Hi!
Some might be interested, some might not, if you aren't interested at ALL in any kind of World of Warcraft association you probably don't want to read this thread, AT ALL.

Have you ever seen Tales of the Past? What was your opinion? |LARGE WALL OF TEXT INC|

"Tales of the Past is a World of Warcraft (http://www.wowpedia.org/World_of_Warcraft) storyline trilogy, based upon the realm of Dunemaul (EU) (http://www.wowpedia.org/Server:Dunemaul_Europe) using machinima (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima). Martin Falch (Maquan) is the director of the trilogy. Of all WoW Fan fiction, Tales of the Past has arguably the most complex storyline, and the greatest tie-in to lore (http://www.wowpedia.org/Lore). It is also the best and largest scale machinima movie ever created using recordings from World of Warcraft - with multiple large battle-scenes involving thousands of players participating. It is worth noting that - whilst Arthas (http://www.wowpedia.org/Arthas) and Northrend (http://www.wowpedia.org/Northrend) are all present in the trilogy - the movies were filmed before the release of Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowpedia.org/World_of_Warcraft:_Wrath_of_the_Lich_King).

The series was preceeded by a film named Eden Aurorae (http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=Guild:Eden_Aurorae_(Tarren_Mill_EU )&action=edit&redlink=1) Guild Movie, which was a self promotion movie for the guild Eden Aurorae. After getting some great feedback Maquan started working on the Tales of the Past trilogy. Maquans own words about the series:
The series originally started out as a guild promotion movie for my guild, Eden Aurorae. However, as it got popular, I decided to continue and make my second storyline movie, Tales of the Past, which was indeed a way more serious project than the original guild movie. The original idea of Tales of the Past was to make a movie with arranged events between the Horde and the Alliance - as you've seen, the same thing goes for Tales of the Past II. Tales of the Past II was my ambition to make what I did not make in Tales of the Past. Voiceacting, camera changes, action, a script, a plot - everything a movie should contain. This ambition turned out to result in quite a ride, spanning over 6 months of hard work, but also tons of fun with all the actors, voiceactors and supporters of the movie! In the end it fulfilled my ambition and I am satisfied with the result, even though I know I can improve in many areas! I have learned tons from this production and I know a lot more than I did when I began."This movie has the rating of 4.90/5.00 on Warcraft movies, and is the most viewed on the site, with Tales of the Past II getting close with 4.5/5.0.
It's very beatyfull and yet so good made, the quality is VERY good for being from "WoW" as the graphics aren't that great in themselves.
It is the WoW's "Lord of the Rings" except a whole different story.

I'd recommend ANYONE, even Warcraft/Blizzard haters to watch it, goosebumps, chills and that heartpounding feeling of the epic battles, rating this based on whetever you like WoW or not is completely out of the mind, as such a movie, made by someone who never thought it could become such a epic adventure, a homemade piece of the awesomeness not even GOD or any other man or woman could give us.
I have seen all three movies, first one wasn't bad, it did miss a script, a focused story and voice acting, but it wasn't bad, it was like reading a book, to then experience it in a fullfledged, action packed adventure, go and watch them, and see what you have missed.
