| In Game Pizza ordering and other future offers... |
|
|
|
When I first started playing Everquest 2 it was right smack in the middle of an interesting marketing experiment. The folks behind the scenes at Everquest 2 and Pizza Hut got together and made it so that when you typed "/pizza" in game you could place an order with Pizza Hut for pizza delivery from within Everquest 2. This was a temporary promotional concept which I weakly gave into once and miss at those times when the slacker wave rolls over me. All this leads me to the thought of should they bring it back and what other real world service (within reason) should be added in game and I am not limiting this to EQ2 as I would love lots of perspective and input on this concept.

Seriously talking, I don't really like the idea because some REAL slackers might over use it and then the whole world's blaming games for obesity. Like violence wasn't enough. :P
But if used properly, I wouldn't seen the problem brining such thing back. ^^

I did it once and felt guilty about it at that time but also loved it too and thought it was kind of neat. Oh and don't worry they have been blaming obesity on computers and games for sometime now but the wii bought the industry some time to be sure. :) Oh man I am just glad that you could not get Red Bull with the pizza or it would have been a gaming binge nightmare. :P

I always thought that was a silly / command. Ordering pizza from Norrath... :-P no thanks. I'd prefer they kept RL out of the games. :-)

Bigspeer just informed me that YES they still sell Zima...lol.
And I know for a fact they still sell B&J, I buy them all the time! LoL, now THOSE are a girly drink if I ever had one lol.
I am liking the new Jack Daniels flavored Whiskey though more than the B&J though.
