We have found the issue which prevented HQ Streams to be generated for movies submitted to AoCMovies.com. Throughout the day, Streams will be generated for almost every movie on the website and everyone will be able to use them!
We apologize for the delay on this fix.
Regards.
Together with Russian partner 1C, Funcom will be present with a dedicated Age of Conan area where gamers can battle monsters and tackle challenging quests across many locations throughout the game. The new Russian language client will be playable.
Funcom product manager Erling Ellingsen will also drop by to answer questions, talk to gamers and meet the press at the show.

There have been a few domains registered with a similar name to our real domain "warcraftmovies.com" that are used for spreading harmful content.
Our site should only be accessed via warcraftmovies.com and no other domain.
Keep your anti-virus software updated to avoid these kind of problems.
Due to popular demands we have implemented "leet speak" to our homepage. We pulled some strings and recruited one of our top PvP Author to translate our site! Why do we go through all this trouble? This written argot will prevent our parents and others that do not play the game from understanding what we are doing here, before the summer no one outside this community will ever know we excised!
We thank you for your patience while implementing the "leet speak" on our servers, this is just the BETA phase and when everything is working leet will be default language. In the final stage of this renewal titles and voice over on movies will be manually changed to fit the new standard. Below are a few examples on how the system has improved our Authors summary:
I'm So Sick
Tales of the past III
Eviscerate 7 - World PvP, Daggers
Nihilum EU-BG3 Grand Final
For now you will have to click the new official flag in the top right corner to get the desired effect.
Hope you are as excited about this as we are, reply to this thread if you want to help us translate all the movies and we will get in contact with you.
