An ad server (26) coordinates the matching of ads to demographic data of the game player (13), and properly accommodates ads in formats from game information (50) provided by game sources (32). The game player (1) is visually influenced by advertisements as he or she views the virtual world of the game, as plug-in software (2) replaces the default images with virtual pictures and figures utilizing an advertisement.
