I hope I was not the only one to see it. Last night durring the Fresh Prince on Nickalodian there was a commerical ( I think for something like gameplay), and it showed Pyre, Vekk, and Ogden dancing around a water fountain. Vekks voice was a diffrent person, but it was rather funny.
Has anyone else seen this, cause I cant find the website they were advertising anywere and I'd like to see the commerical again.
omg, Guild Wars was just on TV

EH? This sounds interesting. It'd be great to actually see it... Didn't think they'd advertise, considering how poor ANET has been in that area.

Explains why I have never seen a commercial. 
Edit: Seems to be below that it wasnt an Anet/GW commercial, but something else (?). Wouldnt think Nickelodeon to be a good demographic to be advertising in anyway.

When Nightfall was released there was a commercial about it here in the Netherlands.

This was not a commerical for Guild Wars though, it just happened to be guild wars that was being shown. I do not recall seeing the location they were dancing at. It looked alot like the center fountain in LA but with snow all around it.
I'll have to watch Nike at Night again tonight and see if I see it.

It's probably a Gamestop spot. They have one that shows ET:Quake Wars, it's an ad for buying and trading in games at their store.

If I ever see a game advert on TV it seems to be for the Wii or the dual screen gameboy.

Someone in my alliance said he saw a GWEN commercial of some sort. He said that Vekk was dancing or something like that. This must have been what he was talking about..

I saw it also, it is a gamestop commercial, shows vekk dancing around the fire from the blood washes blood quest, where you get the spirit of the bear to follow you. pyre and ogden talking about getting crappy xmas presents and vekk dancing and saying he got a great xmas present and then the gamestop logo comes up.

After how annoying that commerical was why would I go to gamestop.? Sometimes I wonder if they do that purposely, make a crap commercial because you'll remember it.

I think what's more lame is that Vekk doesn't do this dance in game.
That aside, it'd be better if that commercial said "oh btw buy GW yo" or something equivilent. Otherwise people I gonna think "What the pluck?"

Meh, ET:Quake Wars commercial was funnier.
Achilles Antony
Yea, it's amusing, but it's nowhere near as good as the WoW commercials with Shatner and Mr. T.

Besides GameStop doesn't need a reason to be lame.

That commercial was horrible. lol. Vekk doesnt do that in game, so Anet sent them the video source I imagine.

Not that I condone what was done, but the Youtube commerical is what I saw on TV the other night. I thought it was funny, actually.
Like others have said the commerical is not for guild wars and unless you knew it was guild wars, you would never know what it was.

It was said that people wouldn't know that was Guild Wars just by looking at it, but I didn't know the "Lost Kitty" one was from ET: Quake Wars. Never played it, so I have no common reference. In fact, the last Quake-related game I played was II about 8 years ago.
Sniper22
heh both the quake wars and guild wars commericals were kinda funny

I would be interesting to see what the voices of Vekk, Pyre, and Ogdon would sound like if they did the add for guild wars on the up and up.

heres more crappy gamestop commercials.
I think Gamestop chose more "generic" NPCs (the face of GW are the characters on the cover, not Vekk/Pyre/Ogden) because they didnt want it to be a focus on the game, but rather on the commercial's message, no matter how crappy the writing.
