Actually... I did a rather tongue-in-cheek one a while back. 
The ton of hate mail I got, however, was worth it.

Did anyone else find those "PSAs" hamfisted?
Samuraiko's was much better I thought.
Ok.. why does NC SOFT come with lame video's that take a long time and get more people annoyed the educated. And Sauraiko sets the point in only a few seconds!!?
Oh yes.. she actually knows the players.
ps. Also a subscriber.
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
"Subscribers" sounds so formal.
Can't we call them.. I don't know... groupies?
NC Soft's videos= Long winded and tiresome after 1 minute
Sam's video= Short, sweet, to the point
You just earned yourself a Youtube subscription young lady

That was utter garbage. It makes me glad I don't play Aion.

Yeah, I saw their initial one shortly before (or just after) my Aion sub ran out. It was horrible. Not all that visually interesting (though mildly amusing near the end,) and having all the pauses between bits of dialog was irritating. |

If nothing else, they should have had the in-game footage of the GMs nuking (literally) the RMT "stores" in there. With the players around cheering. Which wouldn't have been scripted - player vids of it are more entertaining than the official NC vids!
More proof Michelle needs to be hired

(Side note - I showed this video at my HeroCon 2008 panel on making vids, and the entire room just cracked up laughing when they saw it.)

The beauty of that vid is that it was short and to the point (and the bow at the end was absolutely epic).
Most telling of all is that the gold price has dropped substantially since you made that vid.

Yeah, the bow is just that last little "eff you" touch.As for "hazzing" a t-shirt, I need to get them uploaded. No idea about extra-extra-petite, but I'm sure you'll want the "I <3 Nerd Flirting" one.

The NCSoft ones above? Uhrr...not. Ham-fisted, boring, uncreative, overacted, etc. And most likely utterly ineffective.

Thanks! I had hoped to hit 1000+ YouTube subscriptions before the game's anniversary for when I post my tribute video, but I'm still short of the mark by rather a lot. Oh, well, hopefully the new one will draw in more folks. And one of these days, I need to get the resources to make the four live-action COH commercials I want to do.

Well, I personally thought the NCSoft videos fell flat in terms of comedy, though I do have to give them an "A" for effort.
I thought Dark_Respite's video was pretty good for a fanvid, though I do have to admit I've seen so many jokes using the "Mastercard formula" that it's become a bit stale. 
Though, when it comes to fanvids, I'll admit that I'm probably spoiled by Nico Nico Douga. When you have people making videos like this or (if you've got a fast connection and an HD monitor on your computer) this, it kind of hard for other fan videos to measure up.

I do my best with what I've got. Hell, my vids are totally inferior against the ones done by Aralcox, and that's still staying in the COH game engine. You start adding in original animation and/or advanced software and I'm not even a blip on the radar.

"funny video by NCsoft, especially cause they them selfs HIRE people for little money from poor countries TO make farmbots and sell kinah, so the company gets an extra dime out of it. sellers? farmers? they must be NCsoft employee, orelse they would not allow the bots and sellers to stay alive that freaking long.
Want to say to us its nonsens? fine, make a weapon item free for everyone that can only kill bots and sellers instantly but otherwise would be a useless weapon."
Some people really are THAT stupid.

Some call them RMTs. Gold-farmers. Power-leveling services.
Others call them Spammers. Account hackers. Bastards who caused the trial account limitations to be needed.
NCSoft got together with Rooster Teeth to make some PSA's about these jokers and Aion. But, really, its for all MMO's. Here are two videos that I've seen so far (thanks Massively).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPx95...layer_embedded
Now, I personally think we're a creative bunch here, so tell me - what would COH anti-RMT PSA's look like? Consider this an invitation to guess, or even post one you made yourself!
