Shattered Kingdoms

"As you all know, we are trying to place advertisements around places to raise interest in Shattered Kingdoms. The current advertisement banner is suitable, but we've been trying to come up with something somewhat more comical and entertaining to use. As of right now, this is an idea that we've tossed around: we are looking for someone who is able to create such a banner that we'd be able to use for this purpose.

The script:
- BLONDE KNIGHT ON LEFT SIDE WITH BLACKHAIRED KNIGHT ON RIGHT SIDE APPEAR
- BLONDE KNIGHT MOVEMENT UP/DOWN AS IF TALKING
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"I shall defeat thee in a duel of honorable combat, sir Knight!"
- BLACKHAIRED KNIGHT MOVEMENT UP/DOWN AS IF TALKING
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"Nonsense! The strength of darkness will consume your soul!"
- BLONDE KNIGHT MOVEMENT UP/DOWN AS IF TALKING
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"Indeed? Have at thee, foul wretch!"
- BLACKHAIRED KNIGHT MOVEMENT UP/DOWN AS IF TALKING
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"Prepare yourself!"
- BLONDE KNIGHT AND BLACKHAIRED KNIGHT MOVE TOWARDS CENTER
- FIREBALL EFFECT AS THEY GET CLOSE, THEN REPLACE BOTH KNIGHTS WITH SMALL PILE
OF ASHES
- FOCUS MOVES TO THE RIGHT TO SHOW DARK-ELVEN WOMAN
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"Well, the plan worked... mostly."
- RIGHT PILE OF ASHES MOVEMENT UP/DOWN AS IF TALKING
- SPEECH BUBBLE APPEARS:
"I hate you."

Post your results in this thread. The one we like the best will be used as our advertisement banner on MUDsites and other gaming sites.

This made me laugh out loud.

Constructive comments only, please. This isn't General Discussion.

The dialogue needs worked on. It sounds like something out of the Butterfly Effect 2.

Uh, then suggest something?

I would focus on races and classes, as well as alignments. What does SK have to offer? How many different race+class combos are there? Mention the quest system, the mentor system.. positive things, that while they aren't rare, are standard fare for newcomers to look for.

I think humor is going to be more effective at capturing attention than a run-down of features. The point of a banner ad is to get people interested enough to want to click and read the details.

I don't think listing all the features would be a good idea either. Though I think something more epic would be better. I think humor would be a horrible idea though, but I've thought that ever since I watched Zoolander.

I love it.

I'd like there to be atleat two more with the same sense of hilarity of these though.

One to show the light side manipulating things as this one shows the dark side...

...and one for the gray.

Friggen nice though. I want to see the real animation tho.

I would add in the grey aura dude, somewhere around...



And further:



Well it's an attempt to weave the third character in.
