Hakai, yes. As a test, I named my droid my character name and it took.

Heh... a BLL is quite the expensive billboard.


I have no problem with it... except when people park them right on top of the ticket collector.

I have to say I am guilty of this. While it's kind of a pain, I have to tell you that my BLL billboard brings in about 25% of my buisness. I sell about 1 a month and seems as they are expensive, they make about 10% of my net income a month. Until they actually have a reason to exist, this is as good a reason as any. Besides like everyone else mentioned, its much better than spamming and gives the city a feel of more droids being present.



Oh and on the naming. You do have to use dashes or a special char to get the spaces. And BLLs are awful to get to take a name with these characters. It took me an hour to get mine just right the way i wanted it.

BillBoardLifters rule! I get tons of comments about my "cute" BLL (it's pink!). As many have pointed out, advertising is the best use for the no-module droids right now.
