My favorite Age of Wushu grief was trade chat scamming. There was a global trade chat window that anyone in a major city could read. It was kind of like that of other mmo's like World of Warcraft but also different because instead of normal names for items like "big sword of +1 swordery", names would be weird asian poo poo like, "golden dragon pierces the veil" or "forced castration event faction change". Common trade chat messages would read like, "WTS double blade hard goldwood quality" and "WTB iron ore 1.5D" and both of those phrases would have meaning. One popular item "Goose Step" was like sub-zero's slide move from Mortal Kombat. It was a dash in any direction and on a very short cooldown. Having it made you immune to anyone who didn't. Acquiring the goose step skill required reading the goose step book, which was a rare drop from a high level instance, and consumed on use. Prices for the book in major cities varied from 1.5D to a few hundred L. (D and L are Chinese currencies that make sense in China. 1D is about 1000L or 100L. A nice ring might sell for 340L, while bread might be less than 1L. There was another skill called "whilwind step" that was activated by jumping while in mid-air after jumping. It made you twirl around and gain altitude. The skill was arguably more useful than goose step, but it was a common drop from a low level instance and so it was frequently not even stocked by anyone, and if stocked at all, cheap, like 5L or so. It was considered better to run a low level instance a few times with a high level friend to get whirlwind step rather than to pay for it. That said, it shared the same icon as goose step, and also ends with the word "step". In age of wushu, you can right click on names in the chat box and send mail, including packages, including COD instructions. So a fun thing to do is to sit idle in a major city and wait for someone to post in trade: "WTB GOOSESTEP 700L". This is a low price and he wants it immediately. I send him a cheap skill book for a C.O.D. at his asking price . 4/5 times I get no response and the book is returned to me within 3 days; the game's delivery-failed-item-returned time. But occasionally something magical returns. Rarely, very, very rarely - I got a notification icon on my mailbox. Along with a purple text in my chatbox, "Ur dead" I've been corpse camped, posted about on official forums, name-called, had bounties put on me, stalked and thrown in jail, "GIMME BACK MY MONEY!!" They can kill me all day long - the worst that'll happen is I forget to take off my gear and I eat a repair bill. I've been corpse-camped in the graveyard - naked, gear broken, killed-the-instant-respawn-protection-kicks-in camped; for upwards of 15 minutes at a time. But it doesn't matter. No matter what keys they hit, they can't get back that money. I've stood squatted, legs spread dancing in my underwear while wearing a pointy asian straw hat across a jail cell from a man who'd just killed me. He couldn't do anything. I'd stolen his money and he'd just killed me. Now I was in jail and he'd come to shout some more and maybe yell and punch his keyboard. But I just stood like this:  only I didn't have pants on either and I was actually naked save for an asian pointy hat like this:  and also the whole time he threatened me he was surrounded by dozens of similarly dressed hooting and shouting goons who promptly killed him and sent him to jail for 3 hours after he killed me (again) repeatedly for after the 30 minute mark after my ghandi-like passive resistance, the "criminal grievance" debuff wore off and he was just ganking me repeatedly for no reason as far as the game was concerned so I just placed a bounty on him (for exactly the cost of the book I scammed off him), I paid for him to get 3 hours jail time so long as a "constable" player damaged him at least once before he died the next time. Reggin might have screenshots of that one. It ended up with him in jail while a party of the people who'd (in his eyes) stolen 600L from him squatted around making fun of him in jail. While on the other hand in our eyes he'd bought and paid for entertainment provided by no less than a dozen goons while he experienced an emotion of his choice for 6 hours. (It's not our fault he chose "impotent rage")

In wuxia novels, people would generally lure others into traps out of town by hitting them and running. We were just great roleplayers. That and there were a few bridges that needed to be crossed at times where people may have been lotus palmed off of and then thrown into ground far below.

