EVE General Discussion

Hello,

So I been playing this game for a while now the only reason I found it was thru a friend.
found out this game is 10+ yrs old
but I dont find any TV ads nor have I ever seen any on TV here in the USA

I seen ads for WoW and a bunch of other games.
why as CCP never put out a TV ad for this game ?

from what I been reading the player base is going down and no one really plays this game.

I just paid for a Year I hope this game last this long from what I been getting.

MAIN POINT THO
WHY CCP DOES NO ADs ON TV??? like Ever one ELSE

I am going to guess here: you don't watch the SyFy channel or many Science Fiction TV series.

CCP targets their advertisements to reach the people most likely to be interested.

Are you saying they advertise on SyFy? I don't watch it much so wouldn't know.

An archaic entertainment device from the early 20th century normally used to babysit the kids and spread propaganda.

I would think "Killjoys" and "Dark Matter" would be likely shows for EVE ads and probably the new show "The Expanse".

Of course, if you are recording the shows and excluding the ads when you play them back ... you won't see the ads.

I think that commercial should get a prize for least effective advertisement campaign in the history of anything. If that was meant to sell a product I don't think they could have done a worse job...

its also way cheaper to do it they way they are. and it actually works better for the goals of eve. We spread the word of mouth and gain players. It helps when eve has more players.

we are currently in a 'restructure, repair, and rebuild' phase. these tend to be lull periods of new players and people tend to leave because they 'get bored' What typically happens at the end of such periods is the then rebuilding launches something epic that draws people back in. this in tern can cause said thing to grow.

though sometimes, the thing passes a thresh hold, once that thresh hold is passed, whateve ris rebuilding can;lt gian momentum and dies. This typically takes a long time though.

Which way will eve go? idk, but ads won;t help until the current player base gets past the rebuild phase and moral of the vocal player improves.

In other words...

We don;t need to stinking ad's right now.

meh thats so 2008. This needs a TV run. CCP, make it so *points*

No offence intended to the OP and/or any other TV watching...persons.

What's the point, though? It's meaningless, as EVE is such a niche product and experience - so much so that it is perhaps not beyond the realms of possibility that if you seriously wanted to play this game, you would've arrived here under your own power, not through advertising.

That's how I ended up here, meandering through the internet and not through advertising. I'm sure it was the same for others.
