In Discworld Mud, somebody managed to get back to the Mended Drum (which is basically the center of the world and where the most people will be at any given time) after being killed by a vampire. Now, vampires are very strong and live in a far-off area of discworld where new, weak people will never go. The problem is that when you're killed by a vampire, your corpse turns into a vampire. So this corpse turned into a vampire and started killing people left and right, who then turned into vampires themselves, setting off a huge chain reaction that ended up with the the town of Ankh-Morpork (the main city in the game) being full of vampires.

I have fond memories of griefing AkAnon in Everquest back in the day. You see, there was a 1 handed blunt weapon you could get from a quest there that was WAY overpowered. I think you only needed to be level 5 to kill the quest mob. The balancing factor was the fact that it was a blunt weapon and would throw your skills out of whack since warriors never use blunt weapons later on. If you just intended to grief the newbie zone though, it was the bees knees. I could take out ANYBODY with this thing. Not even pet classes could touch me because the pet would be dead within 30 seconds and then I'd turn on the caster if they didn't start running soon enough. This was around the time people were killing the gnome guards and leaving the fine steel weapons to rot, which sold for a pretty penny. I went around scavenging what I could, and killing anyone that beat me to the loot. Pretty soon I had a substantial bankroll. Since my main problem was that I didn't have any spells, I spent all my money training up fletching. After a few days of that, I crafted a bow that the game didn't really expect you to be able to afford for a long time. I also made a bunch of expensive arrows. So now I had an overpowered melee weapon as well as a way of killing people who were out of melee range. I eventually met my match though...some guy that had gotten to like level 20 and then delevelled himself back down to level 7 or so. When you delevelled, you got to keep all your weapon skills from the higher level for some reason, so he hit like a freight train and rarely missed.

I camped that poo poo for days, I was the pimpinest halfling warrior ever with it for a while. EQ also had collision detection so if you played a large race like a troll or ogre you could block entrances to zones. I once drove about 50 people insane blocking the entrance to Guk with my grotesquely dancing ogre Shadowknight, who was dressed in alternating red and yellow platemail. I think they even ran a few trains at me to try to dislodge me to no avail. I also used to be that one monk rear end in a top hat who ruined everyone's day in Blackburrow over and over again. I was a master of training Gnolls in that zone, feigning, and making crazy jumps that forced trains to path through the whole level to get to me, obliterating everything in their path. In the Velious expansion there was a crystal mine zone that was a big vertical shaft surrounded by a spiral staircase. As a monk I would agro enemies at the top, jump down to the bottom and take no damage thanks to safe fall, and cause the train from hell to come rolling down the mine annihilating everyone.

It happened at Teth a year and a half before AB was even in the game. By the time AB was added, Teth stopped being a real player hotspot. To answer the earlier question, how did it end? When the rabit had no target it would automatically run to the direction of it's spawn, which was blocked by a wall. Eventually some people managed to lead it out the main gate and after they died, it ran back to it's spawn.

Battlefield Vietnam is by far the best game for griefing. Forgotten by everyone else except the people that love it, it is extremely easy to cause massive amounts of drama. In Battlefield Vietnam there are transport helicopters that you can jump into and walk around in. As in all Battlefield games there's a certain subset of gamers that love using the helicopters and believe that they are more skilled than any other player in the history of mankind. Helicopter meet mortar. See, Battlefield Vietnam also includes deployable mortars which are actually small vehicles. The mortar has one interesting physics property - it wants to make contact with level ground any way that it can. Now, Dice were kind of smart when they implemented the mortar, they made it so you couldn't deploy the mortar on top of vehicles. Unfortunately it's extremely easy to work around this and the results are hilarious. So just before a freshly spawned helicopter takes off you jump into the back of it and deploy your mortar inside, before hopping out and watching from a distance. As the helicopter takes off it seems like nothing is happening at first, then eventually whoever is flying will try and bank a bit to turn. This means that the mortar - with its physics property of wanting to reach the ground - will move towards one of the walls of the helicopter, making that side of the helicopter also want to come into contact with the ground and increasing the helicopters bank. Eventually the bank will increase so much that the mortar will move onto the ceiling of the helicopter making the ceiling want to make contact with the ground. Essentially the helicopter goes up, flips, and hits the ground upside down. Of course the person flying knows that something was wrong with the helicopter, but try telling that to 4 or 5 angry team mates that have just died. Normally one person in particular will be spectacularly butt hurt about this, claiming that the pilot is a "nub" and insisting that they fly next. That's when you do it again. The inevitable explosion on chat is hilarious.

Click the stories link on the left--there's probably a good couple hundred old-school UO griefing stories. Read Warik's, Greybeard's, and Nighthawk's, especially. If you go to the main wtfman site, you'll find links to UOEvil and RonaldMcDonaldland, two other pretty good griefer sites from back in the day Anyone know of a working mirror for the Bonedewd and Platedewd comics?

