Evillest thing you've done in an MMO

Little background.

When FFXI came out, there was an ability everyone had access to which was called check. Now check just gave an idea of the level range. So you had mobs that were too weak, easy, decent challenge, even, tough, very tough, and impossible to gauge.

Now this only gave you an idea of their level, it didn’t mean anything about how strong they were. So a mob that was level 1 could still kill you if it had the stats to back it up.

Anyway, I had unlocked beastmaster, and there were many, many fun things you could do. One of which, was charm various monster NPC’s.

So one day, I took one of the mobs which was about level 20 or something, and stuck him just outside one of the capital cities. I then released him…and ran like hell.

Mob agro worked differently in FFXI when it first came out. So if you left a mob in the zone and it was agroed, it would often kill anyone who was nearby.

Lo and behold I left my quest mob in front of the gates. A player of 30 would see it, check it, attack it, then DIE.
Anyone who came out of the city in that moment? Also dead.
The monster leash was zone based, so until someone killed it or leashed it out of the area it stayed right where it was, happily killing anyone who came out.

My friend did the same thing on his BM, and then he ate a GM penalty of 3 days. Brutal.

Another time in a game called Istaria, my friends and I got bored. We then dragged an epic monster of level 120 named Fenrir and left it in the main capital of Bristugo with all the portals. Hilarity ensues.

Mobs in that game didn’t have a leash. They stopped agroing ONLY if the player escaped their distance.

So…yeah…we dropped the equivalent of Mythic Azshara on an unsuspecting city where it stayed killing people for a few hours.

Played a game called
Dransik back in early 2000. It was a player lootable game.
Long story short …
Notorious speed hacker had a argument with his brother, his brother went on his account and stole the chest with all his looted trophies in it .
Some of my items aswell.
He gave it to me and I deleted over 1000 items.

When I was a Warlock, you could do things with summon portals that you couldn’t do now.

Example: Summon Portal over the edge of a cliff.


Example 2: When underwater breathing was much shorter than it is now, I would cast underwater breathing on me and a mate, swim down far into the ocean, then summon people. They never made it to breathable air and in their panic never thought to use their hearth.
Example 3: Pet Bomb AH Vanilla bug.

I was a jerk back in the day…

Back when Runescape was popular (before OSRS), I would always trick 1 def pures (someone who only trained offensive skills instead of defense to keep their overall level down low) into using spears since they always trained def no matter what stance you used.

This ruined a lot of people’s PvP builds. I feel pretty guilty now lol

You guys are awful :hear_no_evil::speak_no_evil::see_no_evil:

The worst thing I did was kill the Feasel the muffin thief NPC on Argus. After reading the flavor text on the thing it dropped I felt so bad from then on whenever I was over in that area I would attack any Horde who were trying to kill it. Only PvP I willingly engaged in since Wrath.

I have fond memories of kiting Kazzak and Teremus to Stormwind in vanilla on my hunter. Used to have to have server restarts.

“Free gold in Goldshire! Everyone meet me there!”

Good times.

In vanilla you could control your pet as a hunter. I never did it myself, but i saw MANY people use this ability to trick lowbies into attacking the pet and flaggling themselves (non pvp server) and of course subsequently being killed.

During WoLK Naxx was a heavily played raid and because of its location I could Thunderstorm a raid at the summoning stone and half the raid would be pushed into the raid while others had a unfortunate encounter with the ground.

This one time, I challenged an Alliance player to a pet battle, and killed ALL of his pets!

I sat in Duskwood with two guildies and camped a lowbie. When they cried for help from their guild, I brought mine.

Stay Classic!

Back in Star Wars Galaxies, you could be in the same guild as a Rebel or Imperial, so I was a Rebel, and two of my guildies were Imperial. They’d always brag in voice chat because they were Commandos with Stormtrooper gear, which was a stupid thing to brag about because it wasn’t hard to get, but they were annoying me because I was/am petty at random.

Anyway, these guys had to be like 8-10 years old, and they were members of my guild, which I was GM of, and I was like 14-15, so they trusted/looked up to me. Now, if you’ve ever seen Revenge of the Sith, you know where this is going because I played a Dark Jedi in that game.

TL;DR, I chose to recreate the youngling murder scene from the movie, or, for those of you who played Warcraft 3—“This entire city must be purged!”

I lured these guys into a cantina in Mos Espa, the “other” city in Tatooine, where there was nothing. I think I told them there was a secret entrance we hadn’t explored there or something stupid, and I told them to flag for PvP, and they didn’t know what that meant, so I just told them what to type and they did it. Again, I am their guild master AND they’re pretty young. They had no idea, lmao.

Anyway, they come into the cantina where I was, I leave our group, and proceeded to fry them over and over and over, all the while listening to their screams over voice chat.

“OW OW, I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
“DON’T DB, NO DB! PLEASE!”

(DB means deathblow, which was the final click you’d do on a player corpse to completely kill them. I did DB them, repeatedly.)

It was a happy moment, for me. They just kept coming back for more. Best of all, they didn’t even get mad, one of them just said, “Getcha next time, fish boy. My mom is calling me.”

I played the “IT’S A TRAP” species, that’s why they called me fish boy, if you’re wondering. Gotta love playing with little kids.

In the murderous way, of course :slight_smile:

Lost me at a little background.

I still occasionally get the prank spree in me.

Also back in Vanilla on my priest. The chain leading to MC, Mind Control people right into the Lava. That also got some pretty good hate…

I loved to gank Alliance at the entrance of Zangarmarsh as a very geared Mage.
Would hop on this specific shroom and aim anyone crossing from Hellfire. It would take a while for others to spot me in there, with nogger and other stuff making me very small.

Ahhh I remember when I one shot a curious 60 with a huge Fireball crit. Heh.
Oh but I never ganked same player more than once.

I managed to get in to Classic last night. While waiting on Garrick, another person came up and wouldn’t party up.

I inspected them, saw they were a fellow mail-user, waited about 30 seconds and then offered them a trade of an extra piece of gear that was an upgrade for them.

Right as the trade window hit, Garrick spawned while they were trying to accept trade. I got the tag. They had to wait for spawn.

They did get the chest piece… I’m not totally evil… but yeah that’s about the evil-est thing I’ve done intentionally.

Mind control is hell of a drug

Back during cata I would play threat chicken with the tanks, when the boss started coming at me I’d soul shatter… the problem was that if the tank wasn’t fast enough our lead heals would likely become a splat.
