General Discussion

SWG: The NGE.

In all of my years of gaming, or just on the internet in general for that matter, I've never seen a shitstorm that even compares to that one.

I  wasn't on the WoW server it happened on, but I remember that video of the one WoW guild that attacked that in game funeral in a contested territory.

*edit*  Best drama in MY MMO history.  lol  Sorry.

The time I was going to close down the (EQ raiding) guild I ran to merge with another like minded guild (because my guild didn't have enough volunteers for leadership to function the way we wanted it to).  Instead people didn't want to merge, so I left and handed it over to some people who all of the sudden had an urge to lead (raids).  Funny because I asked them to help lead not a week before and they turned me down.  My top officer and I (the only raid leaders we had at the time I made the decision) joined up with the guild I had approached about the merge.

So that lasted about a month.  I was the devil during all of that to the old guildies (even though I was responsible for every victory we had and all the organization we had that made us a strong guild).  But in the end the guild died because the leadership vanished.  The guild then broke up and everyone went their separate ways.

Guess they should have merged to preserve the friendships.  The friendships were what mattered most.  I told them that was my intention, but they didn't listen.  The guild faded away as I anticipated it would if it did not merge.

Definitely drama I'll never forget.  The only silver lining was that my analysis of a non-merger future was dead on.

*edit*  For one of the best dramas of MMO history I would have to site the utter failure of Vanguard, and the shit slung around on the beta boards.  I'm not kidding people were PISSED!

The biggest drama that I ever personally witnessed was when our first raid leader; a guy who played a female character (and pretended to be female IRL in order to manipulate people) decided to randomly replace our tried'n'tested DKP system with a "the item goes to who I think should get it and that's final" system.

After teo weeks of raiding and him giving a ton of items to himself and his 2 RL friends, we staged a mutiny, all /gquit, reformed under a new name and carried on with our old DKP system.

The funniest part was walking past him in Ironforge several months later, me in my full Tier2 and him in his half blue/half Tier1 crap.

yeah that was brutal!

WoW has too many people, Too many different people and thats a good enough reason for shit to stir up. just sit back and Watch Barren Chats or Noobshire.

My MMO Drama History:

SWG: Pre CU -

A girl in our guild threw a bitch fit becaue we would not allow wookiee's ionto the guild . . . and everytime we saw a wookie, we would taunt them.  Well, she was mayor of our city, and gave some of our arch enemies permission to build in our Class 5 city.  They came, built houses, then one the lection and evicted the rest of us.  One of the largest Imperial guilds on the server . . . without a home.  SHe had other issues too, but that was the one that tipped the bucket.

The whole month that the drama was being played out, the server forums were ablaze with the airing of dirty laundry from our guild.

lol

I think anyones whos ever been guilded in WoW has experienced some sort of MMORPG drama. Collectivly, however, I would say the SWG CU/NGE changes would be the greatest,
