200+ EverQuest players kill "unkillable" creature
Still Around...Still Gamin'...
That's a really uplifting story, even though I don't play EQ. It kind of makes me want to be a part of it... but at the same time, I want to keep a real-world life...
I heard about that man, craziness.
I wish we had that kind of stuff in EQPS2=/
wowThats some serious online gaming
feitctaj !
Ugh... no longer an unkillable creature, they redid the mob. It used to have some absoutely absurd like 30k regen a tick but they nerfed it. Upped it's dps but after the regen was booted it was just a matter of time until enough people got bored enough to sit there and kill it. It was still never meant to be killed, and will never be killed again.
No loot = No point.
Uhh... I think you're missing the point: they killed the un-killable! Loot lasts for as long as you own it, glory lasts forever... err, something like that.Originally Posted by hezeuschrist
I guess its important to them to be world renowned in a make-believe world.Uhh... I think you're missing the point: they killed the un-killable! Loot lasts for as long as you own it, glory lasts forever... err, something like that.
I see your point... Eh, if it floats yer boat, I'm not against it.
bah, no eq bashing, whether eqpc or eqoa, eq=uber.I guess its important to them to be world renowned in a make-believe world.Uhh... I think you're missing the point: they killed the un-killable! Loot lasts for as long as you own it, glory lasts forever... err, something like that.
What an inspiring show of co-operation.
So what did this big foozle do, exactly?
if EQ ever had an ending that would be it right there.
Fear your thoughts because they become your words
Fear your words because they become your actions
Fear your actions because they become your habits
Fear your habits because they become your character
Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

That is pretty insane, and i dont even play the game.
Does that thing fight back? It would have been sweet to see it attacking the mob, offing them left and right, then you'd see deceased come running back in from their bind zone.
Man, that kind of makes me miss EQ. At least FFXI should be able to ease the pain after christmas.
Reminds me of a battle I saw during the beta period of Earth and Beyond. I was hauling trade goods from one planet to another, in my simple ship (only had a missle launcher and two laser cannons) when I got a broadcast SOS. Some aliens were coming out in the same sector that Earth was in and attacking anything and everything. Even though I could'nt do much, I changed course right away and blasted back into hyperspace. Five minutes when I got there, my jaw dropped. About twenty or so alien ships, which looked to be battleships, were on a dead run for Earth, blasting everything in their path. There was about a hundred or so PC ships allready in the area, trying to cordinate attacks and do something to slow them down. (I found out later it was a 'test' done by the creators on purpose. If we stopped the main space station from being destroyed, we'd get some free time. They also wanted to test lag and ship limits in a sector. Needless to say, there WAS some bad lag.) I made attack runs from long distance until I finally had to limp out there with my weapons destroyed and my engines heavily damaged. We succeeded in stopping the attack, though.
A friend has told me that a similar thing happened in Jumpgate, an older online game that he plays in.

Soul, nice story, but from what I hear, nothing in MMORPG history could compare to this battle.
Not sure if this is true or not, but I once read that way back when Ultima Online first started a group of players actually managed to off Lord British (the character, not the designer :P ) within like the first few months or so and they weren't supposed to do that.
THAT should've been a big "D'oh!"

I read that too. It's supposingly true as there was an article about it in Computer Gaming World. The only difference was that it was a single individual I believe and not a group. I think he set up a trap, snuck behind and killed him from behind while he was giving a speech or something. The guy was supposingly banned for doing it I hear.
The only thing that sucks about the EQ story though is that for a kill that grand they should have received some sort of Godly treasure or something.
God drops no loot.
