Does the use of this icon in other games violate any GWG legalities? - Guild Wars Forums

Found this image which is very similar to Conjure Phanatism on another game.. and was wondering if them using it is against any of GWG's or GW's legal statements.

LMK.

Zomg I know that guy he was on the back of the milk carton, it's Mending!

fiery... yea I'm not gonna go there.

Captain, contact anet and let them know. That IS the conjure phantasm art. Contact Anet with the violator and they'll take care of it.

Well I can simply have the violator remove it.. I'd rather do that so noone gets in trouble. :\

Well it is a rpg, i think they'd be lienent with this because you know, if D&D was to copyright every last thing they had then we would have basically no rpg we have now adays..

Anyone heard of dota? Since they used that when they did a skill update awhile ago

That is the exact skill I'm talking about, Makubex. XD

Any idea which came first? Conjure Phanatism or Haunt?

Yes, it does violate guildwars legal info.

Makubex · Jul 28, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

GW had it first, since I remember the day when dota had that new skill update, they used that conjure phantom image and I was like "lol wtf that looks exactly like conjure phantom, he must of copyed it from gw". But I never really did anything

Captain Arne Is PRO · Jul 28, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Well I'd like to prevent IceFrog from getting into any legal trouble.. -.-

Makubex · Jul 28, 2006, 07:19 PM // 19:19

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the image was given by another player, so it wasn't the main ppl of dota's fault, but they still used it...so yeah
