It is up for good now! sorry about that, we had 50gb in bandwidth used in one day so we kept having to up our limit, but the new host makes more sense and it has unlimited bandwidth. Link to your hearts desire!

I made a warrior but decided to not waste money upgrading armors, so i had him run me to draknors forge, he did and i recorded for fun

yes, ppl do this alot, but never recorded....it took 2 hours, video has been massivly cut to squeeze to 12 minutes.

dial-up need not attempt to watch.

forgive the music, it was 1:30am and i was tired, was not aimin for professionalism here.

The Run! Ascalon to Forge 94mb

Now that i have my knights armor I can start post searing!

*cries* I love my guild *sigh*

Nice guild recruitment video. Even better commercial for running people as you can honestly say you know how to do it. Funny ass song at the end too. :P

one of the members in my guild ran me there after I tried many countless times to get there and never made it even half way through the first area, Lonar's Pass(sp)

For all those against getting run there and want the path closed, well you suck

we all can't be as good as you.

gonna watch the video but still waiting for it to download.

Yeah that is a fun time. I did that with my warrior at lvl 1. I was getting people trying to call GM's to report me for hacking the game.

sry for the vid. quality, but at regular size it would have been 130mb...as for his sword, it aint a fellblade, i forget its name. When i recorded anyway i had fraps at 15fps and half-size with no sound to save space. it was about 20gb of space that way

imagine if it were normal and with sound. future films will be better, promise

I think you should have had the real Eye of the Tiger playing towards the end. good video but the music themes didn't mix IMO. Loved it though!

Loved it though! yeah, i was so tired last night and have like 10,000 songs on my puter sooo.... today i thought of good ones to use, but i wanted to just make the thing, one day i may change the music

hmmm....the Theme from Chariots of Fire would have been a good one! I was gonna do the Run Lola Run theme, I also wanted to make the Nike logo appear at the end saying Just Run It.

I wanna make a film of America winning the HoH just so i can use the song "America, F*ck Yeah", for no other purpose but to use that song! I love that song!

Oh, and u record using Fraps for those who asked.

Usually Running is so BORING but you made it interesting. A dramatic journey with Heroism and the triamph of the persistant. I noticed a 28% DP at Piken Square . . . that can't be too good. or was that on your screen as you watched her . . . im confused now, but still, it was awesome, I also frown upon running but ive gotten my fair share, i only do it with casters cos they need the armor desperately.

What happend with the DP is this, I tried to remove all of the display stuff for the record, and forgot to save that setting so in some scenes you will see I am dead with my displays up on screen, I am or was a lvl 5 now a 6

. I rushed and let myself die so i could watch him. He is a fully ascended and game completed warrior. (obviously) He ran I recorded, my 2nd HDD sacrificed the space. We did everything in 2 hours BUT i figure this info is not important as many do take breaks, we would stop for a few minutes in some areas to grab a drink or grab a bite to eat. The actual run time is polly 1 hour 30 minutes, we just noticed at the end when i got my draknors armor it had been 2 hours. my lvl 5 did NOT make that run, i still had pre-searing armor as I literally just left pre and said "get ur a$$ in ascalon dist whatever!" and we then ran, i never even got the xp from getting to post searing at that time

Thank god for teamspeak as we could chat during the run and were not as bored.

okay ... i was almost floored there for a minute ... thought ascalon had upgraded there armor and you as level 5 just ran while panning the camera ...

Still it is nice to see that kinda work put together .... thanks it was a pleasure viewing it ... and nice job ... I know how long these projects can take. I made a video for my guild at the end of the betas. Just shots of some fun stuff only 2 1/2 mins long. But more a beta memorial thing.

EDIT ******** Might I say ... beautiful work in the northern shiverpeaks ... perfect timing on that song.

I used Fraps to capture which has 2 versions a freebie which limits your capture session and I bought the full which has no limit. As for the editor, yep yep! it is a freebie! I just used Windows Movie Maker,.

Woah... nice. Especially the part where the runner got waylayed by two worms and an army of grawl, and still managed to pull out.

I ran a guildy from ascalon to forge myself. This was including all outposts (excluding missions) along the way. After I brought her to forge, we went back to beacons I ran her from there to druids overlook. Again, hiting all outposts along the way but excluding some missions. I even went to fishermans haven and sanctum kay. We also saw rotscale along the way. It was fun...

I died a few times when I got carried away talking and was body blocked. The total run took a long time because we talked so much.
