Good read... http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-7-biggest-dick-moves-in-history-online-gaming/

So I had heard of Eve online but I never realized exactly what it was. Sounds pretty interesting, actually.

Interesting concept. Bad implementation.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let their be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

Great quote from that article.

I remember the EVE Online stuff, and the WoW plague is pretty funny.

Also, that quote is p. awesome.

Thanks for the link. Good read :)

My guild from live killed ragefire in front of this dude in a shitty guild that was camping it forever and he cried so hard it ended up on BBC online.

The Eve ones were pretty awesome. I really tried to like that game, but it just seemed like everyone was out ratting in botted ravens 24x7.

It always was pretty slick to find someone afk mining, and train all 7 of your missile launchers and a web on them, while the bot tries to crawl away.

Good read, enjoyed it.

Hah! I remember that! Awesome stuff..

One part which I thought was pretty funny was the virus thing in WOW. I loved the pictures of all of the skeleton bones. I could imagine how it must have looked. I had never heard of this and was seriously laughing at it. I loved the concept and execution of it all.. Yes, it was douchebaggery at its finest but I have to give credit to the folks who figured this out and spread it over the server (and even managed to keep it going after the attempts to stop the spread by the server admins..)

[baalzy]

Funny stuff...

Surprised that the gray goo attacks on second life didn't make it in.

I was in on the Funeral Raid from WoW. Prophecy for life.

E-Fame :)

In a way, I think it was a fitting thing to do. The guy who had passed away in real life was a player on a PVP server. What better a way for his final sendoff than with something that he and his friends spent countless hours doing and having fun in the process? A big PVP slaughter with his friends (granted, it was one-sided). I admit when I read it I thought that the attacking group was a bunch of douches but in retrospect, I think it's all fine..

re: Crashing WoW Funeral. I'm a pretty down to earth person and realize that it was a pretty lame thing to do. HOWEVER, why would you have the publicized funeral on a PvP server in a FFA PVP ZONE! I know the dude that died liked to spend a lot of time there and that's all well and good, but if you're gonna beg to be trolled on a PvP server, do it in one of the safe-zones. Or mobilize a huge friggin army to protect the damn thing.

Edit: Post above me has valid points as well. I'm sure the dude was looking down from gamer-heaven and nodding approvingly.

[Klendathu]

I thought it was fitting. But it would have been much cooler if the lack of preparation was only rumor. Killer reverse psychology, lure them into a trap and devour them with a full raid force. That would have been epic.

[Slave]

Another utter failure that completely fails at even mentioning the worst thing that's ever happened in MMO history, let along placing it in its completely undebatable spot at #1: the total destruction of the entire (immensely awesome) game of Star Wars Galaxies via NGE by Sony Online Entertainment. May they forever rot in hell.

[Doors]

WoW funeral crash event was awesome. I remember when it happened. Although I was on a PVP server anytime I played WoW sadly I wasn't on theirs during classic.

the page 8 link sends me to a summary of forum posts which stop after 10 posts. Is there supposed to be more to it? Is this the Fn Dick Tracy story?

As far as "dick moves in gaming" this does cover most of the big events.

But #1 can just be classified as the every little thing gamers do to each other for no other reason than a brief smirk or chuckle at someone else's hours spent down the tubes. The parts are greater than the whole almost :P.

When i played WAR, a destro player's wife died of surgery comp.

There was a big moment of silence held in eataine where both sides gathered.

Some guy logged on to his "nonamed" BW and melted the husband. The destro side was filled with rage posts on WARAliiance forums for a week.

I lawled at that point as well. A good read overall. Would like to find the thread in its entirety.

Not that I support scammers, but that guy coughed up 55K for an item he didn't even get a link for? This is the kind of guy that buys oceanfront property in Arizona. If I'm blowing 55K on one item, I need some proof.

This article gave me a very different view of Eve Online. Although I've never played, I considered it many times. I didn't know the economy there was so player driven.

This article gave me a very different view of Eve Online. Although I've never played, I considered it many times. I didn't know the economy there was so player driven.

It's pretty much entertaining for a few years, then the novelty wears off. (Ok I realize this is pretty much all you can ask of most games, but I'm putting this out there, having been a CEO and alliance leader for 3-4 years before quitting). EVE combat just isn't fun, even 0.0 wars and piracy. EVE economy isn't that fun. The lack of avatars starts to take its toll on your psyche.

The best thing about it is the player corporations in which you'll meet some of the most focused and dedicated comrades you may ever find in any game, because the community is generally superior to most any other game you'll find. And I believe that unconsentual pvp should be a major tenet to any mmo.

But in the end, it will disappoint you. The skill system is irl-time-based, not skill based. It's starting to show major weaknesses. Established players will have a gargantuan advantage over you that you might never overcome, even given loads of talent and aggressive play style. The combat is just plain boring and purely numbers-based with few options for mixing up roles. The politics are a vomitous mass of regurgitated diarrhea because the people in charge of various factions are usually mouthbreathers with a lot of time on their hands.

I would strongly counsel to wait for the next big thing.

[Krimsin]

Scamming banks and real-time insurmountable advantages?

Sounds just like real corporate life.

[jelatin]

Interesting read on one of the biggest game-world upsets in Eve's history. It really gives a feel for some of the player-driven dynamics of the world and how much the "anything goes" policy applies.

Kinda long, but worth it imo.

"He spent months running the "EVE Intergalactic Bank (EIB)." This offered loans for start-up EVE corporations and miners who wanted to buy tools, with interest rates and repayment plans and yes, we're still talking about a game people apparently play for fun."

cracks me up lol

I like EVE, I still play it and all but yeah sometimes I sit back and think... why am I doing this???

[Rogean]

So, when he ran this bank thing, what exactly drove players to actually pay him back instead of going HAHA SCREW YOU after getting the money?

[azeth]

^ this. to even expound on that thought Rogean, i'm wholey curious as to what game mechanics keep this corporation system in place. Seems like the whole scheme is very much glued together by the time/effort spent by a select few people outside the actual game.

You are mistaking EVE Online for a game made in 1999. There are very robust and creative mechanics and features in place to support a host of things you may be unfamiliar with, from player-made political entities including nation-states complete with infrastructure to massive ship construction taking months in time requiring the resources of GROUPS of ALLIANCES. For instance, there are perhaps barely just enough players on P99 to construct a Titan-class capital ship... within a year.

to your point, im reading now about "Sovereignity".

[Slave]

to your point, im reading now about "Sovereignity".

It's a highly complex and fun mechanic. The longer you have the most starbases parked out at moons, you can claim more and more rights and advanced features within a system, like creating wormholes for your forces to attain maximum mobility, or better defenses and services for your space station. (which is not the same as a starbase which I am using synonymously with POS or Player Owned Structure)

[Snapple]

So, when he ran this bank thing, what exactly drove players to actually pay him back instead of going HAHA SCREW YOU after getting the money?

Because in EvE if you screw someone over they can blow up your ship and put a bounty on your head that will have you getting killed all the time and loose months and months and sometimes even years of hard work in ISK.

Seems like Rogean is already planning the next big EVE scam.

Partially true, mostly not.

I remember the EVE Online stuff, and the WoW plague is pretty funny.

Also, that quote is p. awesome.

Hunters would recall their pet while it had the plague. They would then go by the auction house and bring their pet out and it would spread the love.
