WotC Ads

[Yair]

Couldn't help but notice the WotC ads for their miniatures in this site (guess they're doing their job then - well, at least drawing attention to themselves, which is a start). I'm wondering if this is a new development - did WotC had commercials over at ENWorld previously? If not, is this part of their efforts to increase their online presence? I hardly think they really need to raise people's awareness of their miniatures line around here; is this an attempt to build up good will? To help ENWorld?

Seriously, what ads?

I'll move this to Meta.

Yeah, WotC ads are a new development. People claiming publically that they aren't needed is probably... unhelpful to the long term financial stability of this site!

For myself, I'd like to make it clear that I had no idea who this "WotC" company was, did not know they produced "miniatures", and am very grateful for the ad which recently informed me of such.

Huzzah for advertisers! Sterling folk, all of them!

Yep! Do you remember the dragon-themed banners from last year (or was it the year before?)

Cheers

Uhm yes, of course. Me Too

Plane Sailing: No, I don't remember, but there are very honorable and worthy things on the list of things I don't remember. It's rather long.

Get used to them, they are not going away

On this site these are more like reminders that ads since everyone on here can probably recite the D&D product release schedule through the next 12 months.

Besides product ads, there will be some event based ads in the future to drive attendance to WWDDGD and D&D Experience.

Fine by me as long as they don't keep messing up the formatting of the page.

Not me. Until a product starts generating a significant amount of buzz on these boards, I'm usually oblivious.

[Oliver Stone] It looks like a conspiracy by WotC to take over EN World, covertly making it part of their DI most likely in a subversive effort to squash any negative comments about WotC and its products. [/Oliver Stone]

I order another box of minis every time I see that ad. Just doing my part.

I'd never even heard of D&D before these ads started showing up. I had always wondered what people were talking about on the messageboards but was too embarrassed to ask.

I couldn't help but notice that the WotC are really wide and make me need to side scroll. That really, really blows, by the way.
