Oh my fucking god. They finally listened to me and anyone else who ever had this idea.

Considering they don't let us down it could be a good time to think of some clever ideas. Of course we would have to have subliminal messages hidden! heh

An exciting new addition is coming to the world of The Matrix Online. As part of Update 38 we will be introducing Massive in-game advertising to The Matrix Online. For long-time community members and those of you who play Planetside, it will be a familiar part of the game.
Real-world advertisements will begin appearing on billboards around the Mega City after Update 38 goes live. Just like real-world billboards, they’ll change to feature new advertisements over time. (Don’t worry: Your favorite ads for Slumberil, The Sentinel, etc., will remain a part of the game.) These static advertisements will not affect game performance in any way.
The inclusion of Massive in-game advertising opens up the possibility of something many community members have been asking for: player advertising around Mega City. We will be looking into the idea of running contests for selecting player-generated ads in the future as a way of incorporating these ads into the game. Once we have confirmed we can do this, we will make an announcement on Data Node One. Stay tuned and we will keep you updated on our progress over the next few weeks.

I'd be willing to help develop some ads if it ends up happening. As of right now it only seems certain that real world ads will be displayed. The possibility (keyword there) of player ads still looks to be up in the air. Even so, I'm interested to see what kind of ads will be displayed. Ads for the PS3, no doubt. I'd be kinda pissed if I saw ads for other games, though. Even if they are owned by Sony.

A Furious Angel AD? That would be great. I'd toss some more money through paypal for that.

Sweet!!! Something from beta we asked for actually coming true.

Wow.

Slogan time!

"The Furious Angels - You Came. You Saw. You rooted, Biatch."

haha, nice!
By the way, I had no doubt this would happen with Sony. They know what they're doing when it comes to MMOs, but they're so money hungry at the same time.
