I just don't think you would get much revenue from putting ads in-game. Game servers just don't get that high of a traffic volume. Game developers can pull it off since they get revenue from ALL of the clients that play.

The problem is, they would count by the individual connections connecting to the server, and not by how many times something was viewed. since it would be far too easy just to have people take turns spamming the Q menu or w/e. And note that is Individual connections, so the same person connecting twice would not count as 2 hits.

I may be wrong on some of this, but ads in general are a dodgy slope. They act like a gateway drug, it might start with just one ad but they seem to multiply.




Easiest and least obtrusive way I could see this working would be to include something like google ad-sense to our motd. It only appears once, everyone sees it, and its easy to add in.

I think tho, that people have to actually click on the links in the ads for it to count as a hit, but I cant remember to be honest.



Another option would be to sell Rnd merchandise.... ^.^

I bet there is a T-shirt company or somthing out there that would accept designs and sell them for you and give you a cut of the profit... That could be fun for the community. Official Rnd T-Shirt design contest anyone? :)

This was thought up awhile ago and I'm planning to do this if people would be interested.

I'll setup a poll along with possible purchases per person to see if it would not end up costing me more money LOL

Things such as merchandise are physical things you receive for your money, which I believe is the only way to go.

I won't offer any code, positions, or "gimme" donations (etc.) - as that's just lame IMO, always has been.

Edit:// things like those are reserved for in-game competitions or forum based etc

Anyway, that's my take on it.

If you come up with some cool RND merchandise I'd buy it. I dont know about T-shirts though. Nothing implied or anything, but I dont know if I'd want to wear an RND T-Shirt.

I would the design thingy, but I don't think I'd be able to buy the T-shirt :<
Anyway. As long as I don't have to pay through Internet, I can do it.

Ya know t-shirts might be an amazing idea. We could even make some server specific  giving them slogans such as "Brain Muncher" or "Wire Pro" a lot of people here are proud of their skill on their favorite server. There may be legal issues here though as screen shots could infringe copyright. There would be a way around this however if we used them as a template for our own art.

T-shirts would be a brilliant idea actually, only thing would be how they would get to the people. Porto and all that shit.

I always wear white shirt and jeans/shorts. I also only wear my 3 yr old running shoes or sandals so im not too fussy with clothing.
I dont like baggy shit though like those wanabe gangsta homos in the street with their pants down to their knees and their ugly, untasteful underwear showing and most of the time they usually have some ugly chick with them who doesnt know how to apply makeup properly and has all this mascarra and shiz making her look like a monster. and they usually wear their big hats to the side and have blings and chains and barf smell deo and and and... AAAAAAAAARGH

Yeah, i think that it would be fine to have an ad at the join or end of a server. For example, next to the map voting for TTT or zs place an ad.
