Hive billboards

Suggestions
1

Basically, I always found the hive’s lobby map looking like a town… Upon thinking, towns have advertisements!

That’s what the hive is missing… Well, sort of.

I think Bill boards or posters should be added to the hive’s lobby, advertising:

-Hive content creators
-etc.

Basically, around the hub (in well selected locations) there are bill boards, then people who want advertisements for maybe their social menu (for example, a YouTube channel) they pay the hive for there ‘bill board design’ to be put on there.

This increases the money coming in for the hive, and helps out smaller content creators.

MORE:

So let’s say, a location near the NPCs for a bill board would cost more money to obtain ones advertisement in.

As more players would see it.

So…

A good location= cost more money

And time your advertisement is on the bill board= more money, too

[But of course, the players need there own design of bill board posters]

In conclusion, the addition of bill boards to the hive lobby will help the hive and content creators.

(NOTE: so I’ve read some messages stating they should also add bill board ads for hive cosmetics, which I think could work- along with LTM and seasonal game-modes) :honeybee:

It’s a weird suggestion- but I think it can help loads of people :slight_smile:

I personally don’t think the theme of the hub would work well with billboards.

Another personal opinion is that I wouldn’t want to see advertisements for YouTube channels (or any type of social media) there in the hub,

Great Suggestion, But as what @AlphaDivided said

Youtubers are already advertising The Hive, By making Hive Related Content; people who play other servers will Watch a Youtuber’s Video Playing the hive, They might end up liking the server and playing

Also remember to vote for your own suggestion next time

I see your point of view…

But, I don’t really find good content creators-they kind of lack. I think the idea of hive bill boards might help with that. if there advertising is intresting, I might take a look at their channel, too.

And at the end of the day, I get to watch more hive content, which is nice :slight_smile:

(and I voted for my suggestion- thanks, I’m new to this) :beedance:

This is a very unique but weird idea. Having “Billboards” where you can advertise is something a server which would cost you money to play games (InPvP) would do. The Hive charges for it’s cosmetics and Ranks only.

Even if this added, someone who has a lot of money to waste spend could buy up literally all the billboards, and then, it would become a monopoly.

That’s called a difference of opinions; I find the Hive having a lot of cool content creators.

No. Advertising doesn’t boost your quality of videos, just attracts people once. Then if soemone doesn’t like your content, they will always just move back to playing and not want to look at the billboard you bought…

InPvP is pay to win, this idea has nothing similar to that.

Lofeboat(InPvp) is pay to play first. Then the p2w comes in…

Aight… But think, this isn’t InPvP or P2W.

Firstly, what are you paying to play?

Nothing. It doesn’t change anything about the mini-games in any aspect.

Secondly, it isn’t pay to win.

In conclusion, it doesnt really change anything about the server and its mini games… It just adds a bit of detail :slight_smile:

If you like the idea, please do drop a vote :beedance:

This is an interesting idea. Hive Youtubers draw people to the hive, but there aren’t many with more than 10K subscribers. Plus if that person is monetized, they could purchase a billboard to advertise their channel and get more money. Capitalism.

This is also a good point. To prevent that, make it so that someone can only have one billboard at any given time.

Yes. That’s a good solution!

They should have a way of monetering the channels advertised.

For example, if I make 5 accounts and register for 5 different bill boards for the same channel.

The hive should accept one of my requests. And decline the other 4.

In conclusion, they monitor the channels advertised! :slight_smile:

Hmmm
Idk, I think this would cause lag, maybe for lower end devices, and people really like hive because of how little custom entities spam there is

Idk tho, maybe ask @PotatoPie25 he’s a youtuber

I just thought of it like the avatars which appear to be maps in item frames

Cool idea!
Would be interesting to see some of the advertisements for the currently-running events or featured cosmetics on billboards. Would add more variety!

The only issue I can think of is what @Conhadda said.

You are right, although… They could be reduced in size… Or it could involve the change in coding (which I’m unfamiliar with) :slight_smile:

Yes! Well stated!

If they advertised LTM (limited time game modes) that could also work!

Along with some cosmetics developed by them!

Good job. It’s a great way to think- for real.

:beedance: :slight_smile:

(I’ve also responded to @Conhadda 's message)

It’s really up to the hive partners if they want this or not
