Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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...

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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.

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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.

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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.Kaldaur wrote:Eve could have made a list of its own, to be honest.

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

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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!

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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.

The 7 BIGGEST Dick Moves in the History of Online Gaming.
Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
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.

$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?

Re: 7 most elaborate dick moves in online gaming history
Masteen, I remember reading about that five or so years ago. Upon finishing the article, I immediately went home and installed Eve.
