So if there was a MassiveCraft movie what would it be called and what would the main story arc be? Which worlds would be included?

Obviously there would be more than one... but what would the first movie be and would we have to do the whole Star Wars 'start with Ep 4' business? Would it flash back to Old Ceardia or would that be a prequel? Food for thought huh?
 
Depends on a lot of things, first and foremost: is it a movie based on MassiveCraft Lore or on MassiveCraft Game?

If Lore, the first movie should be the Chrysant War between Regalia and the Essa Empire, called "Chrysant War". This should be followed by the sequel: "Fall of Ceardia/Rise of the Banshee", following the destruction of Old Ceardia by the Void Creatures lead by the Dark Banshee. The Trilogy would then be concluded with the war between the Regalian Empire and the Qadiriyye Sultanate, "Sands of War". Naturally it would follow heroes from each story, or villains in the case of the Dark Banshee. A Prequel Trilogy, called "Ages Past" would be as follows: "Ages Past: Sereph Rising", "Ages Past: First Void Invasion", and "Ages Past: Elven Might" following events there respectively.

If Game, it would probably be better off as a TV series, each episode showing a different chapter. There would be chapters on the old empires, like Pristina, the Pinkcraftian Empire, Algaron, Argonia, Ser-whateveritwascalled, Magnanimous, Hisoka, and the like. Each episode would follow as either a documentary (think History Channel shows about long-lost civilizations) or a show following the main persons involved in each respective empire/nation/event/age that occurred.
 
I'd say Lore based @Mecharic - nice ideas on the 'episodes'

Now we consider that the initial three themselves should be split into two or three again. This is because the central protagonists would become characters with whom we want people to identify and follow through the suite of movies (think Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Hobbit/LOTR, Star Wars). If the movies are set too far apart in time we struggle to tie the films together with central characters.

Who would these central characters be?

I think a good movie could be made about the Andrieu Anahera thing. From the moment he's elected to the very end. With all the gritty details. His threatening/discussion with Thomas Kade, Thomas' conspiring to claim Anglia, Tristan's plight after he slaughters all the innocents in the temple and of course, the cheesy fake-smile romance between Andrieu and Charlotte. Could make a wonderful movie.

Andrieu's bio documentary that shines light like he was a good guy
 
What if it was a movie series following Regalia? Lots of good stuff! Could start with 1.0, then 2.0, the Qadir war, sewer purges, all kinds of stuff! Although I think it should have to be a TV series to simply be able to be about more over more time.
Holy crud wait!
Someone could actually make this.
It could just be an amateur YouTube level movie, but still!
 
Coming soon to theaters:

Massivecarft

Narrated by Morgan Freeman.
 
Nah m8s if there was going to be a movie about massive it would have to include our peaceful Qaliphate with our benevolent, heroic Qaliph.
 
I feel like it'd be a show. And seasons would like, be based off of different types of RP that go on. Wars, time periods. Gang/sewer stuff. Noble stuff. All that jazz. Like what @Mecharic said, but seasons based on different parts of the lore and RP world.
 
Honestly I would gladly just watch an entire parody series about my char, Ryu Nanso. Not even just because I made the char, but because he's such a sassy Tigran-mortal that get's into the weirdest situations. Would not be surprised if by the end of the show he ended up bitch-smacking Estale and Beasheal in the same episode, just because they stole his vodka or something stupid.

Because that really does sound like what Ryu would do. Bitch-slap the Creator of the Universe and her Arch-nemesis because they stole his alcohol.
 
I feel like there is incorporation for all these ideas. Honestly I think it would be better as a game of thrones style TV show. Really it would need to follow several characters all set in regalia but all different races. Incorporating flash backs and written history would be good too. Say (for example) we follow the story of a young Ailor, fresh arrived in the city of Regalia. He was brought up to see Ailors as the peak of the civilised world. But disaster strikes, due to a terrible offence of treason he is framed for the Ailor must leave the glowing Noble mansions for the gutters of Regalia. Here he meets a cast of colourful characters. Say an old elf who's seen every war in the past 150 years, an Ur who lost his family, a Mage on the run, a dwarf and a Dakkar with an axe to grind. This Ailor must figure out who framed him by travelling the empire, solving problems, making good friends and back stabbing enemies. He must delve from the gleaming towers of the old elf empire to the dark sewers of Regalia, all the time being chased by the Lord Crimson, a guard tasked with tracking down treacherous scum like him. There is love, teason, adventure, moments that make your heart stop and moments that leave you in grief. In the end the Ailor finds out that this conspiracy may shape the history of the Empire as we know it forever.
 
All I know is Phon has to be played by Jackie Chan or Donnie Yen. Leave the scene early, and come back when something big goes down.
 
Hmmmm I would love to see a massivemovie. If I was directing a movie series based off of lore and community I would lay it like this:
(Possible prequels):
1: Path to Freedom: Depicts the old Elven empire and its slaves the ailors, and as they later break free to gain their independence
2: Hateful Blood: Shows the constant battles between ailors and elves.
3: Burning World: Shows the Void Invasion a century after 'Path to Freedom' and the formation of Regalia

(Major Story):
1: The Holy War: Depicts the Chrysant war and an introduction to the world of aloria and its history
2: Fall of Ceradia: Shows how Regalia has grown and as the continent of Ceradia falls into ruin by the hands of Beheasel
3: Sands of Fire: The great battles between Regalia and the Qadir, and the Elven Insurrectionists
4: Traitor to the Empire: Shows how Andreiu Anahara betrayed the empire and his death
5: Holy Blood: Shows The second holy war between Arloria and Regalia, and maybe ends off the series

(Expanded Universe):
1: Drowda's War: Depicts the war between the Drowdar and Beheasels forces.
2: Chains of the Empire: Shows the Thylains past of slavery and torture
3: Iron Halls: The skirmishes between the Dwarves and Dakkar

(I would believe we would have important names in the movies like emperors and nobles and such)

But to cover the actual community better I would picture it more as a tv show, following some names that are well known or have high positions important to the show like guards, but with lore and history I see it as a movie series
 
Yeah I've been thinking of ideas for a Massive TV show. Here is what I came up with. (btw the main characters name is run through the randomizers)

1: Welcome To The Regal City: Royle Mallory is a young man new arrived in Regalia to seek his fortune. Royle is shown the ropes of the city by one of the Vigilant Shields. After finding a job and making friends with a few Ailors who all welcome him into the community. During the episode Royle gets lodgings at the Tavern and there meets a high ranking noble who seems nice enough. After a being introduced to a few of the cities favorite past times Royle is woken in the middle of the night by the Crimsons, being told he is convicted of the crime of murdering the Shield who had shown him around the city.

(I could use some help with these if people could nominate in game chars to appear in these that would be awesome)
