Favorite Moment of EQ Drama

[Doil_Boil]

Let's hear some stories. Cringy, horrible, heartwarming, or weird. From P99 or your experiences on live.

I deleted my epic, everyone laughed at me. It was not righteous

[Derubael]

Skarry epic delete is actually pretty high on my list, such a fantastic and noteworthy signature to spread the word, with the subsequent Rogean confirmation with the front end screenshot in a forum post elevating it from "an oddity on the forums" to "hilarious mishap that will never be forgotten" - it was something that always stood out to me. Put this one below the third place ties on my list:

1. Everything Minyin OR the Jayand debacle (yes, I rate them the same for reasons I can't fully elaborate on. Suffice it to say that Jayand RnF thread was FAR from the end of this fucksplosion).

2. Clear argues with clear. An RnF thread. Highly recommend reading the OP. Just unbelievable for so many reasons. I'm not entirely sure this classifies as drama but it certainly ranks high for greatest RnF thread of all time.

3. Packets of death - Jeremy and the Mask. Plus many others that tie, this one just stood out as a classic that will always make me laugh. I can't even list all of the entries that should be here. I won't even try. I've always been against a lot of the drama on these servers, even as a player, but sometimes it's inevitable when passions run high, or RL sets us on edge, or any number of other factors. ~8-9 months ago it wasn't uncommon to find me making corrections or even blatantly butting heads on the forums, but that wears me down and isn't conducive to a good CSR environment. I try to do my best to discourage that now where possible, pushing the rest of the staff to adhere to the same idea - but that doesn't mean there aren't a stupid number of memorable and/or hilarious shenanigans with many more to come.

It also doesn't mean certain rowdy/misinformed/brickheaded individuals don't get the occasional public smack-down when it's really required. I don't really enjoy doing these but I know a lot of players get a kick out of it when it's some cheating tool or disrespectful ass on the receiving end of a "GM/Guide explanation post"

Systolic and StabbyJoe/platlord incident.

Fuck you Sanornik!!!!!!!!!! (http://www.brellrants.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2734)

P.S. I'm trying to get the GU Comics comic of the event. Still waiting on a reply from Woody, as it's no longer available online.

[indiscriminate_hater]

that one time tiggles was interviewing a GM (deru? sirken?) and something wailed in the background. he dubiously claimed it was a cat

[maestrom]

Can we get links to the relevant threads?

I feel left out :(

[Byrjun]

The Conquest drama immediately comes to mind. There was never much information released but they used "an exploit" to be the first guild to wake the sleeper. There was early controversy from them pulling a warder to a bridge so a warrior could reportedly build aggro without engaging the mob, but they did lose that fight to a cleric getting summoned and killed. It's unknown what the issue was with waking the sleeper, but the guild was disbanded, all members were suspended, and 2 were banned.

The sleeper model was broken and a giant human went around attacking things. Some people claimed that Conquest was punished because Sony was trying to pin blame on someone for the end game Velious event being broken.

It was probably the biggest news/drama event of classic EverQuest.

The Dethen Valiant saga from Zeb amused me - basically claims his little brother is the cause of his character's mayhem. Unfortunately over the years the multiple threads on him have vanished thanks to Yuku.

How about the whole TMO shared accounts/RMT debacle? That produced multiple 20+ page threads all jammed full of ignorant rumor-mongering, butthurt begging, and lots and lots of flames. In other words, it was quality forum entertainment.

Abacab waging war against the server staff by repeatedly training the ec tunnel. It got so bad that the GM guarded the tunnel as a huge spider! Oh Rinna Lightshadow.

The Cecilantas stuff was so fucking hilarious.

Who was the chick that pretended to have died because her guild leader was estalking her and wouldn't stop?

They made a post on their guilds front page back in the day all RIP and shit until the truth came out (presumably because the chick eventually logged back into EQ, lol).

That was some shit back in the day.

[t0lkien]

A little more on the Cecilliantis story, because I've been researching it (I missed this somehow the first time around, and I love these ingame "happenings").

Something Awful story (http://www.somethingawful.com/weekend-web/eq2-cybersex-absolute/1/)

Also, I unearthed a pic of the guy behind the character, which seems to have been verified here (http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/350/view/forums/thread/30199/Guy-gets-caught-having-cyber-sex-on-EQ2.html) (pic at the bottom).

hearing people whine about him training mobs all over dreadlands was legendary

[wycca]

One of the best bits of drama in a decade of EQ was on The Nameless - the drama with Fell, Goldlily, and LoS. Nameless Tavern was the best - although VCC was a close 2nd.

