neonvincentSince I finally started playing a MMORPG, in this case Rift, after a long history of frustration with Final Fantasy XI and XIV, all of the lore about these games has become more relevant to me. For starters, here's something I stumbled across yesterday that I found absolutely fascinating.
The 7 Biggest Dick Moves in the History of Online Gaming
Of course, it's Cracked.
No surprise, World of Warcraft provides two of the seven. What was interesting was that EVE provided another two examples. Even more interesting was the difference between the two games' brands of outlandishly bad behavior. WOW's dick moves all involved highly dishonorable ways of killing lots of people. EVE's were all about theft, fraud, and embezzlement--in short, money, lots of money. Since I've never played EVE, I had no idea.
Rift is a very new game, so it didn't even exist when this article was published. Here's to hoping I don't see it used as an example in a follow-up.
