Na testowym serwerze PlanetSide SOE wprowadzilo do gry reklamy. Sprawa ma sie podobnie jak w przypadku darmowej wersji Anarchy Online - reklamy pojawiaja sie w roznych miejscach na billboardach (a konkretnie we wszystkich bazach naziemnych - w caverns poki co obecnosci reklam nie stwierdzono) i w zasadzie nie przeszkadzaja w normalnej grze. Nikt z SOE do tej pory nie wypowiedzial sie nt. owych reklam, wiec mozna na razie spekulowac i domyslac sie, w jaki sposob potoczy sie los jedynego prawdziwego mmofps-a. Wedlug mnie mozliwe sa nastepujace rozwiazania:

- SOE wprowadza darmowy serwer z billboardami, na ktorym beda musieli pomiescic sie wszyscy, ktorzy nie beda chcieli placic abonamentu i cieszyc sie gra bez reklam...
- billboardy wyswietlane sa u wszystkich, ktorzy nie decyduja sie placic abonamentu (niezaleznie od serwera), a u reszty graczy wszystko wyglada normalnie
- SOE wrzuca reklamy na wszystkie serwery, zeby dofinansowac produkcje, a oplaty pozostaja
- SOE rezygnuje z comiesiecznych oplat abonamentowych na rzecz wplywow pochodzacych z wyswietlanych na billboardach reklam

Jak to bedzie wygladalo wg was i czy wyprobowalibyscie gre, gdyby SOE udostepnilo ja za darmo? Zapraszam do dyskusji.

Jesli interesuja was screeny, to odsylam do ponizszych linkow.
1 i 2

Wszystkie wersje są możliwe...

Ale to z darmowym serverem jest najbardziej prawdopodobne

Bardziej by mnie ucieszylo darmowe konto bo mam zamiar od nastepnego miesiaca brac abonament soe all acces ;]

Darmowy ?!

No niestety SOE wydalo press release, z ktorego dowiadujemy sie, ze wprowadzone na test serwer reklamy pojawiajace sie w grze beda alternatywna droga finansowania PS. Wiadomo nie od dzis, ze PlanetSide cienko przedzie, ale zeby az tak? Mi sie wydaje, ze wiecej straca niz zyskaja wprowadzajac do gry reklamy, ale zobaczymy...

chciałem napisać, że pewnie będą i reklamy i abonament by dowalić SOE (i ich miłośnikom), ale wydało mi się to mało logiczne... cóż
