This week’s Community Spotlight focuses on the thread “The MMO Memories that make you cringe” by Azen77. In the thread, Azen77 polls the community on their worst MMO memories, though he put it in a far more interesting manner than I just did:

Froced grouping and corpse retrieval in EQ 1 = ruined me forever,....
I died once in a party wipe way at the bottom of the Froglock? city/caverns This was a bout 12 years ago, then the whole party just ups and quits and leaves me there. I'm naked standing out front asking and asking in global if someone could please help me.
My "hero" will never beg again. |

Originally posted by Aramanu2 ROFL, great one.... My first pvp action in Wow only to find that the troll we finally killed just res'd at the local graveyard a short distance away. When a one group of hibs in DAoC took over our Albion frontier and even with 5 groups we could do nothing about it, because of their expansion skills. |

6+ hour AV's in vanilla WoW (oddly enough, I also count those as good memories at times). The entire AoC launch. The whole damn thing. Becoming a "Dread Lord" about 30 minutes into UO with my first character at launch because of laggy combat at a camped spawn point. Corpse runs in EQ1. The hacking/afk-macroing/generally crappy Darkfall community. Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned. |

Hm, when my first MMO guild, folks I really liked, suddenly began to use Teamspeak and chat went all dead, since I am not able to use TS and suddenly I lost contact entirely. It was horrible. I liked those guys and got along very well, but the force of habit was too strong... it was an experience which really scarred me. I got a vivid anti TS feeling ever since. Also, camping various named boss mobs in EQ2, only to see them snatched away by some assholes. Anyone recalls that named fish in Enchanted Lands? And the infamous NGE, of course. A mass-trauma! |

loved the Lotro wolves quote...so true.
As for me... I'd say WoW from 40-60. So utterly crap and grindy that it took me months to do it. MMO wish list: -Changeable worlds |

WoW - opposing faction guilds guarding the entrances to specific end-game dungeons on PvP servers in Vanilla WoW. It got so bad at one point, I rage quit the game. That's the only time I've ever rage quit an MMO. AoC - I had high expectations for this game and launch was one of the worst I've ever seen. Also, I was stupid enough to splurge on the collector's edition before it was released. Never again. Current: None |

sto.... being told i "just dont get it" IF THE ONLY DEFENCE FOR CRITICISM OF A GAME IS CALLING SOMEONE A TROLL OR HATER, THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE GAME |

2 weeks after launch Vamguard had a double xp weekend, i played 36 hours straight went from lvl 32 to nearly 35. Game crashed i relogged and had lost all the xp and was back 32 and devs couldnt do anything to help i quit next day. We are sorry for this inconvenience it is a known issue and there is nothing we can do to give u back that xp and items u had found. |

Falling asleep at my desk grinding light blue mobs in Lineage 2. Still some of my best experiences in MMO's have come from L2. |

I do this constantly. I get all nostalgic and misty eyed over some MMO (at least a dozen and counting), go back to it and realise that I actually hate it. The lotro comment made me laugh. You could add bears, boars and spiders to the list too. |

Again, like many have said already. The games you remember the worst of times in are generally the games you remember the best of times in. Every 'amazing' experience I've had in an MMORPG has almost always come from Shadowbane despite its gigantic load of flaws right out of the box. And even though I maintain that WoW is mediocre-to-decent as far as an entire game goes, I always end up going back for some reason, so.