Wushu was the best, Reggin was hilarious to play with and It convinced me to play games with goons again. My favorite was being conscripted into the anti horse hit squad. In wushu they had events where you could raid a school (each class was a "school" , had their own city/temple) and steal their kung fu books. Get enough books and you could learn an ability from that school. Some of the good ones were worth minor fortunes. The idea of the event was to kung fu your way into the school, escape with a scroll on your back, and ride off into the sunset with your kung fu books. Goontang never went into the school. We waited outside at choke points to kill people with books and take their hard earned work. The class i played was royal guard and they had a kung fu style which used a iron claw on a chain to grab people. It was unique in that it was the only way to dismount other players instantly. Once reggin found out I was this class I was promised to be personally lead into the halls of Valhalla all shiny and chrome if I just sat back and pulled people off horses. Any time one of the poop sock super high level dudes would attempt to leave the zone (which completed the stealing event) about 5 of us low level minions would rush out of the bushes and yank the dude off his horse, beat him to death, and steal his books. Not only was this hilariously effective, it made everyone loving HATE us. It also helped that 99% of the players operated on a "gently caress you got mine" mentality during this event and would ride past helpless guild mates.

The ability to point a bunch of coordinated people at a game populated by uncoordinated individuals and small groups, all of whom hate each other, has always been the goon MO, and it is always hilarious.

In moon light blade (china game 3.0) I finally got the summon angry tiger ability. It works just as described. I've been summoning it in pvp and if it goes towards and enemy and someone heals that guy, it goes to the healer. Same thing as before, no one can hurt it so it just chases the healer around. It took me about 5 attempts to notice that it just doesn't go after the enemy, but the closest target that is not me. This tends to be my own team.

It's people like that that are completely unable to participate and enjoy the multiplayer experience. Raised on singleplayer, it cannot understand that it will not win every single fight, and that there are other players that are better than it. It is a fat, bloated, giant 12 year old confined to a house with no input but it's own continued, repeated failure. It's amazing.  Edit: Holy poo poo he just keeps going. Round and round the crazy coaster, like his fat head. McGiggins fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Jul 22, 2015 |

I really miss Age of Wushu shenannigans and may have to check out this Moonlight Blade thing. I used to play a Royal Guard in Wushu. Which was an rear end in a top hat with a hook-chain ability that you can use to whip people, smash poo poo up, or the most fun, grab someone and yank them around. My favourite activity in AoW was smashing the carts. These carts are run by players and are escort quests. If the cart gets to the destination, they and their guild get a reward and outside big cities there will be tons of people running the basic 'escort the cart to just outside town' quest. Tons of people expecting a cakewalk and walking their unguarded carts to their destination for a bag of loot. One of these ran a narrow path along a cliff. This is where the Royal Guard chain comes in. Once a cart and the escort comes into reach, I'd jump out of a tree, smack the cart a little to start combat then run to the edge of the cliff with the cart runners in tow. Then I'd jump off the edge, whip them with the chain and swap places with them. So now they're falling down a cliff face while I'm smashing up their cart and stealing all their loot. Either they'd scream and run around in circles at the bottom of the cliff or they'd have to start running back to the start of the path. Towns were also prime places to hide and smash up carts. Either from rooftops, inside trees, or in the one inch gap between buildings with an insane royal guard squeezed inside, occasionally shooting out a claw chain and a huge pile of wreckage outside of it.

If we goon rushed it now, you would have people to play with, but the times certain things open are early in the morning for most americans.

Age of wushu had several variations of it for different nations. The Euro one did a great job on how they wanted the F2P model to be. Most things stayed in the cash shop forever and they had sales. The American one went all hard core whale limited time only. The game progressed through various stages, but poo poo was limited time only or 20+ bucks for sets cash shop only at various times. I think some were as high as 140 bucks. They also kept opening servers since whales would transfer in and go all hard core harpoonin on the economy. This was a major cash source for them. The servers already had a lack of players issue and they refused to consolidate until it was too late. That and the lack of support has pretty much killed the americn servers were. The expansion content they put out was pretty good at times. Like the ability to tie someone down, creating an event to cut off their penis, fighting off players and npcs that spawn to stop you, and if you do this right, you get their dick and they get kicked out of most factions that don't accept eunuchs.

You could do it your self via a quest where you stab your self in the junk in an ice cave screaming "MY LIFE FOR JIANGHU" or paying a crazy guy to do it for you. like two minutes in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1xttH4DThQ   Or you could force someone to have their dick cut off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhjm9zDb3LY You also took the feminine poses in the game after this happened and had a huge debuff since your dilz just got removed. Also it could fail.

As completely hosed up a mechanic as this sounds, I like that even the game recognizes how hosed up it is, and random people will just attack you if you try to do this to somebody else. Still, pretty much the ultimate grief, literally emasculating your opponent's character.
