Wait, I already have a GWG account? From 2008? Huh. I'd forgotten entirely. Oh, well.

Anyways. Here's an interesting facebook image.



Now ignore the fact that both those people look like douchbags and the fact that I still have the "how to take a screenshot" tutorial open in the tabs at the top. We're looking at the ad in the bottom right corner. The one for Mythopolis. The one with Generic Dervish Girl in it.

What? Is that legal? Isn't that image copyrighted?

EDIT: Interesting facebook image actually interesting now.

I totally ignored the Dervish and focused on the Paragon. In fact I was like wtf is the OP talking about Dervish? When a Paragon in all his glory is right there. Yes I'd say that is illegal in fact I'd send that to Anet support let them deal with it. Awesome find, and yes I see the Dervish too.

MYTHOPOLIS is a free strategy browser-based game based on the history and mythology of ancient Greece, where players construct cities, train armies, and hire legendary heroes and gods to battle alongside their friends in an epic struggle for world conquest.


Facebook-integration

Mythopolis is fully integrated with Facebook, making it easily accessible for players, and allowing them to share their feats and accomplishments with friends. Friends can form alliances with each other, challenge their heroes in Stadium duels, or attempt to completely demolish each others’ cities and pillage their land.
At first when I saw the title I thought you were going to talk about Gamestop's release date for GW2.

Right, since people who can't afford an art department of their own are going to be so easy to get millions of dollars out of...

Suing is never easy, but you have to protect what is yours. I'm sure they will.

Heh, funny how we all had the same thought: sue them, ANet, so you'll have more money to do exciting stuff