[Lord Traxor]

The Conquest drama immediately comes to mind. There was never much information released but they used "an exploit" to be the first guild to wake the sleeper. There was early controversy from them pulling a warder to a bridge so a warrior could reportedly build aggro without engaging the mob, but they did lose that fight to a cleric getting summoned and killed. It's unknown what the issue was with waking the sleeper, but the guild was disbanded, all members were suspended, and 2 were banned.

The sleeper model was broken and a giant human went around attacking things. Some people claimed that Conquest was punished because Sony was trying to pin blame on someone for the end game Velious event being broken.

It was probably the biggest news/drama event of classic EverQuest.

I was on during the CQ incident, mind you I was a lowbie in Eastern Wastes hunting the rygorr fort, but the news spread like wildfire.

One accusation was them placing clerics under a bridge so they wouldn't get aggro. According to players who were actually involved, the 4th warder wasn't killed, but the code was evidently buggy because it triggered the sleeper event anyway, instead of the pretty Kerafrym model, it was the basic Soandso human model from the tutorial. a GM showed up minutes after this and did a zone-wide DT, nearly all the accounts were suspended and a few important names (Itzlegend, etc) banned.

Incidentally, Conquest returned at the release of PoP and reclaimed the top-server slot, itzlegend even had his account un-banned by then too.

Long Live Lanys!

[t0lkien]

I never really understood the asshattery of SOE GMs on Live. The entire company pretty much was incredibly arrogant until WoW destroyed their player base. Banning people because their game was incomplete and bugged was just another example of this. I was at E3 in 2003 as a dev and a journalist, and the Blizzard guys were gracious and generous back then (showing an early build of WoW). SOE were impossible to access, and literally sneered at anyone who tried to get time with them.

Suddenly after WoW shipped they were all sweetness and light, and couldn't do enough for people, but everyone had already moved on.

My guild were all prepping for Vindi in Kael, medding, organising positions and strategy etc - the usual raid stuff - and guild chat was off limits to anyone but the leaders. Suddenly in the middle of all the stern, detailed instructions, one of the few women in our guild posted a passionate description of herself orgasming while her partner (a guild druid) came all over her breasts. They were both in my group at the time and had been suspiciously quiet.

Guild chat, healer chat, tank chat, CC chat all went dead quiet for 5 minutes. The raid essentially paused while everyone tried to process what had just happened. It was like the entire guild was looking sideways at each other and then at their feet. I think someone *cough*ed. The girl immediately logged, and the subject of her mistel soon after. We didn't see her online again for a week, when she was /anon. That was kind of the end of her guild involvement.

My friends and I were breathless once the shock had passed, and we realized what had actually happened. We'd never seen anything like it before.

mentally unstable guy who blew his brains out when he let a in-game "friend"/girlfriend use his account then the person stole everything off it once he/she got close enough for him to trust him/her, both parties played on Vallon zek, was in the news/on tv ect... all that jazz...crazy shit

[iruinedyourday]

When EQ was still young and my first character was a lvl 12 Necromancer, I played on Rallos Zek.

I found some random gypsy walking around Lavastorm mountains and after a tough fight, I looted a +7 cha torch. Was my first like stat loot ever.

Some dude PK'ed me a day later and took the torch.

I sat on my porch and was almost crying, maybe I did cry. I thought to myself, my god I'm 20 years old, what the fuck am I doing crying about a video game.

Got up went back inside and played more eq.

That drama was my favorite drama.

Bonus, charisma on a necromancer... wat?!

[Gwence]

Most of you probably are way too young to remember this but back when p99 was in its infancy the game had a global ooc

There was a guy that would come on periodically and tell these very long, very sexual stories centered around a Erudite who had gold teeth and wore red shoes, he included some paladin and cleric in his stories that were rl husband and wife.

I found the stories highly entertaining but many people disliked it and drama ensued quite regularly as these stories were a daily treat normally.


Also there was a pvp event one time that Divinty tried to put on in the arena which ended up being IB just mass killing them for like 2 hours so much so that they also took their tears to the global ooc, invaded our ventrilo etc. this is secondary to the other story though.

[Lagaidh]

Jeebus. I dunno how I missed the Clear thread. That was... fascinating in a psychoanalysis kinda vein...

That poor guy. I've never seen anyone do that with such adamant abandon before. I'd heard about it, but he had what... three, four alts that were OBVIOUSLY him.

I hope it was a troll at that point...

Man.
