    I am totally evil for finding the scams in EVE Online funny. Back when I 'lived' in Declan next to Goonswarm space, I was befriended by Vile Rat. Goons are known for their rather loose definitions of 'friends' and 'allies' as people not to be shot and killed. Goon policy actually was at the time 'Shoot them and tell VR' if the target was neutral or friendly. Certain players not in Goons could be individually marked as nontarget, I have a sneaking suspicion this was what happened with me because I could apparently wander with impunity around Goons and I never ended up dead. With VR gone I wouldn't try some of the insane crap I did now [I flew a ship and cargo worth around $500US in real world money 35 jumps through Goonspace with nothing more than a newbie frigate dual boxed in. Think of it as the WW2 Queen Mary loaded with half the goodies from the Metropolitan Museum being sailed through the north Atlantic with a rowboat escort at the height of the Wolf Pack.]

    In EVE, anything you can think of scamwise, you can try. People have set up 'investment banks' and run legit for a fair amount of time, then scarpered off with the resources. People routinely sell 'original' unlimited blueprints that are limited run copies, ships that purport to be fitted with tech 2 stuff that has vendor trash equipped, all sorts of stuff. People run 'casinos' where you and over millions of ISK [in game cash] and play poker or number guessing games - some casinos are legit, most are scams. [I know a pilot who regularly makes hundreds of millions of ISK playing poker at a particular legit site] And yes, there are Nigerian EVE scammers as well

    If EVE is representative of the future of Mankind let loose in the universe, we should be very scared
    EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

      I was playing The Saboteur and some of the little things made me smile. In the game, you're playing an Irishman living in France when the Nazis invade. After his friend is butchered by a Nazi commandant, he hooks up with La Resistance to sabotage the Nazi occupation of Paris.

      One of the achievements for the game involves climbing all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower ("Top of the World, Ma")... and another achievement involves jumping from a certain height and surviving-- which usually means landing in water. As it happens, there are pools of water near the base of the Eiffel Tower. So...

      Yup. I jump and aim for the pool. And the Irishman's limbs are flailing as he falls, and then he screams out: "BLOODY HELLLLLLLLLLLLL!"

      It cracked me up.

      The game also had difficulty levels of Easy, Normal, Hard, and Feckin' Hard.

        I once destroyed everyone in Orgrimmar back when I played World of Warcraft. Orgrimmar being the capital of the Horde faction, and generally the MOST populated area in the game. Seriously. Thousands of people in there.

        There was an NPC waaaay off in a place called Feralas, who was kill on sight to my faction, Horde. She also had an ability which I lovingly dubbed "chain moon lazer"...which basically called down a massive storm of lazers. From the moon. Even better -- this ability "chained"....anyone nearby the attack, would ALSO get the attack, and it'd go on and on until it ran out of people.

        She also would never, EVER stop chasing you once you attacked her. Either you, or her, had to die.

        This gave me ideas.

        Being a warlock who liked to set things on fire, I thought it'd be the funniest thing ever to poke said NPC with a fireball, and haul tail back home. All the way across the continent. On foot.

        So me and my priesty buddy hauuuuled through zone after zone. Anyone who came to see what the ruckus was...killed in seconds. We managed to keep just ahead of her...although, she did zap my priest buddy a few times. (I used speed boosts. I just have to outrun you, you know!)

        Half an hour later, we reach Orgrimmar, and I start screaming "NARELIIIIIII JENKIIIINNNNSSS" and generally screaming loudly. People come to see what the noise is...and the FUN BEGINS.

        The NPC goes nuts, firing lazers EVERYWHERE. People are just dropping like flies, and it chains ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY. People are just like, "Wait what WHY DID I DIE JUST NOW". I even managed to run into Garrosh Hellscream's throne room, and get HIM killed. (Thrall is better than that usurper!)

        So yep. I spent a good half hour teleporting and generally running around the city, getting as many people killed as possible, until the city finally rallied enough to kill her and end the massacre. There were skeletons as far as you could see....just mounds of them.

        It's one of my favorite memories, and one of the funniest. Just seeing the sheer panic and chaos that ensued...holy cow. I'd almost go back to WoW again just for that.

              Mostly in that game, I was destroyer of Alliance. And Cameron Diaz.

              ...but seriously, there was also a time where just three of us stopped a 55-man Alliance raid on Undercity. Seriously, don't attempt to hurt the Dark Lady when there's a Nareli right nearby hanging out. I quietly dropped seeds of corruption (a time-delayed bomb, basically) on the tanks and healers, and then ran into the middle and did an area-wide fear. Cue sudden EVERYTHING RUNNING EVERYWHERE, and then explosions. Lots, and lots of explosions. I then teleported out before they could figure out what exactly happened, and repeated it.

                Haha that video has shades of old-school Kazzak in Vanilla...if you kited him to Stormwind, he became immortal, since he had that AOE that would heal him if it killed something/someone. The guards and lowbies would die over and over, and he would stay at 100% until the GMs reset the server.

                  One of my favourites is when myself and two friends were playing the Halo: Reach campaign. Ok... 3 of my favourites XD

                  1: One of the missions you have to get to a Facility with Sabre craft (Space ship/fighter combo) - How ever you land on a beach and have to make it past landing Covenant forces (anyone who's played it should know the scene) -
                  We blitzed that beach in a minute 30. Including killing everything that landed, we didn't just run past them. This included epic cinematic moments, like leaping a rock and getting a headshot on a grunt at the same time, or Al running up to bash an elite, just as my last shot drops its sheilds. We got to the Facility doors, paused for a second and pretty much universally commented "holeeeeee sh%t."

                  2 - Tom and I had plasma cannons we'd ripped from their mounts. Al had a shotgun and sword, which he never got to use until the cannons went dry. Cue Al "Now I know what Darth Vader feels like."

                  3 - Similar to 2, Tom and I had sniper rifles, Al running around with a sword. Al would be running towards a Covenent saying "I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him" when you hear a single "Bang" and the covenent is dropped.

                  We may or may not had deliberately started shooting the ones he ran towards.... XD
