	Daminada posted: I'm not saying that the game would have declined. What I'm saying is that if they marketing their game, it would have been much bigger than it was. Would it still have declined? Sure. But 2 years after it released it was one of the most exciting games out there, they should have been marketing their game and building their user base. Instead those choose to ignore that and came up with lame excuses as to why they couldn't get more players. Look at AoC, it's a streaming pile of crap. But they marketed the game and at release they had a decent number of subs... same with WAR. I'm not saying that marketing is going to increase the longevity of the game, that is up to the quality of the game. What I'm saying is that marketing will bring new players to the game if you do it.. that's what Mythic did not do. your missing the point... DAoC did have marketing.. they didnt have TV comercials.. but i saw ads online, and in magazines.. hell i used to see DAoC ads on msn.com WAR had the same type of marketing Campaign DAoC had.. ran by the same people... and yet your pointing out WAR as having marketing... but saying DAoC didnt.. when they were both advertised the same way... AoC and WAR both had/have 1 thing going for them DAoC didnt... and that is a giant pre-existing fanbase that has been around for longer then DAoC and yet Marketing hasnt helped those games at all.. yet you think it will/would have helped DAoC??? you sir are just seriously confused. -----signature----- -=no pity for the majority=-

	No, you are confused. To say that WAR was marketed in the same manner as DAOC shows you have no idea wtf you are talking about. You don't have to make commercials to grab new players.. but it is an avenue to do that. If you seriously think that DAOC was successfully marketed to the public then you need to right FAIL on your forehead and give up on life. If there ever was a game that could be considered a marketing failure it was DAOC. As said before, they ran ads in gaming magazines that catered to people who would have probably already played the game anyway. They ran ads on sites such as this one that hardly anybody knew about. They failed on a epic scale to bring new players into the game. If you can't see that, then there is no hope for you. -----signature----- Keep in mind almost everything I said here on these forums has come true exactly as I said and I was laughed at and insulted, as usual. --Xalaten

If you can't see that, then there is no hope for you. they ran ads for DAoC on msn, yahoo and other major sites, webcomics, blog sites and all kinds of things... wich is all they did for WAR ads as well. i didnt say mythics ads were successful, or WARS.. but you did say WAR had an ad campaign... and said DAoC didnt have an ad campaign... but they both had exactly the same type of ad campaign focusign on the same areas to place the ads -----signature----- -=no pity for the majority=-
