Another Rare Flash of Genius

My favorite Guild Wars player name and guild name, so far …

Nasty

Some of you people aren’t even TRYING to come up with rp-type names. Crimony, I should have named my guy Read Afkgamer [DotCom] and slapped up a page redirect to the highest bidder.

Hey now … think of where that idea could go. An incredible synergy of gaming and product placement, that’s where!

You Are Hungry [PizzaHut]
Americas Favorite Beer [Budweiser] … not mine, but I can be bought.
Double Whopper Forthewin [BurgerKing]
ooo, how about a guild name [ComingSoon] with changing character names for upcoming flix?
or, Smoke Cigarettes [Yourmomwaswrong] … I’d have to get paid alot for that one.

And this is why I’m a marketing genius.

I had tried out Guild Wars a few months ago, at their first Beta event. Damn, maybe that was almost a year ago. (It was almost a year ago, I just looked it up. The blog never lies.)

We, meaning the guildmates we, discovered one of the best guild pranks EVER within the first few minutes. For the cheap seats, almost everything is instanced in GW. To do quests or travel in the countryside even, you portal into an instance, and can later portal back into a common or public area.

If you’re grouped with someone, they portal with you and, from our subsequent experiments, it looks like the group portals with you from wherever they are. Well, you can see the beauty here.

Guy’s talking to his trainer in town, groupmember portals out into Lakeshire, errr LakeSIDE in GW, the group is zapped over into the instance. The ultimate in gaming narcissism.

Well, *I* didn’t need to talk to anyone in town. *I* needed to talk to the guy in Lakeshire, err Lakeside. Whatever the fuck.
