Best Video Competition

    • New

    Hello, players!
    We used to have a contest for the best video on any topic. First place was awarded 25,000 diamonds and golden wings. If I'm not mistaken, second place was 15,000 diamonds, and third place was 10,000.


    I invite everyone to vote. I'm sure you're very creative players ^^


    Just imagine if one of these prizes were yours. You'd be able to afford something you always wanted but couldn't. Imagine owning golden wings. What would you do with them? Sell them at auction and boost your character's stats, or wear them yourself and outshine everyone else? :love:

    Hello,


    The idea of a video contest can be nice for the community. It can encourage players to create content, promote the game, and share creative videos.


    However, I have a serious concern about this.


    In the past, when we uploaded videos related to the game on YouTube, copyright claims were sent by the previous publisher / former copyright holder, and two of my YouTube accounts were banned / closed because of this.


    Because of that experience, video contests feel risky to me.


    Players may join such a contest with good intentions, spend time creating videos, and then later face copyright problems on YouTube. For players who already experienced this kind of issue, this is a very important concern.


    If a video contest is planned again, I think some things should be clarified first:


    Is there official permission for players to upload videos?


    Can it be guaranteed that players will not receive copyright claims on YouTube?


    Which game footage, music, and sounds are allowed to be used?


    Could videos be uploaded through a safer PlayerNet / Chronicles of Arcadia platform instead of personal YouTube channels?


    If a player’s YouTube channel is affected by copyright claims, will there be any support?


    Without clear answers to these points, I personally cannot support this idea comfortably.


    The rewards may be very nice, but if there is a risk of losing a YouTube account or channel, that risk can be much bigger than the reward.


    Thank you.

    One thing I can say for sure is that you can only use music on YouTube without copyright infringement from YouTube's own library. There really is a great selection of music there for every taste.

    Hello,


    Yes, I agree that using music from YouTube's own audio library is the safest option for background music.


    However, my concern is not only about music.


    In the past, the problem was related to game videos uploaded to YouTube and external copyright claims connected to the game content itself. Because of that, two of my YouTube accounts were banned / closed.


    So even if we use safe music from YouTube's library, I would still like to know if uploading game footage for such a contest is officially safe for players.


    That is why I think clear rules and official permission would be important before starting a video contest.


    Thank you.

    Besides YouTube, there are other video platforms. You can upload videos to Vimeo. I even asked the AI about it, just in case. He said there wouldn't be any copyright issues or blocking by the game developers. So you could try uploading to Vimeo :saint:

    Hello,


    Thank you for the suggestion.


    I understand that Vimeo can be used as an alternative video platform, but my concern is not only about YouTube.


    In the past, I also uploaded game-related videos to other platforms, including Vimeo and another local video platform. Those videos also received copyright claims from the former rights holder / previous publisher.


    So, from my personal experience, changing the video platform does not fully solve the problem.


    Also, asking AI about this is not enough for me, because copyright safety should come from official permission or clear rules, not from an assumption.


    My concern is not only about background music. It is also about game footage, game audio, and external copyright claims related to the game content itself.


    That is why I think a video contest would need clear official rules first:


    Is uploading game footage allowed for this contest?


    Which game audio, music, and visuals are safe to use?


    Can players be protected from external copyright claims?


    Is there an official safe upload method for contest entries?


    Without clear answers to these points, I personally still see this as risky.


    The idea of a video contest is nice, but for players who previously lost video accounts because of copyright claims, this risk is very important.


    Thank you.

    Regarding music, we've already established that you can use music from the YouTube library. Alternatively, you can check a song for copyright here: https://tubepilot.ai/tools/copyright-music-checker/

    Then there shouldn't be any problems with the music.
    Regarding copyright infringements on videos, it would be really good if the developers also intervened in our dialogue.
