In Search of Fan VideosOne of the easiest ways to explain the complexity of what occurs in MMORPGs is through fan videos (especially to non-gamers). They offer compact, visually engaging distillations of what would take many words to explain. To that end, I am trying to compile a set of high quality fan videos (in terms of content and video resolution) that document the many interesting social phenomena that emerge in MMORPG environments. Please email me links to videos with the subject "MMORPG Fan Videos". Submitted links can be in the following categories or any particularly meaningful videos you have come across. I will then include them on this page for other readers and for reference. Submitted video links may be raw footage or edited footage, but in either case should have decent resolution. Submitted links should be to videos with both good content and visual appeal. The goal is not to create an exhaustive list, but to have a selection of great fan videos. 1) Memorials / Tributes. Footage of memorials or tributes to real life events or real people. - Teletha's Memorial (DAoC) 2) Combat/ Raid / RvR. Footage that showcases the complexity of the organizational and leadership skills needed in a large group combat or large scale raid. - Drakulv Executioners (DAoC) 3) Funny Moments. Footage of hilarious moments or occurrences in the world. 4) Scripted Play / Music Video. Edited footage that uses the MMORPG as a stage for a music parody or scripted play. - Ice Ice Baby (SWG) 5) The Complexity of Play. Footage of how game play involves a lot of work. Crafting professions (such as in SWG) would be great examples. - Building a Pyramid (A Tale in the Desert) Comments

There's a nice video montage of a recent event in "A Tale in the Desert" at this URL - it documents a group of 100+ players assembling an army block pusing machines, and building a huge pyramid over the course of about 3 weeks. Very representative of the spirit of the game... http://atitd.uttley.info/PoMW.zip Posted by: John S. on July 13, 2004 5:21 AM

I'll try to locate some better raid videos for you to showcase that involve more then 16 people. Either that or I'll end up making another video for this purpose and for you to take a look at. There is a ton of stuff out there just have to find it. -jon Posted by: Jon on July 15, 2004 5:35 AM

This page has got links to some FFXI videos, some are music videos, others are videos from NM battles and weapons skills. Most of the music videos are pretty good. Posted by: Sofia on July 21, 2004 12:15 PM
If you're going to download the E&B video "Go Beyond", make sure that you have the DivX player, and then rename the file with a .divx extension. I created this using the DivX codec, and I couldn't persuade them to change the extension once it was posted. Barry Kearns (aka VekTor) Posted by: Barry Kearns on July 24, 2004 2:52 PM

Seen the demise of E&B within a matter of hours, and the amount of work people have been making of video footage, there should be good video material soon at Http://WWW.EBportal.com Search the site for footage and youll find why we all cried at the end.

The guild Mirage (also responsible for the "Has anybody seen my corpse" video) has a number of EQ related movies at their site. They have a very good flash animator http://home.att.ne.jp/surf/mirage/ The 'old file server' has CCH and HASMC videos, while the newer movies are linked along the side. Love your research Posted by: Kylinee on October 7, 2004 3:22 PM

Does anyone know where I can find that old DAoC video with Papa Roach's 'Last Resort' playing and the Albs are making fun of Kugnar? I'd really appreciate it thanks a lot. Posted by: Matt on May 25, 2006 8:04 PM
