    Hehe, another one I forgot about.

    I have an Orb of Deception (disguises you as the opposing faction) on my warrior and I always happen to carry it on my in case i want to have a little fun with people. Most people know what it is or can tell you are alliance by your flag, but just as many people do not.

    What I like to do is go do Stormwind or Ironforge and start talking in Local Defense chat that there is level 60 orc running around. Many people would "hunt" for me and I would egg then on. I tried my best to only let people see me from my distance so that they could see I was an orc, but before they could target me and see my faction.

    The best part about that though is how many low level players would try and chase me or /spit on me. I even get some rogues every once in a while that try to stealth behind me to Backstab or something. I also like it when said people tell everyone that the "orc" is cheating because he cannot be attacked lol.

    Another good one that can't be done anymore was kiting the Servants from Blasted Lands to SW or IF and let the chaos commence. The Servants were invincible unless you killed their special stone.

    The Orb of Deception has been around since the beginning, I figured it would be an old joke by now, but the new races have revived this prank! I have a lv 70 Draenei shaman and about two months ago I was able to procure an Orb on the auction house for a relatively cheap price. I decided to take my new toy to Goldshire and pester the newbies.

    So I turn myself into a Blood Elf (male) and run around using the old [Orcish]: kek routine. I figured I might get a laugh or two, but instead I got a small entourage of low level newbies who were spitting on me and taunting me. I figured time was running low so I said in /say "Want to see my next trick?" and *poof* I was a Draenei again.

    People were actually shocked, but what sent me tumbling out of my chair was when one of them literally said: "I feel so stupid!" I could almost see this guy banging his face on the desk...

    Are they colorblind or something? Actually, since they could read your /say and still didn't get it they must be borderline retarded.

    Hey everyone, I have a friend who gave me his account to borrow and play his level 70's. I have my own account, but after reading this thread, and since he talks so much crap about pwning me in COD4, I figured it might be time to create my own unique griefing story.

    He has multiple level 70's I believe (at least 2 to be sure, mostly on different servers).

    Who wants to help me in planning a great revenge? PM me!

    Get a wedding dress, a bouquet and a letter stating that he married his most hated guildie, have that guildie roll an alt with their name in it, put him in a tux and march them both out to the opposite faction's capital, either in the SW chapel or in front of Thrall.

    Do this for every single one.

    Remember back when . . . I think it was GamePro magazine. . . had a fake way to get the girls to take off their tops in DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball in their April issue? Yeah, a friend of mine spent an entire day trying to make it happen. :P

    Also, back when I played female characters on MUDs, people who propositioned me would discover that my elf chick was actually a tentacle monster in disguise, and would be anally raped by 10-inch thick razor-edged tendrils. I stopped doing that when I came across someone who actually enjoyed it and wanted to keep roleplaying out that kind of cyber. I think he was a furry :P

    Tentacle Rape =/= Furry Fandom.

    I used to be a pretty big dick back in my starcraft days. One of my favorite things to do (before they fixed it with a patch) was 'save' an online game I was playing. For some reason you could just save a game, be it single player or multiplayer. When you save a game, the title of the game comes up on everyones screen. So I would call the game "virus to drive C:\". When I did this the giant words "Saving virus to drive C:\" would appear in a giant blue text box on everyones screen. you would be suprised how many people would panic and log out immediately, causing me to win the match.

    Another great thing to do in WoW (I think I told this before here... did I?) is to buff people with water walking (if you're a shaman) just as they're jumping off a cliff into some water..

    Damn you! I was going to post that. I plan to do it next time I go into heroic Slave Pens. Another fun water-walking based griefing is resing people that died from falling into deadly water. When you res in WoW, the person is teleported to the rezer and revived. So a shaman could use waterwalking to res someone on top of the water that killed them, and kill them again.

    This comic explains it well.

    Better one: doing the same thing with Kazzak.

    Another good one from WoW: a little while before I quit, I decided I would start ganking people in Stormwind on my druid. I did this over two days, before raid time.

    Much hilarity was had.

    I had a special penchant for killing people in the auction house. Didn't see that one coming! Anybody flagged was fair game, regardless of level: their fault for being flagged in their own capital, right?

    The best, however, was when I took on two level 70 rogues at the same time. Beat the shit out of them, because I was a druid, and they were puny rogues.

    The canals especially worked to my advantage. At any time, I could jump in them, seal form, and swim the hell away. People could, theoretically, follow me on mount along the waterside, but generally there were enough bridges and whatnot that I could get away and stealth again.

    The worst was when I ran into two twink level 60 healy paladins. I could NOT FUCKING KILL THEM. It was horrible.

    In the original unpatched Age of Empires II: Conqueror's expansion, I discovered completely accidentally that unbuilt buildings (i.e. just the foundations) still counted as buildings, but were completely impossible to kill. I went on games, put up a couple of houses, killed all my villagers and town centers, and alt-tabbed out to do something else. Sometimes, my opponent would comb the map for almost an hour looking for my last units.

    It's not ganking if they all opt into it. They just weren't expecting to be called on their opt-in.

    [edit] This actually belongs in the Christmas thread [/edit]

    I'm going to throw my hat in there with everyone else and say those Eve stories are incredible. The fact that those things happen really makes me feel like it's a true world that those people enter into and not a timesink 'game' like every other MMORPG. Eve has so many things I like, space, spaceships, beautiful spacey graphics, realistic economy and jobs, freeform gameplay, but I'm just so intimidated by it. I'm afraid to pay 15 bucks a month to be an asteroid farmer with little to no chance of being in corporation that's involved in anything really interesting.

    Not for straight people.

    My best gaming prank was during the launch of City of Heroes. There were no capes at the time, but it was known it was something you would have to unlock in the game, whenever they did it. All the beta testers knew the capes weren't coming until a future patch, but the beta forums got wiped so the people who got in on launch day didn't know this.

    After the 100th person asking in general chat how to get a cape, I started telling people (VERY low level people) that they had to talk to an NPC in the center of Perez Park.

    I'm fairly certain several people got killed this way.

    This worries me, too, since I 1v1 pvp'd a druid in my guild on my rogue and stomped his ass outright. The best part is he was ye old farmer central, be it BG grinding to get gear, or instance running to get gear, and he was constantly on the prowl in World PVP, and I was still wearing quest blues and/or blues from BC 5 man non heroics. Some people just suck somethin fierce.

    I never PVP'd for shit..ever.

    The first time it happened it was an accident, but it's pretty darn funny to do on purpose (It's WoW, BTW):

    1. Go to Booty Bay on a PvP server

    2. Look for anyone dueling, make sure they have an AoE spell or ability.

    3. Stand next to them. Wait for that person to use AoE ability.

    4. Watch guards slaughter them.

    5. /Laugh and /Flex.

    The leader of the GHSC posts occasionally here on Penny Arcade.


    He stopped playing EVE for the longest time. Just recently he came back, and made a post consisting of something nonsensical codephrase sounding on the main politics discussion board. I forget what it was, but something like "All agents: Code Alpha".

    Had all the major alliance heads running around having fits all day, worried that GHSC sleeper agents were about to tear their corps apart.

    "Linda" actually. Nothing to worry about, just a harmless word ;)
