After a little investigation, I came to the conclusion that Machinima (videos created with a video game) makes video games much more popular.
For example, I would never have found out about the game called World of Warcraft if I hadn't seen machinima of it.
And machinima can do the same to Istaria.
So what I am asking is, if you find something interesting to film, like an ROP or something weird like a totem made out of dragons, please film it if you can, and put it on youtube. Or if you already have interesting footage, put that on youtube.
Oh and if you have some footage which you would like to share, but can't edit it, give it to someone else (like me) who can edit it.
Here are links to programs I used for my trailer:
Wegame (filming program)
http://www.wegame.com/ is filming program
Windows movie maker (editing program)http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Mov...-10165075.html For windows XP
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/02...sta-windows-7/ For both Vista and Windows 7
Ofcourse you can use other more advanced programs like Fraps, Adobe Premiere or Soney Vegas, but these are easy to use,
free and definetly good enough for basic machinima
