When I was a kid (before EQ came out), my friends and I would play this small Korean MMO called "Nexus: Kingdom of the Winds".
It's still live I believe:
https://www.nexustk.com/index.html
It's like an asian themed Runescape.
Anyway, my IRL friend is sitting there messing around trying to guess people's passwords (your character's name was your username to login).
He ends up guessing 'ssap'. Or 'pass' backwards and gets in someone's account.
We try it on another character - we get in theirs as well.
We find out it's actually some sort of universal password for all accounts.
So we use it to log into the GM's character. The GMs on Nexus are just like they are on EQ. There's only a handful, they have special abilities, and whenever they appear in game they draw a massive crowd of people.
Now this game had a corpse run feature much like EQ does. Only worse. If you left your corpse sitting there for awhile, other players were free to loot all your stuff.
So we log into the lead GM's account - we try and hide ourselves, and we discover that the GM has the ability to summon in any item or mob in the game. So we're summoning in the most rare items in the game, hiding them in bushes and then logging into our mains and picking them up. After we gave ourselves pretty much everything, we go to the most populated area and we proceed to summon in these quest mobs which are unkillable and one-hit anything it attacks.
There's chaos and dead bodies everywhere. It was amazing.
We ended up getting caught because our extremely rare gear gave us away. It would be like seeing a level 1 warrior with gear from The Sleeper or something. Near impossible to get. So we all get banned.
Then my parents get a phonecall at midnight. The guy had a thick Korean accent tells my dad that I'm guilty of credit card fraud, etc.
It was funny. Then they had an event where they killed off the GM character and made it seem like he "went crazy".
