That is Eve, though not knowing the licencing stuff around her, that may be perfectly legal.

Edit: Is my spelling off? I'm still asleep.

I know that a while ago some graphics cards were giving guild wars trials in them...this could be one of those situations?

Thats probably it. Although the game would look fine on VGA with a lot less memory

GeForce 9500GT uses the same package:
http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba...gala95gt2.html
the box does not include GW game or trial ticket, and has nothing to do with GW.
so the image of Eve is used illegally...I assume.

Yes, because as we all know companies are dumb enough to do something against copyright law that would get them sued.

No.

Or perhaps they went over the heads of A-Net and got permission from NC-SOFT

I've seen Eve displayed in several Vid. Card packages. Make sense to pass around her image as a nice bit of side revenue for ANet.

Eve is just sexy, and it probably shoots ANET a royalty. Eve is the iconic GW woman, that and Cynn.

Personally, I would dig a graphic card with a decal of Eve or Shiro on the heatsink.

Happens a lot more often than you'd think; you have much too high view of the skill and rationality of people running companies.
However GW art has shown up in other places, e.g a Sarah Brightman CD, and apparently ANet doesn't have exclusive use of the concept art so the artist can "resell" it for other use. Like box art.
