    wow, awesome responses so far.  Thanks again, nerds!  

    The people who see it love it, but I'm struggling with how to get more people to actually see it!   Feel free to share w/ fellow gamers to help spread the word.   I feel like if I can get each episode up to about 10,000 hits or more, I can make a much stronger case for making this a full series.   

    Either way, thanks again for taking the time to check it out.   I'm glad everybody digs it like I thought they would.   I tried to mix Ultima, WoW, LOTRO, and Everquest all together!

    I have spread the word to people I know who play MMORPG. I'm not sure it's for everyone. However, I did find it funny and intelligent. :-)

    I would love to see a couple sites like MMORPG.com or Massively.Com pick up an article about it on the front page.

    I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

    I really liked how she said that her kids have been crying for an hour and a half =p

    Of course irl I would hate the person, but the fact the cartoon is making fun of it makes me enjoy it =p

  • SovrathSovrath Member LegendaryPosts: 32,952

    Yeah, I enjoyed it.

    I wouldn't say I found it laugh out loud funny but a few bits were really good. The person who wrote it certainly seems to know the genre as well as the people who play it.

    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Well it's amazing and i am looking forward for more! To be honest i once joined a group in lotro which actually had one Minstrel and 4 guardians. It was a hard instanced quest in the great barrows, "An ancient story of evil" it was called if i am not mistaken.

    Anyway keep up the good work man, we need people like You.

    I was thinking that 4 tanks and a healer is a viable and effective group.  One of the upsides is that you don't have the squishies in the group, everyone has High AC and HIT POINTS.  So the healer won't be wasting mana saving the wizard-types who get agro and take damage alot.

    I was in an inneffective group, and that was 4 enchanters.  Everyone was expecting the other person to do the job required by only one enchanter and no one was bothering to mez.  DPS was next to zero, and it was a travesty.  One of the worst groups I was in.

    A good way for a group to fail is trying to do stuff that is too powerful for them.  Not having a healer also is a group waiting to fail.  4 tanks and a mage.  that isn't a good group.  As soon as the monsters can muster some effective damage, its TPW - Total Party Wipe.

    That's kinda what I dislike about a lot of MMO's today. If you don't have a healer, you can't run a lot of content. Want to do some pvp? Nope, they other team has a healer and we do not. They will out last us so it is useless. Want to go grind some? Nope, not unless you want to sit and heal after every pull.

    /hate healer dependency in my games. =/ (Don't take the healer out of the series though! Just my 2 cents on the MMO market =p)

    Guys!   It's been a while and FOUR TANKS AND A HEALER needs help getting a full season!

    Episodes 1 and 2 hit the net last year (as you know) and we've got some really awesome feedback.

     

    Now I have a few weeks to wrangle a list of potential investors in order to do a full season!   We've got TheOneRing.net (biggest Tolkien site there is) as our launchpad.   We've got Mark Ordesky (Lord of the Rings producer) onboard as my "Yoda" and exec producer, we've got a full-season arc planned and plans for DVD distribution.    We are a "GO"!  

    Now, all that's left is funding this monster so that we can make it happen.    Figured I'd check the MMORPG forums since you guys are the core of the core audience-wise.    If you have any ideas, send them to me (larry) at lawsonmoonrunner at gmail.com!    

     

    Thanks a ton, guys.   I really wanna make this MMO cartoon huge.   The story possibilities are endless!

    I thought the toon was great, Nicklesack still makes me laugh.

    Kickstarter.com seem viable? Tho' I think it's cool having the backers you have already.

    I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • lawsonmoonlawsonmoon Member Posts: 26

    yeah, we've talked about using Kickstarter or Indiegogo but the fear is that it sort of makes a project seem less legit... and it runs the risk of us coming up short and ultimately loosing 3 months of time we could have spent making our show.   It's a tough call since the project already has a bit of "swag' going for it.

    So i love the whole reference to SWTOR put in there with the title, my friend who plays says he can't seem to get people in that game in his guild to stop making tanks and healers. LOL 

    Then a few minutes into the game i see they combined elements of the LOTRO and WoW maps they even have that swirly thing in the middle of the map in the Sea LOL

    Awesome stuff cant wait to see more.

  • lawsonmoonlawsonmoon Member Posts: 26

    Thanks.   Can't wait to MAKE more but we've gotta get the funding first.   I sent out tons of emails, bulletins, etc regarding it so hopefully we'll get some bites this week.    I know how popular the series could be with the gamer gen so it's not like I'm gonna give up on it.
