Guild Wars 2

So, it has come to my attention that a photo shoot in China, meant to promote Guild Wars 2, ended up becoming a wide-spread hoax/rumor mill after someone dressed and disguised as an Asura had his picture taken when he went for a bathroom break.
A group of campers saw him near a stream and thought it was a fantasy monster, took pictures, and freaked out.
It was later debunked, but that is definitely one way to get some advertising! lol

Beat me to it. I assume it was KongZhong’s dime because we all know Guild Wars 2 doesn’t advertise in the west anymore.

Awfully tall, naked Asura. Or is it the proto-Asura that was blogged about way back when?

Hahaha awesome!

Now that is how you advertise!

They(China) should have hired a little person to do this not a tall person.

Lol. In some of those photographs taken of the “monster” I can see the line where the mask meets real flesh. Doesn’t look even remotely real… doesn’t really look like an asura either. Why would a creature so obsessed with success and intelligence walk around in leaves like that?

It was trying to blend in with the Sylvari?
