Slideshow adverts before the SuperHero films next summer 2010. If my local curry house can afford a selection of screens advertising their restaurant I'm pretty sure NCWest can. Get those free trial discs into cinema foyers for the Marvel superhero fest Summer 2010.

You can bet DC won't miss out on the opportunity, I bet you'll see full-on trailers of DCUO running before the films!.

Absolutely. On both counts.

Yeah it'd be nice to see an ad for City of Heroes trailing in front of the next Marvel Movie.

And DC. Quite frankly any super hero movie will do the trick.

Arrghh.. if so the marketing of COX is stupid beyond believe. WOW is being pushed to every gamer in the world. It is in shops.. on walls advertizing.. on television etc.

But WoW brings in a £100 million pounds (ish) a MONTH! That's huge. Huge. So it can afford even more extensive marketing than it actually does.

COX isn't even buyable in the shops at the moment. Almost all boxes where sold out ages ago.

Not that I state that COX would win a competition. But it has been dead in every marketing option around the world.

This is something I dont understand at all. Statesman stated that the retention for this game is 90%. That is, pure and simple, a licence to print money. If you know your retention is gonna be 90% or even 75% then you really can go wild and spend spend spend to get the "punters" in.
The game should be, from a projections point of view, in a strong position. So, why they dont advertise, knowing they keep 75-90% of the player base for an extended period of time, I have no idea.

I'm posting a lot here...

And all this game needs is less than 1%.....

Please don't tell me there isn't an opportunity here cause I just don't believe it. Honest.
