    Hey Anthony, don't know if you reply to the comments anymore, but I am very curious how life is going for you. The IRL videos have immense nostalgia for me as it were THESE VIDEOS that got me into WoW (First saw these videos 7-8 years ago). I never was anything more than a casual player, but the IRL videos made me fall in love with the game and especially Blood elf paladins(90% of all characters I made in wow are blood elfs lol). Each time I see your videos I get the nostalgic itch to go back and level a blood elf paladin through the starter zone.
    Thank you for these videos :D

      Hey! Thanks for your comment. I'm glad to hear how much nostalgia has come from watching my films. I do get nostalgic too when watching them. It was a very different time of my life. The first one came out about 11 years ago now, so a lot has changed.
      I'm doing pretty good, I do still play WoW (on my belf protpala) although much more casually now. I am also still figuring out my path in life you could say, but that is just an endless adventure.
      I have been toying with making a 3rd film to go over the last decade since I released the first film, but I am a bit torn on whether I should. If I make it, who knows but it won't be like the first two.
      Thanks again for your comment.

    I've never played a second of WoW in my life and I don't really plan to but just as a gamer in general this video is quite touching to me.

      +Olcay It's nowhere near as addictive as it used to.

  • @AveTarnkappe

    Fantastic work as always. Your first film allowed me to kick the habit after a long battle between my addiction and my real life. I too have come to find balance and moderation between my gaming (no longer World of Warcraft: my server is dead and that game sadly holds nothing for me these days) and my real life. I look back fondly on my times from the game and I still consider many from it friends. I regret that I lost control of my life, but I feel the lesson learned in regaining it is greater.

    This was incredible and I can relate to it on absolutely every level. It's almost part for part my Warcraft story. Thank you for making and sharing this, it means a lot!!

    @xtrordinari9798 11 лет назад

    I found so many parallels in this film to my own life, and it's touched me as I'm sure it's touched the other players who've watched this. A lot of people don't realize, how much WoW can effect a person, and how much you can gain from it. Building a guild, raiding with people from all over the world that become such good friends. Thank you for making this, and I wish you all the best.

    @quietone748 4 года назад +1

    Rewatching this 7 years later. Thanks again for the message. I currently game as well, but have found that it's OK to turn off the game and go out IRL and do things that create memories that are tangible. Plus, my feet don't hurt anymore when I stand. :) Thank you again for this strong message.

  • @a3leggedpuppy
    @a3leggedpuppy 11 лет назад

    This film really described my situation more than the last one and I really feel like you were spot on with how the game has turned casual in a good way.

  • @antronoid
    @antronoid  11 лет назад +1

    Thanks, and yeah, actually the MoP music somewhat inspired me to make this film, it is so cinematic and powerful it needed to be shown to more people!

    @MissHercuLiz 10 лет назад +17

    I love this video. I can watch it time and again and still get emotional as I did the first time around. I started my WoW account in 2005 also, and have stopped now and then, but tend to come back to it with each expansion released. Your video has helped me control the need for WoW, and at the same time not feel guilty for wanting to play it and finding that balance. Cheers Anthony.

    This continuation from your original video is pretty awesome. I think many many people have lived experiences in line with yours and identify with your experience. I know I do. And I have come to realize just what you are saying in this video. Keep it up man, and thanks for sharing your story.

    I would like to thank you for opening up my eyes. I'm in a similar situation, I just started the University to become a game programmer and I've been playing World Of Warcraft since the release. Your film has made me realize that World of Warcraft is nothing that can stand in the way of achieving my goal in life. It's time to focus up on what really matters, and that is what I've always wanted to be, a game developer.
    Thank you so much, sincere regards, Tony.

  • @mhugueninvirchaux
    @mhugueninvirchaux 10 лет назад +9

    Hey Anthony, rewatching this movie. I took a break from WoW this march so I can 100% focus on university exams; was worth it. I passed ;-)
    For me, you have also been motivation. I told myself if this guy can focus on the important stuff then I can do it too!
    Currently taking a break again so I get hyped enough for the new addon, will you be playing it aswell or did you stop WoW altogether in the meantime?
    I really like playing a couple of months and then taking a break; I don't have the mindset that I have to complete everything in the game anymore..that's a good sign ;-)
    Have a nice day and good luck.

  • @ouououou12
    @ouououou12 11 лет назад

    Absolutely amazing production value anthony, I'm really proud and happy for you. Music was well positioned, game footage was smooth and transitioned well, and the grand vision you had for the video theme and flow overall was spectacularly pulled off.
    Obviously as a guy close to your age this hits home as WOW did affect my academics, but like you, it took some time and I have overcome and look forward to the future more than ever, so I really appreciate your message. Big Kudos from me, sir.

    Great video, I can relate to it, I was addicted to games when I was in middle school, I lost many friends and shunned many people I cared about and played games 24/7, I miss them so much right now.
    With some effort I overcame my addiction, It's a wonderful feeling to have your life back, I still play games like 5 hours a week tho.
    Addiction is horrible, doesn't matter if it's about drugs or a video game, life is short.

  • @warlocksarewatching

    Just the original menu music resonates with me as serenading not the best period of my life, but certainly a fun one. Excellent work on this! I found it more developed, colorful, and focused than the first film.

