Seriously can we make adverts?

I was thinking more along the lines of making a single newbie world wherein Ghosts are given passwords so they don't have to restart every single bloody time they log on - which is certainly hurting the "See how awesome this game is? You should upgrade!" campaign...
It'd be great if Graal could reliably give players x Free Hours to take a full tour, but we all know how that's gonna go...Moostehkrakish signs up 10 accounts, all named Moostehkrakish1-Moostehkrakish10, he plays through each of them until he's at his last 5 minutes, gets a Trainer, then Moostehkrakish1 drops 99,999,999 gralats in whatever equivalent of level14 you like. Then when he gets banned, Moostehkrakish2 does the same thing...better to let them see the world without touching. Believe me, once you've input your password enough times, "Buy the game and never have to remember your password again!" starts looking pretty damn appealing.

We could further discuss Partial Payment Plans and so forth, but that's the sort of thing that belongs in another thread.

If someone makes the banners, my site is ready to host a full banner (468X60), or a tower.

There's systems that make doing that a little harder, such as having to have a new email for each account. Also the account can only make 1 trial account per computer id / ip and such.

*shrugs* There are ways, but I doubt the higher ups would go for it. Nothing beats a kid with an entire school-lab-classroom full of unattended computers and nothing better to do with his time. Thus, for security concerns, Ghosts ought only be able to read from the server, and not interfere with other players. Should they even be visible? Should they be allowed to speak? *shrugs* It's debatable. But that's another thread.

's nice...I don't really see a lot I can say to improve it. It's definitely a start on the Kingdoms campaign...just the question of Should it be Kingdoms, or the Community, or All the worlds advertised at once, or...?

I can make more banners if you want :]

[bahamutstevetff]

why 2 GK ppl D:, suggestion, put a zone person in it, some people might be.attractid by the gunners while some by the medievil stuff;

[Tyhm]

let's use that same style, make alternates for the other worlds, then we can mix and match. Either market different banners to different audiences, or animate it to try and catch the eye of unknown audiences - bah, another medeval, another gun, WHOA WAS THAT AN ORC? AWESOME! You never know.
Someone's gonna say jazz up the middle...but I think the terrain works. You can say too much in an ad, overload the eyes...like how people don't read anything in malls anymore, especially "out of order, use other door" signs, just expect it'll be another ad. Besides, it leaves room for useful information, like Free trial, Free download, New and improved world editor, etc.

A thought...when we have the variations on this theme, maybe have it animate in waves? Like a left-to-right diagonal wipe, so the Knight's looking at a Ninja, then two Ninjas, a Ninja's looking at a Future Crook, a future cop and a crook, future cop and pirate...then we could put a different catchphrase with each scene-change.

I dunno, advertising ain't my forte. Should at least one character be female? I'm not suggesting go the typical Lara Croft, Adventure Quest, IMVU, SpaceWhatsit, GamersArcade, Lookie-Hotness route-while effective, we'd lose out in the long run from people expecting more hotness and less sword-swinging, but it seems it'd balance better with each gender on the banner.

the characters themselves are ugly, try to use the best (graphically) armor/items, heads, bodies, etc.
