I saw it in the front car (NY-bound) of an M7 train. Haven't seen it since, though. Just Sleepy's mattresses, laser prostate surgery ads, etc.

I think it wasn't about celebrity endorsement, but about Mr. Jackson being sick of these goddamn Ravens on this goddamn train...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

If CCP advertises on these trains, they better be careful.

These are "maximizer" Type A personality wallstreeters. If they come into the game thinking it's all about ISK in the wallet, then that's all they will care about. You think there's carebearing and ISK obsession now? Put in posters advertising the game in a "he who has most ISK wins" marketing campaign.

Make the campaign all about being a douchebag, and you will see a rise in douchebaggery.

Make it all about greifing people to the point where they hang themselves in their bedroom and ... well we might not notice anything. The kind of people who could not handle it already hung themselves over Facebook posts.

Make it all about instant gratification and there will be a rash of temp subs that never become paying accounts. P

The people most likely to actually play and stick with EVE are the ones who already spend way too much time on the internet (especially gaming sites). CCP markets the **** out of EVE on gaming sites.


Thats the thing though for me. Never even noticed those eve adds or knew what eve was until a friends got me a trial acc.

They be **** adds imo


Well yeah that's called ad-sense, which is the most ******** idea ever but apparently lots of companies fall for googles/microsoft/yahoo's sweet words. Basically it gives you advertisement on things you looked up recently which usually means you either have/use/play the item after looking it up, both cases there's no point in the ads.

Like if you play eve and look at eve sites you get advertisements for eve everywhere, how nice, already playing it so its wasting the ad. Try looking for a new graphics card, order it, next 2 weeks the ads will be about graphics cards, again no point anymore

Could you explain this to my wife for me? Specifically, that not all online ads are ad-sense? She thinks every time a bikini girl or online dating ad appears on a PC at home, it means I've been was shopping for ladies.... Sad



Occasionally my GF will use my work laptop to shop for lingerie and corsets and I get the same results with this ad-sense crap - booty all over the place on every web page for a week.

Keeps my ass awake at least.

She better not go past lingerie or there's going to be words.

Thos Maximizers are as likely to be griefers as Industrilists. Or empire-builders of the sort that make Mittens look like a tin-pot dictator.

Which could be fun - Can you imagine a bunch of Gordon Gekkos funding pirate fleets to undercut their rivals? Twisted

Oh man. Keep those people out of the game.
On second thought, let them in. Can't slap them silly in RL, but could pod them in-game.

There are a few of those, but the vast majority of LIRR commuters aren't that at all.

I was born and raised in Port Washington. I know what kind of people live there.

I'll give them credit though. They are unlike people in the Pacific Northwest. I think most of the miners live there. In Seattle, everybody is afraid to get upset or risk spilling their doubletall. It's like inside every Washingtonian is a little librarian suffering from PTSD brought on by a bad hairdo. Log Lady! Everybody is like the damned Log Lady from Twin Peaks!

CCP should know that different parts of the country should have different ad campaigns with different slogans.

Wonder what those slogans would be if they did that? Cool

Yet everyone uses adblock now and never sees those ads. CCP could do with putting themselves out there a little more but they need to stay tactful and not try the "let's bash wow" approach others have in the past.

If CCP did do ads with famous people in them

GD would be filled with whinge posts about how CCP have no right to waste thier subscription money on useless ads when they should be fixing broken game mechanics like the 'door' ....

No way, Herzog you grew up in Port? I lived there for 5 years (now live further east in the Jericho area). The Port Washington line has Type A wallstreeters than the line I take now. Especially on a 6:30 AM train. They're getting to Manhattan before the morning trading bell, I guess. Pretty hard-bitten atmosphere on that train.

Games like EVE make more of a splash when they get publicity through something groundbreaking or unique happening within their universe, like the 4000-player space battle not so long ago. You see TV and mainstream ads for other games like Planetside 2 and WOW quite frequently but their numbers are actually declining. Mainstream publicity doesn't necessarily sell subscriptions anymore, it's the proof of community activity, and game pedigree that do.

You guys and your ads. You're lucky to have ads while I have 3 add-ons and 1 script to block all potential ads that might show up. Those that do pass gets the blacklist.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
