i saw an interesting picture about mmo.
it's from a news - Funny MMOvie In The Works聽 from 聽http://www.wanderinggoblin.com/
How far would you goto make a 2-hour machinima? One New York-based programmer, AJ Loiacono has paid over 10,000 gold in World of Warcraft to keep other players off his "set", and $200 (real US dollars) a day to player "extras" for their time.
For the past few months, New York-based programmer A.J. Loiacono and his buddies have been logging onto the popular online sword-and-sorcery game "World of Warcraft" a little more often than usual.
But they're not visiting the mythical realm of Azeroth to goof around and fight the game's virtual dragons like the rest of the game's 9 million subscribers. They've got work to do, you see. They're making a movie.
Using a high-end Mac to record the action, Loiacono's buddies log on from their computers and control their game-character avatars to act out scenes from the team's original script, a sci-fi comedy thing about a guy who travels through time to save his people. The film, still in production, is set for an online-only release next spring.
Right about now people all over Azeroth are plotting and planning a raid. I wonder if he'll have 200 naked gnomes? That would really be funny in a sick, twisted sort of way. Anyway...
AJ signed on Nat Taylor, a friend and a director of commercials to help with MMOvie, which is going to be 2-hours long. Read the full article here.
