Well having comercials all over the net would cause the illusion of a finished game,

Nono, I think that the history of Yliakum (or better the most important moments) drawn in stilistic pictures, with good music and good narration as intro would be much better.

I volunteer to be the large man, but it\'d mostly be a waist down shot.

Just kidding

I think it is a great idea to contemplate but I agree that actually doing it would be beneficially moot.  Way more noobs in the servers and complaining because of things that don\'t work instead of enjoying the things that do work vs increased account #s.  

There is a fairly good balance of people that have a clue or can get one and those that do not and never will.  To offset that balance will drive off some good people.  Right now it seems people join the game about as fast as people learn enough to get by and get started and can help others to some extent.  

I think it is good the way it is.

josephoenix, that one gets shipped with the ps platinium boxed set.

josePheonix, you do realize that you made that male say, \"I\'m a famous huntress\" right?

[Karyuu]

What of it? ;) Many people play characters that are of their opposite gender.

[Suno_Regin]

Especially Kran, I guess.

the first one could be one along the lines of a pbs slot. you know this program has been brough to you by...

but, here\'s another one. allows for a bit more animation and the like.

[setting: black space
vo, narrator (something along the lines of james earl jones): deep within the world there is an emmence cavern

[faintly something black can be seen approaching

vo, narr: within the cavern is a gaint stalagtite

[fly into the stalagtite. get occastional glimpses of small lit caverns and creatures

vo, narr: the stalagtite is hollowed out, and lit by the light --

[fly out of the stalagtite wall, out over a high altitude view of  yliakium

vo, narr: of the azure sun. a world--

[crash downwards to the 7th level. pause infront of a rainforested water fall.

vo, narr: of great beauty and --

[fly out over the central sea

vo, narr: and vibrant life --

[fly over two fishing boats. pull up. head inland. fly over a large port city.

vo, narr: populous cities and --

[fly up the escarpment to level 6. fly over desert, frequent ruins can be seen.

vo, narr: ruined wastes, of --

[fly off of desert and into grassland. two yliaki defending a group of villagers against a hoard of monsters.

vo, narr: heroes, and --

[fly over the monsters, a yliak is riding an ubernaught and hearding the monsters forward

vo, narr: villians.

[fly off of grassland into slightly hilly land. stop on one hill a yliak is lying in the shade of a tree.

vo, narr: this is the world of yliakium. your home.

edit: slogan correction

[josephoenix]

That would be a lot of work to make... you\'d need to model quite a bit of stuff.

Perhaps once the world is fleshed out more this would be more feasible, since you\'d just need to pull the map into a modelling program and probably enable meshsmoothing on a few things.

btw, the slogan is (I\'m pretty sure...) \"PlaneShift: A universe is not enough\"

Just to clarify, I guess I was thinking of these ads being done for a final rollout of the completed game.  

When we eventually get there, how about a commercial contest, with several winners?  The final selections could be hosted/distributed and all of the others could be posted on a \"rollout\" site, or something.

Ideas, that\'s all these are.
