German WoW YouTubers can create really entertaining videos. In “Aldor-RP 3” you will see the madness that roleplayers experience every day…
On YouTube, you occasionally find some videos that make you wonder why such a good work has received so little attention. Especially in the WoW machinima scene, there are several that completely “fly under the radar”, even though they are of really good quality.
I want to draw attention to one of them – because it is from a roleplayer and at the same time deals with many interesting RP issues.
What kind of video is this? The video “Aldor-RP 3 | Heart – Friend or Betrayer” once again deals with the events in the roleplay of World of Warcraft and tells the story of the orc Kerrex, who, together with his Horde colleagues, has just launched a successful attack on the Alliance.
He is generally regarded as a good roleplayer whom others look up to – but this also indirectly binds him to a certain code he must act by. Something that other players exploit and thus steer his story in a direction he never planned.
Wasn’t this originally intended as a comedy? The series “Aldor-RP” actually started as a parody and wanted to depict and poke fun at roleplaying on the German RP realm “Die Aldor”. While the first part was clearly humorous, the second part already showed that a clear storyline was to be pursued, which is quite serious.
Now it has become an interesting story that still has roleplaying as its core theme. Issues like power emotes, OOC disputes in the sense of “Your RP is worse than my RP” and all the gossip behind the players’ backs are incidents that occur frequently on RP realms (and probably especially on Aldor) and spoil the gaming fun. And I won’t even start on the Goldhain problem.
Cortyn says: Even though not much of the humor that was essential in the first videos remained, I really liked the video. The implementation is great and you can see in every scene how much work has gone into it. No wonder that it took several years to make this video. I’m happy to wait a few more for the rest of the series.
What do you think of the video? Do you know any cool WoW videos that are somehow too unknown?
