lol :D Yes, you're right Zippo :) I'm not sure about your choice of MTV, but I think if Nevrax could afford more advertising, they'd do it. I remember adverts in the UK gaming press - PC Zone (bleh mainstream), Edge (for teh win! ahem...), PC Gamer (pfft, fifa-loving EA sycophants...did I say that out loud?). Big, nice double-page adverts late last year. However, I dread to think what those adverts cost Nevrax - we're talking top-flight UK gaming press.

I would imagine (guess!) that 10 seconds on the main MTV channel would be 5000 GBP or more - that would including help with producing the advert, and for that price I imagine a fairly low-key timeslot. How often the ad would air is anyone's guess - with the kind of big-hitters advertising there, you'd be up against companies paying many times the figure you have.I'm making the numbers up, but I could also be underestimating. I've seen the rates for 'local' advertising on British terrestrial channels, and it's frighteningly high - and that isn't even national coverage...

EDIT: And just imaging advertising Ryzom in 10 seconds :) You'd need one of those guys on the US TV ads that reads the terms and conditions at the end, a whole paragraph in 10 seconds without breathing :)

I'm with Rogmar on that one. I love this game, but telling people it's about invasions and fights against the kitin would be very misleading.

Things look to be changing though, I wouldn't be surprised about a Gibbai or Anti-Kamis invasion. And Phaedrae's warnings for our upcoming raid on the lairs was very ominous. Gives me goose bumps ;)

Outposts should(and probably will) be their jumping off point for another mass marketing spree. Here's hoping anyway, hehe.
