Forums → Games → The Future of MMO Ads

If you looked at the image URL, you would discover to find that the URL's name is HAHAHAHAHA. You would then be correct, because that was what I uttered when I discovered this advertisement. You can tell right off the bat that this is a terrible game, because it really does look like this model was photoshopped right into the banner, to attract young gamers no doubt.

Developers, if you really want to attract gamers to your site without any feeling of guilt or mediocrity, try to...I don't know, describe what your game is and show how cool your game is. If your only hope of attracting gamers to your MMO is to photoshop a model into your banner, then you might as well put up your tools and find a job, because you obviously lack faith of your own creation.

Does this seem like a....yeah, it's a rant. But seriously, this ad is just so terrible I have to show this to people. Is this an advertisement in itself? To blind gourmet gamers like myself with such rage that they show the advertisement to others to get hits *that* way? Because this is in a way how Justin Beiber and that Friday girl got their attention. Negativity.

Anyway, I will seriously give kudos to people who can find an advertisement worse than this. And to boot, we can speculate on the real future of MMO Ads. Do they wise up and show how cool their game is? Or to they invoke the appeal to sex and post scantily-clad women to hypnotize the teens that have yet mastered the willpower to overcome this?
