For those unaware, at one point during Live, City of Heroes ran in game advertising via the various billboards scattered across the zones. Companies could pay to have their products appear on those billboards.
Now, this feature was never particularly successful. Only a handful of ads were ever contracted, and a lot of folks didn't even see those as you could opt out of seeing the ads in the settings.
I am wondering... is the system still part of the client/server code? Can custom ads still be put into the game?
Can anyone think of clever new uses for this feature if it works?
