Post by Kaldaur »

This is a great of some of the biggest cock blocks in MMO gaming, and Everquest (no surprise) holds a few of those places. Give it a read!

I think Fansy is more on the awesome side of the scale rather than "dick move"!

The Corrupted Blood Plague from WoW should be in there! It was even studied by epidemiologists and had international news coverage.

Most memorable for me was the one they listed as #3. I'm in the group picture they used there. Gold helmet, behind the crystal. :) Asheron's Call was so fucking fun back in the day.

And certainly the "Arming of Cazic Thule", although that would be a better Veeshan-only thing...

Eve Online should have won with this story. Instead it wasn't even mentioned! It was all legal within the game rules too!


Quote:
EVE Online had its biggest mutiny in history. ShackNews has reported:
"In what may be the most significant case of in-game espionage in history, one of the largest guild of players in CCP's spaceship MMO EVE Online, Band of Brothers (BoB), was entirely disbanded today when a BoB director defected to the SomethingAwful-derived Goonfleet. In a story that only EVE Online could spawn, Goonfleet Intelligence Agency (GSA) leader The Mittani and his league of spies managed to 'encourage' a Band of Brothers director to turn coat, transferring trillions of BoB's in-game ISK currency to the Goons before nullifying BoB's control over all of its territory."

Also, I remember a funeral for a RL player in WoW by friends and guildmates that got attacked and killed. That was cold blooded dickery in the first degree.

Here is that WoW funeral fiasco. Hatred like that takes me back to EQ!

EVE has had so much assholery, it's hilarious. And I'm proud to say that Goonfleet was at the heart of most of it.

Eve could have made a list of its own, to be honest. I recall one corporation infiltration that resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars--the corp leader's lost implants were in the hundreds of dollars as well.

The Fansy was a great episode and showed just how much the game could be exploited. And yeah, Aslanna, most of those are on the side of cool rather than 'dick move'. Especially the slime one; I'd missed that story from UO and in a game with a lot of dick moves, that one took the cake.

UO really took the cake, I quit early on due to it. Seemed like 90% of the players must've been sociopathic 13 year old basement dwellers on crack and the powers that were didn't do anything at all to restrain them.

The Fansy deal was awesome, "Go go good team!". :)

I'd say The Sleeper incident probably should be there somewhere. Where it was supposed to be unkillable but like 300 people started to kill it.. Only to have GMs despawn it before it died. I don't have exact details but everybody knows what I'm talking about!

That's definitely more dicksy than Fansy breaking non-existent rules!

Not necessarily a dick move, but gifting a sword at fan faire that guilds worked hard to get wasn't the best idea.

Blade of War! Oh man that was a great thread. Unfortunately it was one of the ones lost.

True. I guess the Sleeper incident wouldn't really qualify as 'elaborate'.

All is now right with the world.

Though, I think #1 on the biggest list is actually one of the most elaborate too.

Goons are OK, but the shit the Guiding Hand Social Club pulled was spectactularly evil:

$1100? Feh, try $16,500.

Sorry, $170,000 destroys everything else. I wonder how much he had left to cash in after he built his giant, badass ship and put a stupid bounty on his own head?

Masteen, I remember reading about that five or so years ago. Upon finishing the article, I immediately went home and installed Eve.
