Probably the same one that's at

Wouldn't be the first time a game was advertised before a movie.

I think EQ1 had a spot in movie trailers before Luclin's release.

The EQ ad with the two ladies in a bar "...he's opened up a whole new world for me" was shown before The Two Towers.

Still think the best game/movie commercial deal was the Ghost in the Shell (one of the euro versions)/Syndicate Wars deal.
Was the usual Syndicate Wars trailer thingy as one of the trailers in front of the movie, and in Syndicate Wars level 2 or 3 one of the buildings had a small movie commercial for Ghost in the Shell running on a billboard.

Why are trailers shown before movies? Aren't trailers supposed to trail behind something?

That looked like an ad for mannequins.

sounds like he's been to a recent Fan Faire. "Povar sucks" has become a bit of a mantra as I recall

Everquest had an ad spot in the movie "A Knight's Tale" didn't see it in theaters, but when I rented the movie it was there.

Whoa, the Orchestral score of the EQ theme is quite sweet in fact.
Edit: the sweet killing of those trolls was unexpected and appreciated.....
