously, a superbowl commercial is a bit out of CCP's league..

Agreed. Putting it during a Dr. Who marathon would be better than any sporting event.

And would be targeting the wrong demographic to begin with. The idea, 'if you had one chance to get out the best message possible, what would it be?' is interesting though.

For those who don't know what the super bowl is. It's the final game of American football to see who are that seasons ultimate team. On average it brings in several billions of dollars in food sales alone and is watched by roughly 90 million people each year.

I agree..
At the moment though, I don't think anyone could say for sure what that message would be for EVE.
This sounds harsh perhaps, but think about it..

Stick to the topic guys, who cares what the message is.

Who gives a flying **** about the demographic.

What would you like to see?

So you would put an ad for a sci-fi nerdy game during an american football event? Doesn't the whole american movie culture shows football players beating up nerdy sci-fi geeks?
