have anyone ever seen a commercial of guild wars on the television well i most certainly have not.
advertising on magazines and other websites really doesn't work gw needs to be advertised in a broadcasting network were millions of people will see.
they can start showing all the good things about gw then gloat about it having no monthly fees.
so my idea if anet makes a commercial to be put on tv on all 50 states of america and probably other areas i bet guild wars will hit 11 million units sold by the time gw2 has been released.
we would all like to see guild wars have more sales and more sales will support development for gw2 giving us a better game in the future.
if anyone has ever seen a commercial for gw on the television please tell me were you live and what channel you saw it in.
i know it can probably be pretty costly for anet to make a commercial but isnt it ncsofts job to pay for that kinda stuff their the greedy publishers and all that money will be made up with all the sales their gonna make.
guild wars tv advertisement.

Guild Wars isn't that great right now, and it's just getting worse because ANet is busy with GW2. It's too late for commericals tbh. Maybe for GW2, but definetly not for GW.

GW has alot to brag out really. Monthey Fees NONE would be one but also what about the PvP, so of the best out there? and the fact that is just pwns the shit out of WoW or any other MMORPG game out there.

GW being the best MMORPG is your opinion. I'm sure many people would beg to differ.
Exhonour
well id have to agree, but for gw2, i always wanted to see gw2 commercial, but not like their nerd wow one 
they really should advertise things like no monthly fees, awards, ratings, quotes, pvp, graphics
common gw has a lot to offer

Too late for GW commercials. Its the end of the game's cycle. Doesnt necessarily mean the game is dead/dying completely yet, but, there is nothing new coming out for it and most of the resources are tied up in GW2 development that might otherwise give new content, perform balances etc.
Maybe for GW2.

WoW just started using heavy TV Commercials.
It's all about demographics. Chances are, people who watch TV don't play video games on the computer.

WoW has no testicles lets not talk about it.
GW's lifespan is to short for commercials...actually thats not true.
The Peak selling point of most console games is 1 year, GW has about 2 years on it.
GW also cost the same as a console game and has the same 1 time payment as them.

And it's not too late to start advertising. Advertising would bring in a whole new wave of players who would start with one campaign and then buy the others. Advertising is very expensive, and it would have to bring in enough players to warrant the expense. So maybe NCSoft is taking the "wait-and-see" position to see what Blizzard's ROI is on advertising.

It is too late. ANet could care less about new players for GW. They're making GW2. They do not care if more people buy GW. They have our money, which is enough to last them until GW2. Advertising now is pointless, the games not going to get any better, and when GW2 arrives it will be mostly forgotten.

Since they cant market a specific upcoming chapter, they would have to advertise GW generally. Somewhere within the company are marketing types that probably sum up a marketing profile in reply to an idea like this as roughly "Most gamers that would have bought GW already have." Its these people you would have to convince that there are so many out there who would buy into GW now that they would make more than the advertising cost back. Hard to do, when I myself do think most who would have bought GW have. Not all, but most. Makes an ad campaign harder when you cant go and push a new chapter with an ad.
They'd therefore probably look at it as a little risky investment-wise and would rather use the funds they have to develop GW2. That at least was where my comments were coming from with "Its too late." Not implying the game is now somehow unmarketable or that it is dying. Its peaked though, yes.

advertising needs money, money from where? players. no thanks.

I don't know about you guys, but I think the game mechanics and all that is as good as the graphics in Guild Wars.
I've played a couple of MMORPGs with monthly fees, and they haven't really lived up to my expectations >_>
But of course this game is going to get old and eventually die out soon...it only has a single progressive storyline that can be finished in a week, and one day people are going to run out of things to do, get bored, and quit.

gw gets tv time on stations like G4TV along with all the other games. no one but gamers really watch that show anyways. thus it has free advertising, a gaming tv network does a review on GW, people see it on tv, log on the pc and play it. free advertisement is pretty swell.
thedeadlyassassin
They don't need a TV advertisement, they have tons of internet adds, magazine adds, and not to mention people from WoW, RuneScape, and other MMORPG's Transfer over to guild wars, as people from Guild Wars transfer over to other MMORPG's.
There's a big chain in MMORPG's, where everyone learns of the different games. I wouldn't know what WoW is if I hadn't played Guild Wars.

The only reason I've heard of Guild Wars was that I participated in the Beta.

Really i would like to see more MMO Adverts on TV if they were made in the same way of GW Proph + Factions Or Wow & TBC as those rocked, shorter versions with bits or so.
As really most people think of shoot'em ups when they think of video games imo, (CoD4 =Pwnage).
So really jsut more Game adds in general...nothing annoys me more then debit/credit/bank adds...seriously><

I know what ArenaNet could brag about gw!
"Hey kids come spend your money on guild wars, farm some money, make some friends, go to factions monastary and buy 15 bottles of rice wine, then drink all of them at the same time. See kids? That's what it's like to be drunk on 2 bottles of tequila."
"Play guildwars, the game that shows you how much fun it is to drink and watch the pretty colors"

warcrap
or how bout maybe anet runs some kinda of movement like for example 500,000 more units to sell for our commercial to go live since anet is extremely poor unlike blizzard they can do that which will urge many people to buy their second campaign and help anet on there way.

GW's time is up, they should've taken advantage of the publicity they were getting during the first two GW championships. Coulda made a batch of commercials back then showing just how intense PvP in the game could be. Then of course maybe we'd have an extra 100,000-200,000 players with about 10% of those to come onto Guru and join the whine fest!
Edit: I don't watch TV, anything I want I download and watch on my PC. Screw cable!

Maybe remake this thread into create your own GuildWars commercial tagline?
"Guildwars! Where lag comes to breed!"

GW is too old to benifit from TV advertising.
Hardly any games in Australia advertise on TV anyway, so it really doesn't matter.

The number of 40-50 year olds that I've seen who buy those things is ridiculous.
