Schon ein paar Tage älter, aber hier mal etwas kurioses zum Thema “Ingame-Werbung”. Da soll mal einer sagen, dass die Gold-Seller nicht kreativ sind *lol*…
The skies of Azeroth rained gnomes today, but none survived the impact, according to a reader of Raph Koster’s blog. The gnomes left behind corpses arranged to spell out the name of a web site dealing in virtual gold sales–an effective means of advertising third-party services Blizzard (creator of the Azeroth setting) is firmly against, allegedly carried out using client-side hacks (another Blizzard no-no). Gamers on the official Warcraft message boards reported the gnome-rain fell on at least several servers.
This is the most spectacular case of corpse graffiti I’ve ever heard of. Although World of Warcraft added weather effects over a year ago, “raining gnomes” wasn’t on the list. I’d probably re-subscribe if gnome-rain was a regular occurrence. Anyone got the weekend forecast handy?
