I was poking around YouTube and found this video. It's amusing and well done, but at the same time it seems they're ripping off Sohmer, DeSouza and BFE for their own benefit and without giving proper credit.
It's apparently a fan-made video sent in response to a contest and not something they made themselves, but I'm of the impression that BFE and all involved parties don't want to be associated with that kind of business.

It's from November 2007, so if it's been posted before I apologize, but I've read quite a few old topics before and used search and didn't find anything mentioning this video.

You probably never played WoW with the WWRD guild

If I didn't know better, I'd say it's official BFE-made stuff. This is mind-boggling indeed.

No, but that's kinda beside the point.
What individuals do on their own time while playing a game just for fun is quite different from what a company would officially allow another company to do with their concepts and trademarks. Individuals might use the service, but if that video makes it look like BlindFerretEntertainment supports account selling and buying (which I understand is against the rules in most online games), then that could possibly cause BFE legal trouble. Probably won't, but it could.

XD

Gimme a sec, I have to watch that again...

XD!

Well, if that was a BFE production, it's solid proof that not only was Richard never a girl, he'll never want to be one. And it really does look like a BFE production, unless its a really, really, really good ripoff. The only difference I can see is the lack of tats and, of course, the lack of anything actually saying its BFE. Then again, the video could be cropped.

So who wants to take bets on whom shows up to clear the mystery? 10 gold on Lar.

We'll put 10 on Ghis.

Regardless of whodunit, you have to admit it was pretty flippin' cool.

10 gold on no one...

And yes, I liked it aswell. From snowball to flamethrower. It can't get much better than that...
[spoiler](20 gold says that someone will post something that's even better than snowball to flamethrower).[/spoiler]

Oooh... Somebody's in Twouble...

We might not find out if BFE knew about this and approved it or not, but at least it amused the hell out of a few people.

~ waits for someone to make an avatar from that image of female Richard ~

And here it is:

Corsets are awesome.

I'd hit it.

Not a ripoff. It was a spot BFE did for a publicity stunt way back when and they're just not too proud of it. Basically, they're in denial.

omglolroflmaohaxxorboxxor

roflmfao honestly.... that has to be one of the best vids I've seen... XD

That's hilarious!

They can be proud of the animation, anyway. Really well done.

Hah! Pay up Rip!

I was expecting Lar.

I thought that no one would say anything about it... Guess I lost...

Pretty good video- wierd sound though.

*grumble* I'll wire it to y'all.

How on Earth will you wire gold? I don't think there are any money transfer services that work with gold or silver coins. You'll just have to hire a couple of gnomes to handle the transport.

I wouldn't trust Gnomail if I were you.

([i][If you don't know what I'm talking about, search "The Grind episode 1" (there's 2 parts) and "The Grind episode 2" (also 2 parts0 on Youtube/i]

hell I don't even remember half the stuff that happened in the guild >_>

THE ORIGINS OF TINY RICHARD ARE REVEALED!

Lol girl Richard is creepy XD

Hah, I dug it.

Day-um. Richard's hot as a girl, too. Win.

(S)He's still dead, you know...

Ya never know, maybe Hurricane likes to crack open a cold one?

(Yes I know that joke was in poor taste, no I don't care

Ewww.

You think that's bad, I have a friend in his early 50s who likes to say, "I put the penis in happiness" just randomly out of the blue.

That's actually pretty funny.
