Guild Wars 2

You may want to take a second look at that post, as it’s been clarified to reflect our practices on this issue.

Our Terms of Use for Guild Wars 2, derived from the Terms of use form the original game. Like that original Terms of Use, we did not permit the commercial use of our assets. This technically includes fansites that display advertising and YouTube videos that display advertising. However, like the original game, we support fans who want to share our assets (whether it is images or videos) in creative and fun ways. So while technically we didn’t permit the use of advertising because it is commercialization of our assets, we didn’t go after fansites or YouTubers who choose to display ads. As such, while it is against the letter of the Terms of Use, in practice we do not take down videos or fansites simply because they display advertising. However, if you ask us what is permissible by our Terms of Use, we provide the information as listed in the Terms of Use.

Hope that clears up this issue.

On a second note, this is off topic for this forum, so our moderators need to lock this thread.

Thank you.
