Hi.

I was reading a post in a Drakedog subforum about somebody explaining why specific players are more easily recognized, or by other words, famous, in World of Warcraft. I found this small text quite inspirational for writing my own small text as well. This text is going to be about just that; the famous players of World of Warcraft, and just why they are famous up to this date and why they did become so.

I'm writing this for those who are curious about who these players are, and how they did become more recognizable in the community and how their efforts were shown. I'm talking about moviemakers. But yeah, it might also be interesting to read for those who also know a great deal about these players as well - who knows.

Also, if there's anything you'd like to correct, or that you'd like to add – please send me a PM, or reply with a post!

Good luck reading!

Name: Pat
Class: Warrior
Race: Tauren
Movie date of time: Pre-TBC and TBC

Pat is a Tauren warrior which became famous through his release of three PvP movies.
Warrior's are an extremely dangerous class when used right. Pat was one of a few that knew how to handle the class well.

He wanted to show what the warrior class was capable off, with as much buffs as possible. Therefore, he made his guild, friends and other fellow players buff him. For so jumping into a crowd of enemy players, wrecking them, showing amazingly high critical hits and huge amounts of HK's (Honorable Kills) was earned. Insanely entertaining for those who like aggressive music and high crits.

Name: Maydie
Class: Warrior
Race: Human
Movie date of time: Pre-TBC

Maydie is a warrior that became famous for his PvP movie. We can also say that he is an equivalent of Pat, though he isn't fully buffed. He compensates that with good editing, good music and still getting high crits. Also, he was one of the first rank 14 players which released a PvP movie. Maydie was one of the Alliance's pride back in the days, and he is still remembered for that up to this day. If you are about to watch his movie – get ready for a kick.

Name: Vurtne
Class: Mage
Race: Undead
Movie date of time: Pre-TBC and TBC

Vurtne. The one and only.

Famous for his set of movies, which contains amazing footage and great editing.
If you're looking for entertainment of epic proportions, you've got to watch Vurtne's movies. The time and effort put into these movies are staggering, and every piece of footage in all his movies are completely mindblowing – showing the mage class pushed upon it's limits with engineering by it's side.
With his arsenal of trinkets, engineering-gadgets and weird items, Vurtne really uses the environment and everything around him to gain his advantage in PvP, which really shows in his movies.

His editing is really great. Being able to show all of the action going on, as well as throwing in a few effects just to top it with the little extra. The way his movies are put together and how his music is timed with all his clips is incredible. He's not the one editing most, putting flashes and zooms everywhere, but it's enough to leave you with goosebumps just by watching.

His movies are incredibly put together, as they all contain good music, humor, amazing footage and great editing.

What is special about Maydie: Not much alliances are making pvp movies. He was just overgearing, getting healed, and killing players under level 60 (I mentioned the overgear?)
His movie was crap, I always thinked so. He have some skills, but nothing more. Also his editing is everything but not good...

...From Hell... lol 6th grade thinking

[quote]

When did you watch hes movie ?
Maydie movies were one of the craziest crit movies back when it released,
even one of the best edited videos of that time ..
The special about this video is that it shows how alliance
pride was shown back then, a mix of hand of freedom, holy lights,
pvp trinket effect and the movement in alliance rank 14 gear itself
matched the editing and music ..
It was so-to-say art, one of the movies where you really could
feel the pride in achieving the alliance version of rank 14 as warrior
before naxx 60, the honor revamp and free gear to everyone..

Lacks a lot of killers imo

Laintime / Kishkumen / Unbreakable / Grim anyone ?

I also liked Badrasta (rank 14 mage with kickass UI and modelchanging) and Hycer (rank 14 destro) from Vanilla, I'm just wondering if theye're famous enough :0.

There was also a NE warrior immune to control and killing loads of ppl in Vanilla, but I can't remember the name. He was using an OP trinket but I can't remember what it was either (I remember it was gul'dan's skull, but that's not possible :o).

Please read the end of my post before you start complaining about unmentioned players.

Best crit movies? lol sylvictus done 4-5k soul fire if I'm not wrong too. Also his editing was teasing even back in that time. When I watched it for first time I just started using some lame program back than. And yes, that's what I said. It was the best alliance movie for it's time, but it's like calling "the best from the worst" still not good eh? And the music was good for that time, it rocked tbh.
But his movie was more like "See my gear, bitch? I can kill level 66 with 3k crit!" than player vs player movie.

[quote="SE-"][quote="Sylva-_-"]
But his movie was more like "See my gear, bitch?
quote]

Yes =)
He never claimed that the video was about skill,
just a following and more artistic way of what Pat did ..

** Maydie is doing as much dmg as a regular lvl 70 warrior,
being able to 2 hit a rank 13-14 aint really the same as loading up
a soul fire for 4-6 seconds hoping not to get interrupted by any
player

Can you just read the BBcode help and learn the tags please? Thanks...

p.s. Tired of stupid fights...

Not fighting -_-
Just trying to explain you the hype about Maydie

I say he is fat kid behind keyboard, you say he rule, different options, different people, different tastes. Dot. Same with vurtne editing: you guys like white-yellow-pink huge pixels done by big crop, I like darkstyle and smudged lines. Different options, different people, different tastes. Dot.
