Pretty excited to watch this once I get home.

watched it, good job bro...only thing I would have done differently is i would have talked about how DAOC was the first to really focus on pvp in MMOs and how WOW was the first to focus on casual gamers....to me u need to talk about these 2 games a bit more. But you got everything else right.

You also need to mention how AO was basically the best MMO ever made, second only to classic UO and classic EQ - and drop some eve love in there. Never played it but people get raging boners over how sandboxy it is.

yeah I totally forgot about eve and the comic books ones. I had already spent over 8 hours on the video and just wanted to get it out the door before i never finished it, LOL. I will make another one next week maybe to talk about some more in-depth features that MMOs brought to the table

It's definitely a great start and I thoroughly enjoyed it - great work

Also did AC really have no music in the game? I tried to toy around with that game back when and I could have sworn there was in game music :x

Really enjoyed this. I gotta say, between this and the other guy rolling noob on red, the P99 community has been stepping up their vid game lately with some pro editing skills! Do you mind sharing what program(s) you used to record, edit, mark-up and put that together? I hope to have a lot of free time this winter and would love to take a stab at something like this...

Cool stuff!!

MMO's fell almost as quickly as they rose. As a result of things like over commercialization and RMT. As the old RPers were replaced by modern gamers. As high fantasy was replaced with max gimmickry. No one cares about character persona, only phat lewtZ.

The part about RP vs phat lewtz isn't really an argument, people may play however they wish. But I think there was a shift in need and this is what invited the monster of commercialization and RMT that IMHO robbed the MMO of it's luster.

Pretty cool video. I'd never heard of Meridian 59; EQ was my first MMO, although I've heard of UO and had friends who were into MUDs, DAOC, and AC. What were the differences between Meridian 59 and classic EverQuest, exactly?

I do graphic and video work for a living. I use Photoshop, After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro myself. I prefer PC over Mac. Final Cut Pro is a nice mac program you can use to edit video. I do my main edits with Sony Vegas and transfer those rendered files into After Effects to apply effects (if needed).

For audio I use Steinberg Nuendo (for audio edits and processing). You can technically edit the audio in most video software too but it's not as good.

A cheap digital recorder you can buy is a Zoom H1. I have 2 of those and 2 Rode mics.
