Except make the trailer 1/2 as long. I was dozing off by the 3 minute mark.

The Official Aion Trailer for "Assault on Balaurea" THIS is the kind of thing I'd love to see for GOING ROGUE or other major issues/expansions for COH. Michelle aka Samuraiko/Dark_Respite |

Funny, I thought that it looked grainy, choppy and angular. It did not inspire me to want to buy or play that game.

How about some advertising or even...gasp...a boxed set for Europe. Yeah I know, we´re second class players to you and not worth that stuff but one can dream, right?|

Which is meaningless since they don't ever release actual numbers. Anything you read in the forums is pure speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt. Both there and here |

Another idea... Have contests like "have your toon become so-and-so's side kick" or "have your toon become so-and-so's love interest" and add that to the game.
Or have a contest for a mascot character or something like that. The devs are always saying they don't want the characters to feel always like second banana to the NPCs...well then why not feature some of them or put some of them on the boxes. That would go a long way with relative ease.

Which has nothing to do with their graphics requirements.

I can't even imagine the logistical nightmare that would be. It'd be prohibitively costly enough to just have to sort through the thousands and thousands of entries that you'd get for something like that, let alone judge them all (because they're sure as hell not adding someone to the canon at random).

Durakken doesn't think through: Another idea... Have contests like "have your toon become so-and-so's side kick" or "have your toon become so-and-so's love interest" and add that to the game.

Dec out.

Looks like significant pushback from the community regarding Blizzard's intent to require real names on their forums.
CoX should start promoting the fact that heroes and villains have hidden identities that will never be revealed...
**raises eyebrow**
[sarcasm]Nice ending to the article, too.[/sarcasm]
"And here's a video to remind you that we're talking about geeks so they're more to be laughed at."
Sheesh. I know this isn't a big issue to the world at large, but that was a touch over the top.
Dec out.

F2P portal GamersFirst has already announced a promotion based on this line: "Play Anonymous. Play GamersFirst". They're offering special features for the next month for their titles War Rock and Sword 2 by signing in with the code "StayAnonymous".|

Meanwhile, CoX players are already coming up with ad slogans for our game:

Well if thats a concern make sure you work with the firm at the other end to make the ads appropriate to the game.

Wouldn't there be concerns of tackiness if you started seeing Billboards advertising shampoo? PS - Did you notice I ignored the bacon question? |

When I first got here everyone went on a nd on about how the movies being offered never changed. I thought thats silly. Look at all the neat stuff we can do.
3 years later I can see there point.
Now that I have typed that I realise that isn't your thing so please forget I mentioned it. I would just delete this post but that would simply take too much effort.
Enjoy your day please.
