Have any of you actually SEEN those ads? Never mind what they are selling… the ads were atrocious. Not one gramatically correct sentence, and horrible typos. It was like they just took the korean version of the add and just ran it thru an english translater and printed it without a look.

You’d like to add to this?

“Jack Thompson, anyone” (followed by anecdotes about imbalanced people playing online games)
Insert typical ‘ just icing on the cake’ response here. ‘OMGZ! He made teh imflammatory, hyperbolic attacks on MMoG publishers’. Thanks for pointing that out. I am now no fucking different from nearly every other ranter or opinion maker on the internet, including yourself. Play again sometime.

\’e2\’80\’9cAll the player suicides\’e2\’80\’9d? Point to one healthy, well-adjusted person who committed suicide because of any game.”

well-adjusted people play games? that’s fucking news to me. (notice the suggestion of faulty logic in that retort?)

“Those screwed-up people are gonna do it if they play MMORPGs or if they don\’e2\’80\’99t.”
(bbcode 4tw, anyone?! :p)

Interesting conundrum here. I’m not sure whether to point out obvious non-sequitur or the subjective, iffy substance of such an arguement. I had a stepgrandfather who offed himself over panic with debt. ‘Don’t see the connection with mmogs in that instance either. Nevertheless, I’d like YOU* to point out an example or two where a person has killed a loved one or fucked up their own lives over something as superfluous as epic weapons accidently deleted or wanting to dedicate more time to an obsession that has already spun out of control… Obvious examples not withstanding. (or we can play citation wars nonstop until one of us gets tired and quits)

For a preempt, the first examples that come to my mind are narcotics, gambling, legal pharmaceuticals, sex addiction (yes, being psychologically addicted to fucking isn’t necessarily a good thing).

and…. I’m fucking tired of writing. (not kidding either) ….

Oh, they were. However, they were more amusing back when all the potential advertisers had PR budgets in the three-figure range.

Thats the only reason.

-You could use eMiniMalls Scott and just display Dark Ages of Camelot ads… though you may umm get better links from your ummm employer?

(Another reason: I\’e2\’80\’99d make about 73 cents.)

-Actually I’ve come to understand that there is so many ads for gold selling and such that the companies are paying BIG BUCKS to get to the top of the keyword list. So if you display the ads it equals better returns.

On that note I’ve been trying to weed out all the gold selling sites that appear on my Google ads. My filter limit is 200 sites and it has filled up… and my ad units still are filled with gold selling sites.

Good news my ad experiment is almost over and I can dump em soon enough.
