this looks like it should be good.......there are some decent games out there now......and fb approvals are easy.....most cases......


If I were gonna do this I would run my little magical ass over to the fb spy and get some ideas a flowing

Seriously considering doing this. I need to do a follow along and this will provide even more incentive to get it done, thanks for the contest!

So, the max budget is $200 for this contest? This sounds fun, I'm going to try this out! Some good motivation.

Hehe . . . wife and kids are going out of town for 10 days. Perfect timing!!!


08-05-2011 04:27 AM #6 inversion (Member)

Okay . . . I'm officially feeling old. How do I know if a gaming offer is an MMORPG?


08-05-2011 04:36 AM #7 jroes57 (Member)

Add motive they have a ton of games!

@inversion a few I from ewa that are mmorpgs are eden eternal, wizard101, and shaiya. Basically a MMORPG is a PC game where thousands of people can play together at the same time and fight monsters / other people who play the game. But also if your not sure you could try googling the same and see what pops up about it

@inversion woops meant to say game (cant type that well when im tired )


08-05-2011 04:46 AM #10 inversion (Member)

Would Battle Star Galactica Online count as an MMORPG?


08-05-2011 04:47 AM #11 phoenix (Member)

and adtomi. def. add motiveinteractive!


08-05-2011 04:58 AM #12 scotchsales (Member)

battle star galactica is an online game, but i don't think any network will allow you to run social traffic to it. (at least not that i've seen)

Think i'll be jumping in this competition haven't done really any type of MMORPG stuff on FB before so should be fun! I think the first initial hurdles will be ad approval and offer selection. And by ad approval I mean with the advertiser not FB. Seems that these MMORPG's since i've last checked have gotten very strict around what creatives/platforms you can use.


08-05-2011 05:03 AM #13 polarbacon (Moderator)

lets just run with this.....any lead gen game....most of those are MMORPG(massive multi-player online role playing game)......

Yes and thats what will make this fun as there is limits to what you can do via creatives and the like......

If in doubt what a mmorpg is either ask here, or ask your AM.

We have a bunch of these deals that have really been picking up over at EWA - we've been killing games internally for years now. Great niche to get into.

Are we targeting US only....???


08-05-2011 11:13 AM #18 movid (Member)

For the past few days I've already promoted an MMORPG on FB quite successfully. I spent 154 USD (and made 505 USD), do I still qualify with this or do I have to start something new starting today?


08-05-2011 01:14 PM #19 nusolutionz (Veteran Member)

will http://cpm.worldoftanks.com/ count as mmorpg too?

In addition to that: I've just hit the budget cap. I spent 196 USD, made 585 so 389 profit. I assume I'll have to find something else to enter the contest?


08-05-2011 05:34 PM #23 nick (Member)

Mmmm. Tempted. I've not really done gaming on FB before, but I think I'll give this a go and hopefully learn something from it.

Does 'Global Warfare' count as a game offer I could use? And can I run international?

Ya just try another offer, or another angle.

Thanks. So obvious I missed it.

thread updated


08-08-2011 02:47 AM #29 vuedoolor (Member)

can the game be a download offer or does it have to be lead generation? I tried looking at ewa but seems like most of the gaming offers are on pause cause I can't seem to select them.


08-09-2011 02:29 AM #30 shhhant (Senior Member)

Is the August 18 deadline the last day we could start this? Or is that when the 2 weeks need to be up by?
