funding planeshift
« on: December 28, 2004, 12:28:45 am »
well its just an idea.

couldn\'t it be possible to fund this game by advertising.
placing a huge advertising board like the ones in the real world inside the game and letting advertisers pay for their add there.

it would perhaps ruin a bit of the environment, but i would rather have a few ads than a slow server. this is a great game but when it gets realy popular you probably won\'t be able to get enough bandwith for servers.

you could set some advertising boards up with a message in already like \"your add here : contact emailadres@planeshift.it\"

just an idea i had for a long time and wanted to share.

greets,
Dimitri

well, Planeshift is already funded by sponsoring which is very close to advertising.

I think i remember devs saying that advertising will never go ingame though.

Forgot the F there buddy.
I don\'t know, I guess we could sponsor the PlaneShift Project with PayPal, no? And even though a Open Source Project usually never dies (the source can be built on), it is a good idea to do this. (the paypal thing, not the adverts ingame)

I dont like this idea as it would make the game seem less real and make it harder to roleplay, plus it isnt in the spirit of the game, i would gladly donate money but i will never play this game again if they put up addvertisments ingame.

It\'s been discussed to death, and it\'s not going to happen.
