I agree this could be a great promotional tool.

Would be appealing to some people explain the socialise and exploring aspect.

I also think a pretty big feature is the way the map follows you about, makes the screen and game seem a lot less flat.

But what I would love to see a video of is someone trying to narrate a playerfight in realtime.

Example Script:
Ok I am out patrolling the Krynnish plains see if I can find some action.
Bah Pretty empty today lets try the Holm.

Using my cool teleport to get there fast.
Like this boat here, its slow, plenty of people been killed on this.
dum de dumm
K at the Holm.
Using tracking now to see if anyone passed this way.
Sweeeeeet fresh tacks leading south.
Probably someone at the shadow elves but lets check the bicorns first.
Bicorn corpses, nice still fresh.
I don't know why people don't destroy their corpses and hide the signs they have been here, maybe they aren't all as paranoid as me. Ah well.

K Lets see who it might be.
Checking my who list, checking newbie list, checking RMC club.
Checking my torque list, I have a lot of peoples torques remembered.
Hmmmm.
Looks like it could be a shadow union or a spirit circle, hope its the Union guy.

Time to go into stealth mode. Going to use a zmud script to automatically sneak in the direction I press.

K found them its the Spirit Circle one. This could be tough.
Maybe we will catch them unprepared.
Attacking them.
Adding the roleplay bit: "Let the hunt begin."
Dam I love the holm..

They are standing and fighting thats good, lets block them.
They are either confident or asleep.
F^&K that hurt!

Sh*t they are blocking me now.

If I don't get them straight away they will out heal me.

*talking very fast now*
Sh*t this isn't going to plan.
We are even health but they will hurt more when I am hurt.
RUN , AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGH f*&K'n block.
block broken time to play cat and mouse
Not going to the gate yet they will expect that.

*silence & heavy breathing.*
Phew that was close.
Made it to the saferoom. Time to retreat and fight another day.

I think such movies shoud be converted into flashes and published on genesis webpage.
Also, after discussion with inet makreting specalist, there is an idea in creating promo page with big flash, what should look like real short movies (for exmple, combat from any fantasy movie for 1-2 sec, than splash, and combat from Genesis, and main message - Imagination is better then any video card, then same squence for chat in pub and so on).
We also come out with idea of advertising banner, what also should send that message - "Imagination is better then any video card". Should looks like sequence of screenshots from Wolf3D till WoW, and then replaced with text and real photos or movies, showing what picture in your mind is always better then in any graphical computer game.

Check e-mail.

About youtube. No youtube. It should flashes on new Genesis website.
