Three things cannot be long hidden, the sun, the moon, and the truth.

The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.

I don't think it is that sexist rather quite amusing.

I like this ad I saw the other day:


Conan Vids Corsair 800d Case/i7 930/EVGA x58 760 Classified/Corsair Dominator 6GB 1600/Corsair HX1000 PSU/GTX 580/Intel X25-M SSD/2x WD 1TB Blacks/Corsair H90 cooler / 1x 28" 1900x1200 monitor/ G-19 Keyboard/ G500 mouse

Just saw the AoC banner at the bottom of the forums page. The ad reads (one line at a time, to add emphasis)

"This is mark

Mark just got his head lopped off

By a girl"

 

Seriously? So blatantly sexist. What female would want to pay money for shit like this?

 

Seriously stop making threads like this. It ain't sexist its funny.

I like this ad I saw the other day:

 

Lets see - The caster guy in the picture is... hmm Spellweaving(?  While the Melee guy is executing a combo?
And the dialogue hints at the mature orientation of the game?
Yes. Not bad at all - Even highlights the "Massive 2-player" feeling.

No seriously: IMO This ad sucks!

Sorry to see that the hard work from the dev team is still being marketed by a bunch of condescending PR-amateurs.

The only sexist thing here is the OP suggesting women are smarter then men by not buying into crap like this

Why do I keep reading these forums?

Halandir, wether you like the ad or not is completely irrelevant from a marketeers perspective. The only relevance is if it gives their product more attention and if it increases sales. 

If this ad, which of course has some messages that are debateable, works very well because it captures the attention of the target. Wether it increases sales or not remains to bee seen. 

Since we are debating this ad right now and we can safely say that it has caught our attention, you should know that other companies with similar product will now start to use similar messages (ie debateable) in the near future. Funcom has led the way, like it or not.

Oh I agree, but that does not prevent me from thinking that the ad sucks.

Going after the lowest common denominator is a well known strategy in marketing, when you have limited room for experiment or simply lack imagination.

You are probably right that we may see more MMO companies doing that if there is a sudden population explosion in AoC.

One thing is interesting though: It seems Funcom is now taking a step away from another of their original marketing ideas.
It would be funny to hear Funcom proclaim: "We are targeting a mature audience - BIATCH!"
