There's a big chain in MMORPG's, where everyone learns of the different games. I wouldn't know what WoW is if I hadn't played Guild Wars.

Oddly enough, I had never heard of Guild Wars during my heavy WoW playing.

The only reason I've heard of Guild Wars was that I participated in the Beta.

It's all about demographics. Chances are, people who watch TV don't play video games on the computer.

I'm a stron enthusiast of both

Really i would like to see more MMO Adverts on TV if they were made in the same way of GW Proph + Factions Or Wow & TBC as those rocked, shorter versions with bits or so.

As really most people think of shoot'em ups when they think of video games imo, (CoD4 =Pwnage).

So really jsut more Game adds in general...nothing annoys me more then debit/credit/bank adds...seriously><

I know what ArenaNet could brag about gw!
"Hey kids come spend your money on guild wars, farm some money, make some friends, go to factions monastary and buy 15 bottles of rice wine, then drink all of them at the same time. See kids? That's what it's like to be drunk on 2 bottles of tequila."
"Play guildwars, the game that shows you how much fun it is to drink and watch the pretty colors"

warcrap · Nov 22, 2007, 03:11 AM // 03:11

or how bout maybe anet runs some kinda of movement like for example 500,000 more units to sell for our commercial to go live since anet is extremely poor unlike blizzard they can do that which will urge many people to buy their second campaign and help anet on there way.

Yeah, why advertize GW1 if it will be over shadowed by the sequal?

I'm going to let ANET worry about the advertising.

GW's time is up, they should've taken advantage of the publicity they were getting during the first two GW championships. Coulda made a batch of commercials back then showing just how intense PvP in the game could be. Then of course maybe we'd have an extra 100,000-200,000 players with about 10% of those to come onto Guru and join the whine fest!

Edit: I don't watch TV, anything I want I download and watch on my PC. Screw cable!

Solus Spartan · Dec 27, 2007, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Maybe remake this thread into create your own GuildWars commercial tagline?

"Guildwars! Where lag comes to breed!"

pamelf · Dec 27, 2007, 03:50 AM // 03:50

GW is too old to benifit from TV advertising.

Hardly any games in Australia advertise on TV anyway, so it really doesn't matter.

A lot of more traditional MMOers will see that as a flaw TBH. No monthly fees mean less continued support.

Off-topic: I hardly ever watch TV. I'm out with friends, my girlfriend, or chatting it up on MSN. Guild Wars is for fun.

On-topic: The least they could do is a picture like this for 30 seconds. Not much effort.

Click at your own viewing risk. Dont' complain to me about ceisures.

Oh yes... because showing a bunch of nerdy 16 year old asian kids playing in front of a computer is a great way to attract a new fan base. Games are trying to become MORE socially acceptable, not less. That's why the Nintendo DS/Wii is trying to advertise the way it is... and doing quite well with that approach. The number of 40-50 year olds that I've seen who buy those things is ridiculous.

Anyway, some good proof to avoid the "professional gaming" spin....

There's certainly a lot about guild wars that I enjoy that isn't in other MMORPG's
