How long do you think before PWI decides to increase revenue via sponsorship/advertising?

Some big neon signs in west arch?

Bosses wearing Nike running shoes? (Killed by : Harpy Wraith - Sponsored by Nike)

Mobs dropping Pepsi?

Duke shouting about the latest offer from Vodafone?

I don't think there would be any benefit to players unless they did some kind of referral benefit, just curious.......

    Have you checked their stock lately? They're doing far too well to even have to resort to this sort of thing. With sponsorship comes a loss of control, having any of those major companies advertise in-game would come with stipulations of course. PWI doesn't need that revenue, they're doing well on their own.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Free in game logo T-shirts. End of sponsorship necessity, and no major damage.

    And the next facebook/myspace fans event'll be an "adult-singles" site.

    TBH marketing fashion w/ company logos might prove to be very profitable. I'd buy Kannon some Nikes or a Puma T-shirt etc.

    As for bilboards in archo & other random **** placement... bleh that's too tasteless even for PWI.

    I actually mentioned this in a post months ago on one of my alts.

    That it would be nice if they would do just this, but with billboards. Where we earned 1 silver per billboard we actually clicked on stating we'd read it. Can only earn up to 25 silver per day (or something like this)

    I think that would be quite nice for those who do not use the cash shop via Zen charging. Also would be another nice way for PWI to bring in some revenue.

    Anyways, your suggestion is old :P I already suggested it. The idea however; is going to eventually happen.
