The advertising screenshots are a disgrace

[alyssah]

I was checking 'Fileplanet' for the downloadable games they sell & saw SoR was featured. I decided to pop in & check it out but could not believe the poor screenshots Ryzom had submitted. They give no feeling of the game, graphics or characters. To illustrate this I would like to give my opinion of what would help get this across (not just negative feedback).
1) As I think the characters in Ryzom equal or supercede the other MMOs I have played, I suggest the character selection (at logon) screen with the character perhaps waving (as mine does nervously) or, more suggestively, running her hands over her body.
2) Then the scenery should be displayed as there are many beautiful/horrendous vistas which do Ryzom credit. I would include the character complete with name & health bar to give it credence.
3) Here I would display the character being chased by an ocyx, zerx or kincher, taken from a front view.
4) I prefer a fighting scene with say a flaming sword being wielded over a magical scene. Again showing char name & health bar.
All these shots need to be in good light as so much detail can be lost in poor light.
If you get the time, check out the shots in Fileplanet and let me know if you agree. I also expect somebody cleverer than me to put together a set of four promo scenes which they think would be an improvement on the cra... err poor ad shots.
This shows we can complain & help at the same time. But will anyone take note? Lawrence!!!!!!!!!!
I also noticed it was about the dearest MMO for sale.