    Thanks you for this awesome video and greetings from an old 7years+ player
    I have lot of respect for what you did with your choices, and for the work you're sharing with us now.
    Leaving a game you spent so much time on it is isanly hard, as you explain well, it becomes a part of you, and the character become likes you, or a member of your family, and the people you have fun with in game too; but most important, you got what you want for your life, that's great.
    GL&HF for everything man.

  • @ElimRawne
    @ElimRawne 11 лет назад +1

    Had all that, in WoW, for many years. At the end I had to burn all bridges to get out. It was painfull. I was heavily involved in the guild, raidleader etc, but the GM became resentfull when I tried to ease the huge workload, pressured me into 'duties'.
    I burned out badly.
    Now, I'm very wary of all mmo's, especially anything involving guilds.
    I never want that kind of stress and sorrow again. If I play, it's mostly singleplayer, coop with friends/family sometimes, but never so guildbased again.

    @leothedel 11 лет назад

    It's amazing how WoW touches peoples' lives. I too have played for over 6 years and share many of what's afflicted you over this journey. Over this time, I got married and my wife started playing with me as well, and sometimes we wonder if we spend too much time online.
    Truth is, as long as you have balance in your life, you're spending time with friends, working/studying, and you feel like WoW is just another aspect of it (and not its center) you're probably good.
    It seems you've done that :)

    As a gamer, musician and film maker (I put my emphasis on film music, although I'm a trained film editor) I enjoyed your videos. I luckily never had the problem of a WoW addiction (I have way to many hobbies I enjoy for that ^^) but I can imagine that this world can be quite captivating. Keep it up, I hope I will see more of your work in the future.

  • @mauricehuguenin

    hey anthony, especially during the second part of the movie I was moved to tears...so many similarities to my own personal story.
    10:33 I am so jealous that you could see the 100m race at the London Olympics last year...I visited my brother in London two weeks after the event. Those things are worth fighting for.

  • @NintendoGam3r
    @NintendoGam3r 10 лет назад

    Excellent video. I too had a massive addiction to WoW, and lost many RL friends due to it. In the end though, I reconnected with those friends; and even now, not once do I regret my decision playing WoW. I had an immense amount of fun playing it, and it helped me get by some hard times in my life, because it made time go by really quickly, which is what I needed.
    But WoW helped me in a lot of ways ironically. It made me a more social person, it made me comfortable leading a team of people as a raid leader and GM, and it helped me refine leadership and social skills I use today.
    Thank you for making this wonderful video. I'm glad you got through it and wish you all the best.

    I also like football and reading books, but I can't let them take my life.
    Life is all about balance, live your life, meet some friends, and play some games or read some books, the tricky part is how you handle it and how much time you spend on each hobby/activity.

    This game just isn't worth being addicted to anymore. R.I.P. Vanilla and Burning Crusade :(

    • @WolfPirateSkull
      @WolfPirateSkull 10 лет назад +5

      you over praise vanilla you just don't know how bad it was like waiting for the next day to get your honor, only a certain amount of dots on raidbosses or else they would be replaced with something worse, not being able to queue to bgs and doungons where ever you wanted or the shorter story everything was draged out like hell

    • @lukeskywalker8205
      @lukeskywalker8205 10 лет назад +2

      I do know how bad some stuff was. That doesn't change the fact that I would much rather play Vanilla or BC to this current crap. I never had to worry about being addicted to WoW because from WOTLK and onward the game died slowly, and we can thank Activision for that.

    • @WolfPirateSkull
      @WolfPirateSkull 10 лет назад +2

      then play on a private server, GL not that piece of gold that you think it is

    • @lukeskywalker8205
      @lukeskywalker8205 10 лет назад +1

      You mean those servers that have hundreds of bugs and glitches? No thanks, i'd rather Blizzard come out with a copy of WoW that's an older version. That would be a different icon on your desktop apart from the live version. These servers would be dedicated to vanilla or BC. They would benefit with all the money they'd make off them with subscriptions.

    • @WolfPirateSkull
      @WolfPirateSkull 10 лет назад +3

      Vanilla wasn't good, it was filled with imbalance, even more then there is now. Bugs, grinding wich is worse then MoP's, and it was VERY time consuming. and you think that is better? i cant win with you, cya around

  • @JReed1985
    @JReed1985 6 лет назад

    I'm the same as Anthony, I like video games too, but I like to play them in moderation. I was at a point in my life where I was addicted and too distracted by video games, I would neglect other interests and goals I was determined to reach.
    I used to play WOW, but I quit after three years when I realized how much I missed out on the other things I enjoyed doing in life. Maybe I'll get back on WOW someday, but maybe not so soon.

I would play it all the time, but I use a debit card just for it and when I want to stop I just don't put money on it anymore so I can't afford the subscription for it. I go back to it every now and then, binge for a month but after that, I'm done for another 6 months. Thanks for sharing mate

    I can totally relate to this, unfortunately I was a little worse off since my addiction actually had health consequences. I'm okay now, and I even went back to playing for a little while after I healed, but eventually I moved on. I'm not really much into MMOs anymore, but I can definitely understand the appeal since I experienced it.
