It's pretty fucking crass, but it has a certain flair to it. Killing the wake was hilarious, though.

Those guys were just asking for trouble... I always wondered if that whole thing was staged, like Leeroy Jenkins. :hmm:

Man Sony throwing a tantrum because their players were going to kill their beloved invincible boss?

For a company made famous for their hatred of their own players in EQ that really is incredible even for them.  Should have been #1 since it was a dick move by a MMORPG company for no other reason than pettyness.

As for the WoW funeral that was pretty sick but having a Alliance-Horde combined funeral on a PVP server was just asking for the sick  fucks to come out.  How do you even have an Alliance-Horde event in game anyway?  I guess the two organizers were on Skype or something.

They forgot GoonSquad screwing BoB in the ass and dissolving the whole Alliance, and SOE pulling the NGE that killed Star Wars: Galaxies.

And rightly so.  There was nothing memorable about SWG.

As for GoonSquad screwing BoB and whatever...huh?

MMORPGs are great so long as you do not let the game distract you from the important business of getting to experience the worst humanity has to offer.

EvE event. IIRC GoonSquad got hold of passwords & disbanded the BoB alliance.

If this event is so hilarious and so great that they should not be forgotten surely it is more interesting than hacking a few accounts.  That happens about 2 million times a day on WoW.

Was it at a particularly hilarious time or something?

EvE is different from WoW.

WoW guild being disbanded only affects those players. A EvE Alliance disbanding resets the balance of power.

Heh, I remember that. The players came back and killed it again.

Good for them.  I hope they sent Sony screenshots.

Ok reading that made me nostalgic for the old team PVP servers on EQ.  They were so poorly designed you could really fuck people over...and people did get fucked over...over and over and over and over again and the ruthlessness and whinyness got pretty ridiculous.

This article affirms my decisiion to stay away not just from MMorpgs but online games with random strangers in general. I hated 16 year old boys when i was 16, and hate them more now that I'm not.

The only time I ventured into online gaming was very early on with Diablo. And that was a nightmare. And I gave it up for good.

Mind, my experience wasn't much different shortly after I joined Languish and played a game of Diplomacy with some of you guys (Can't remember now who was in it) and I was the first person gang-banged out of the game. ;)

But, and I'm ranting now, I now, this also affirms one of my other things. When computers were invented, or at least computer gaming, in the mid to late 80s I was totally excited because the novel thing was I could play games without involving other human people. Why you'd want to now play against other humans, when you clearly don't need to anymore, is beyond me.

:wacko:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
