Well..I beleive I\'ve seen similar ideas in a few places, and I dont see the point of it but, Iwould still make for an intersting commercial I guess. I doubt Planeshift will ever have a commercial which is why I dont see the point, and Id much rather see a sweet animated rendered version instead.

[Avarus]

... very short I think (probably not enough money )

[Karyuu]

I have the most amazing animation idea for that. *click-save* For the To-Do List! \\o/

[Bereror]

You forgot to show the message \"Server is not responding. It has probably crashed and will be restarted in 5 minutes\" at the end of your commercial  :]

[Draklar]

I don\'t think there\'s a point in realistic talking about commercials, seeing as this seems to be for fun only :P

[steuben]

yep. it\'s all in fun. mostly just a creative exercise.

[Hellios]

well it would probably bring in alot more characters, a good thing and a bad thing. It means more players to teach about the game but also makes the game alot more populated which i think it needs. But still i really doubt that this will be made soon, if at all.

[Halvord]

That\'s a carbon copy of that Sims commercial. :p  Don\'t give me that look, you know it\'s true.

[Suno_Regin]

I think a Planeshift cartoon would be nice. Since it\'s a roleplaying game (and has mythical creatures) special effects would be kind of cheesy, with magic and all, so a cartoon could suffice.

People make their own stories all the time, so you would just have to fit the pieces together. Almost everyone\'s story corresponds with the next one way or another, such as the Odessa stories, and my Mitaki stories.

/me pictures the Planeshift anime series.

My dear fellow, you have it all wrong!

Actually, we have masscom students here at the University I work at who do this kind of thing all the time--just for class projects.  What would be the harm in having one made and then distributed all over the web?  A couple students here just were finalists for the X-box commercial contest.  

I actually love the concept--and it would actually have a lot more impact done very simply, as steuben originally wrote it.  The idea captures the idea of a RP community, the \"faces behind the scenes,\" as it were, and the positive side of imagination very succinctly.  Simple, but elegant, it speaks to me!  

[Shadeslayer]

I agree with Danok, especially about the RP point...we don\'t want a bunch of people who think the game is nothing less but something to fool around with...

[Avarus]

Maybe some glitches and bugs (like Akkaio) and a server crash at the end and it would be all soooo very realistic   .
