Fun with Bots

Like most every game, the World of Warcraft has it's fair share of people that try to cheat the system. Some use exploits, others use bots as seen in this video, but remember all that are caught get banned and Blizzard has recently banned thousands of accounts for stuff like what is seen in this video. A bot is essentially a script that runs alongside the World of Warcraft game telling your character to do certain instructions automatically, without you even needing to be at the computer. Things like attack, heal, loot, look for new monster. When two Horde fellas stumble on an Alliance bot, they decide to have some fun with it!

Return

This is one of the best, if not *the* best movie I have seen for the game in any catagory. I was saving this one for later, but it's being presented now by popular demand.

From Google Video:

"Return" is the tale of Voldigar of Stromgarde, a grizzled warrior finally returning to his beloved home and bride only to find his past in ruins.

Utilizing the World of Warcraft game engine and lore, film-makers Terran "Liadov" Gregory and Ezra "Voldigar" Ferguson take Machinima down the road of the classic cinematic fantasy epic. This short tale is hopefully only a herald of much more to come.

GUARDS

A great parody on the COPS tv show, GUARDS details a day in the life of a Guard in the World of Warcraft. Some nice editing and great role playing work done in this clip by "ibeckman671".

Explorers Guide to the Galaxy

If you need one video to show you all of the more secret areas of the World of Warcraft you can explore, this is the one. It's got near everything covered, including underneath Stratholm, Ironforge Airport, beyond the Greymane Wall, placeholders for the game, and tons more to a rocking soundtrack. The movie weighs in at over 25 minutes long so get the popcorn out and enjoy this long and awesome movie.

The Amazing Race

In the World of Warcraft, you can take flights on creatures to other cities to ease the time it takes to travel to and from. In this video we see a Tauren Shaman on a flight path being raced by a Hunter who is exploiting a bug in the game to achieve a very high rate of runspeed. The flight goes from the main city of Orgrimmar all the way south to the trade city of Gadgetzan; click play to watch it as I won't dare spoil the ending:

Touch the Bell in Booty Bay

Some places are hard to reach and require a bit of tricky footwork, jumping around, and exploration in the World of Warcraft. Check out this video showing how to reach the bell in Booty Bay (a town shared by both, the Horde and Alliance). Betcha didn't even know there *was* a bell in Booty Bay, did you?? Well, just watch and prepare to be amazed.

Getting on top of Orgrimmar

This is also how those pesky Alliance sneak "under" Orgrimmar and drive us Horde crazy with thier yells. Quite an interesting place to visit as you can see by watching this video, something changes when you take the normal route vs. this one to visit Orgrimmar in the World of Warcraft.
