So could it be possible to go away from the monthly subscription model? Could a free to play MMORPG actually be free of RMT (real money trading)? Would players actually accept ads being in the game?
I thought of several different ways that it could be introduced into the game without being to intrusive.
What if a cloth piece of armor drops, and it's called Tommy Hilfilger Cloth of Glory, or a ring is called Kay's Jewelry Ring of Power? How about potions being Pepsi infused Mana regeneration, or 5 hour energy action bar regeneration? How about a Nike backpack?
Some other ideas would be make Inns, and buildings have names. It could be the Hilton, or Embassy Suites. What if taverns were like Buffalo Wild Wings, or something similar.
Cloaks could have ads on them, or even mounts.
The possibilities could be endless.
How about placing a static ad on the bottom of your screen?
Do you think something like this could work in an MMORPG?
