I moved from Tri to Virtue because I play weird hours, and there always seems to be people on. I loved Tri, it is the friendliest server, but it was dead.
I still hate marketing, after 1 mixed drink, and 2 beers I seem to hate them more.

The role of Marketing in Paragon Studios does seem to be more one of Information Management/Concealment. Any long-termers will be able to tell you a story of the interplay between Positron and Ross "the Marketing guy". I know that the timed release of information to the public is a part of marketing but, by golly, it's not the only part!
Heck, I'm not doing anything much productive at the moment Ross, send me down some flyers and I'll start a mail drop around my city, internet cafes, universities, role-playing groups etc.

Apparently, Scott Adams is dead on when he depicts marketing as a bunch of evil trolls that hate everyone.

The first time i saw that ad i was utterly flummoxed. "Uh.. what? Wait... what?! The. hell. What is the point of this commercial?! Wow, that ad agency is staffed by idiots." The comments for the video are pretty spot on as well.|

What I think would be a neat idea would be to have a contest where the players submit ideas for advertising (since, as players, we know what might work to get us interested in the game), and the winner has their ad actually made.
Of course, you'd need rules on budget, special effects, content, and so on, but still...

I'm starting to think that there was a screw up, and we somehow kept the marketing team from Cryptic...

My suggestion is, take advantage of what (little) Marketing has already done: hit ftp://ftp.coh.com/movies and start sharing them with others. Several of the older ads for the game are on there (including the CGI ones) - use them to spread the word. (I've already suggested to the mods that whoever handles Paragon Studios' YouTube channel should put ALL of these on there for easy YouTube relinking and embedding.)

Xacktar's "Boom De Yada" (with modification) would make an awesome CoX commercial.
That it hasn't been done proves that marketing hates us!

Seriously. Although, yeah, if you fancy US times, get a US copy. But if you live in the EU, I'd get an EU copy.
