Surprised its not been mentioned yet, but:

No myth, true story. Only if he awakes and guild wipes within certain amount of time from what I heard. Xev server, I remember being in Velks and everyone was spammed with about 20 lines of red text followed by loading please wait... theres an MPEG of it floating on Youtube somewhere.

Not sure if counts as a rumour but something cool that I liked was the GM private zone, a white circular zone, probably the size of an arena, with steps into a middle courtyard and clicky pictures of every city (not that they needed them). I got summoned there once by accident for about 10 seconds before the dude realised what he did. Looked pretty cool and had a sick zone name but it escapes me.

Level of spell cast influences resists. (As opposed to the correct, level of the caster, not the actual spell).

#1 pet peeve with enchanters who don't use Mesmerize. "It resists too much because level 4 spell". Nope. Dazzle and Mesmerize resist at the same rate.

Was told in my early days that if you turned the lights in Ak'Anon in the right order that the dragon of Ak'Anon would be spawned inside the lake.

Spent days in my early teens clicking those damn lights (they do actually rotate for some reason) trying to figure out how to do it. Was level 20, didn't care, wanted to see a dragon.

This is a good one. I forgot people used to say this.

One that I had that is probably not very common involved Ak'Anon and the Red V quest. If you kill obsolete clockworks + Red V you can get an item to turn into a guy near the entrance of Ak'Anon that usually resulted in some patchwork armor, few gold, rusty weapons, etc.

Occasionally, you would be awarded a Bullsmasher, which was this awesome 6/20 NON-MAGIC weapon for small races.

The rumor was if you did this enough times you'd summon the King of Ak'Anon and he would award you a magic version of the Bullsmasher that was 7/20 (and better than a SSoY!).

I can't tell you how many times I did that quest. It was more than likely something that somebody made up in Steamfont on my server.

That Fine Plate could be dyed AFTER the fact, leading to many scammers claiming to be smiths and saying "I'll dye your armor black, for 50pp, just hand me the bp!"

Fine Plate is dyed AFTER it is made. It's just that once it's dyed it cannot be dyed again (i.e. dying recipes require the undyed stuff.)
