This is what I call an advertisement !Announce Warlord with impact !
Time Square was not prepared!Oh, wait...wrong xpac. Still a fun way to advertise the expansion!
It's nice to see that my subscription money is being spent so wisely! I much prefer a dramatic, public art installation to things like retaining achievement points that I've worked hard to earn, a system that financially supported my guild, and a better quality game or of life in-game. I am just ecstatic about my cash paying for this made-to-be-ignored-in-a-few-days (hours?) piece that I will never see except in photos and don't care about even now. Then again, it fits well with Blizzard's history of promoting the game with has-been and never-really-were "celebrities" like Mr. T, Chuck Norris, and Ozzy Osbourne. One can always tell when a culture is in decline when the substance gets less investment than the hype about the substance. This is just one more example of why I worry about the survival of the game I most enjoy.
Lol nice advertisement (Y)
<looks at my Karazhan Gorehowl> I want that one!Sooo epic!
Even my wife, who would never ever EVER set foot in Azeroth, thought it was pretty awesome.
Verry cool axe
"Look there, he left his weapon behind" Seems Garrosh left it while traveling back to future! ;)
I don't think it's so cool. If anything, it underlines that marketing folk are corporate flunkies, and not true nerds. Because my impulse wasn't "That's cool," it was "That axe is massively oversized for what you're trying to portray. Fire your marketing department for having a lack of conception of size. The Grom that would wield that would have to be sixteen feet high at a minimum to relate to the videos that have already been released."Not to be the Comic Book Guy, but Blizzard, I am disappoint with your overreach.
I find your lack of transport speed disturbing*choke*
"For the one who pulls Gorehowl from the taxi, shall be named the True Warlord of all Azeroth!"
This means he's complete unhinged!
It looks like someone said that WoD is stupid. And then the axe owned him.
Amazing!
Dammit why do all the best things happen in new york?Oh wait.
That's .. one big axe... Does this mean real orcs are that big D:
that's awesome
The weird thing about this promo is that anyone who's not familiar with WoW would walk away thinking that the game is about huge ugly creatures with axes rampaging through New York. That story has been done to death—monsters, aliens, a giant ape, robots... you name it, we've seen it invade a big city.I think a big promotional stunt like this is good, but the way it was done misrepresents the game, making it seem like it has a tired old cliché storyline. If the goal is to get NEW people interested in it, I don't think this is the smartest way to go about it.
That looks so sick!
