not that I'm not against the idea (cos I think a commercial for the game would be fun to do...)
but... uh... we're already having problems with gold farmer spam and 2 overcrowded servers... I think we need to iron some more internal things out before we toss up some adverts on prime-time national TV....
... but that's me.

Depends on what kind of commercial you are doing...
local, jam as much information as humanly (or inhumanly) possible into 30 seconds following a lame and uninteresting formula set by a man in a suit paid to tell you how to do it.
national informational, has good information about the business etc... most likely has some kind of sales pitch.
national branding, mostly a 30 second short that catches attention and spotlights the product or service and has next to zero information.
Sure, there are others... but lets start with this..

Well, im kinda based my idea on adult swim's style of commercials. There more informal and easy going.
I understand that we have issues with farmers, but something like this would take at least 2 weeks to make once we get an idea done anyways (ie the fan invasion video took over 2-3 weeks to make and edit).
I think there is several styles we could go with. The best example I could think of was the Cryptic made video for Recluses Victory. (Link to WMV file: ftp://ftp.coh.com/movies/recluse_trailer_640.wmv)
I kinda like this cause it shows the 2 different sides of COH and COV, so it shows that appeal for Good vs Evil and I love how it switches between heroes and villains through out.
Easy. Just hire Studio Pierrot and ANIplex to make commercials featuring characters created by the players in one-on-one fights.
You'd have people lining up to play.
I was playing around with this idea, sadly I cant get any creative juices flowing to spark an idea.
I was thinking of making up a commercial that could be used for advertisements on TV. The only station that comes to mind would be cartoon network during adult swim. Its the only station that I can think of that would "fit". (Note I only have extended basic cable).
Can anyone think of some ideas for a 30 sec commercial that could be used to advertise the game?
