If you give people a way to officially advertise, it can be limited and regulated so that the annoyance you convey can be kept to an all time low.


Updated OP to include this as a pro.

I really like this idea.
If those little TV's in space had some actual relevant information, rather than just bounties, it'd make the game feel more like a comunity environment. +1 Bear

there is one thing i would like to bring up though. Even if these adverts make it into the game, why would it stop people who already use cans to advertise? It would definitely cut it down, i know that, but the most optimal way of advertising would be to use all forms of advertising wouldn't it?

Well, it wouldn't get rid of people advertising that way completely, but if you give people a respectable looking alternative, it will make the cans look more pathetic or desperate in comparison. Who's going to put an ad can next to a massive shiny billboard?

Why is it that good ideas are so difficult to keep in the first page of the Assembly Hall?

It seems to me like they are just drowned out by bad and controversial threads. There is something wrong with a system where bad and controversial ideas spend all their time in the spot light, and everything else is just ignored.

Sounds like a good idea.

Perhaps have extra screens or holograms at stations with variable costs, so a market hub system would be much more expensive than a 0.5 backwater

Also, maybe price can be dictated by average number of peeps in system a day diviided by some funky other math?

Perhaps 1 billboard at each gate/station.

You pay to display it so many times an hour. Rates go up depending on jumps in system.

I'm very much for the idea of advert prices scaling with the average populations of systems. Either that, or some kind of bidding system like the buy order system, where your adverts display a certain amount depending on how far down the auction rank you are. With either of these two options, imagine the ISK sink from the adverts in Jita. We would really see who the 1% were that way.

Bidding on time slots for the boards i like that idea. It would make it an isk seek but keep it competitive at the same time. Also set a the base bid price by the average traffic in the same system over a set time frame.

You could make the billboards destructible in lowsec and null and then corps could replace them with their own billboards like the new Customs Offices.

It would be marvelous. OP updated.

I'm In support of this idea. It will make it easy for people/corp/alliances to promote their service, products or propaganda. And it makes it a good isk sink.

This is where I put my signature, right?

Now all we have to do, is grab the dev attention or csm to hound the devs about it ;)

If this is what it takes to make billboards actually update regularly, and get rid of all those ad-cans.
I mean, those cans alone show you there's a need for that kind of stuff.

I contacted the CSM, and was evemailed by Alekseyev Karrde, who let me know that CCP are aware of the idea and that we should look out for -

Not exactly sure what the new player experience has to do with it, although I supose they would benefit more than most from a change like this.

I can see this truly going a lot further then just new player experience IMO. cause it could not just be corp/alliance recruitment but advertisement for services as will.