I think the worst thing I ever did was in Everquest. I had a high level enchanter and I discovered a bug that allowed you to charm something, cast invisibility on it and then break the charm. The only thing is invisibility would never wear off so I'd do that on aggressive mobs and train them into newbies. Eventually many of them figured there was a command to automatically attack whatever is attacking you but many times they would run around all crazy because they didn't know what was going on.

I had a pretty interesting Eve scam I ran on this guy. I was in the starter NPC corp after being rejected into Goon and I was watching all these dipshits talk about whatever. This one guy was ranting about how you should be able to use bots to mine blah blah blah. As many of you know there aren't many rules in Eve, two of the big ones though are that you can't IRL threaten someone and you can't use bots to mine. So a few hours later I send this guy a mail about how I share his thoughts on macromining and could help him out by selling him a bot. So I arrange for him to give me 50mil up front and 50mil afterwards. He sends me 50mil and I give him a megaupload link to some bullshit rar'd file. I think at that point that's it but about a week later he starts sending me mails telling me he can't get it to work. So I decide to press the issue a bit and give him a link to a forum where some lovely public bot is available. We convo back and forth for a few weeks and he keeps complaining that he can't get it to work. So finally I bring up the mention that he still owes me 50mil. He starts getting pissed off so I push his buttons a bit and threaten "further action" to receive the ISK he owes me. This makes him go bat-poo poo and he spouts off a bunch of poo poo like I don't know who the gently caress he is, generic e-tough guy threats. So I push a few more buttons eventually getting him to threaten to "drive to where I live and kick my rear end". So then I bring up the fact that his account will be banned (it was a 2004 character) and tell him if he doesn't pay me the 50mil he owes me, plus another 100mil for hush money, I would petition him for threatening me. He finally pays me after a few more weeks but I petitioned him anyways. I don't know if he got banned but he hasn't logged on in a long time.

I had some good times griefing in Everquest as well. The plane of tranquility became the meeting place for most characters after the planes of power expansion was released and people would often afk there, believing they were safe. There were no monsters in this zone so for the most part they were. I played a druid however, which had a spell which could levitate yourself and other characters. If you levitated someone, and was larger or the same sized race as the victim, you could slowly move them around by standing close to them if you were levitated as well. The plane of tranquility also happened to be surrounded by an ocean so you could push people right over the water and when the spell wore off they would drown. This procedure worked best if you were larger than the other person, so I would always buy up potions that turned you into an ogre or troll and went to work. This wasn't just limited to this zone however. I pushed a few people from the bazaar, where you would afk and set your player up as a vendor essentially, and into the nearby arena or into the portals which lead to other zones. Good times. Training a poo poo load of monsters onto groups and dispelling a characters charmed monster at an inopportune moment was always a good time too, but had a much higher chance of getting you reported.

The first year and a quarter or so of Asherons Call after the game came out, there was no trade mechanism. Trades occurred by droping stuff on the ground, for the other person or anyone to get. Everyone else was playing a game called Asherons Call. I was playing "steal things and make people cry". Every day when I got home from school I would log in, go to Arwic or Gual. I would buy some fancy looking but worthless equipment from a vendor, and throw it on a new character to look like a mule. I had robbing people down to an artform. I did not really care about what I got, so much as simply ripping people off. I received a great, great amount of enjoyment from it. The most common scam would be to argue over the price for an hour and work out the most absurd minutia, haggle past the point of absurdity, then demand half up front because *I* did not trust them, most people would be so tired from haggling they would just hand over half the deal. Of course taking peoples items was not enough. Then you claim this character did not have the item and you had it on another mule and you would be RIGHT back in a second! The method for finding thieves at the time was generally this: Whoever publicly screamed in a crowded town first, "X IS A THIEF!", wins. So after wasting an hour or more of someones time and then robbing them, I would run back to town to cover my rear end. I would scream "X IS A THIEF! X STOLE Y FROM ME! DON'T TRUST X! HE IS A THIEF!" then I would rapidly switch between throw away characters and yell out things like "Z IS RIGHT! X IS A THIEF! HE ROBBED ME LAST WEEK DO NOT TRUST HIM HE IS A SCAMMER!", do this with 3 or 4 characters. I was flabbergasted how often this worked, which seemed to be most of the time. The best part was hanging around town later on an another character, say 10 or 15 minutes later when the person finally caught on they were robbed. Then they would run to town and scream that my character was a thief.... and then hearing total stranger yell back "Don't trust X! I heard he is a thief, he robbed my friend!" etc. A lowercase M looked a lot like an r and an n next to each other. The shenanigans with this were unending. Another good scam would be to make a fake name and impersonate people with a lower case m in their name and join their allegiance(guild), then rob other people claiming to be them. Even more fun would be to impersonate guild leaders with a lower case m in their name. In a crowded town no one could tell who was talking by finding them, they simply heard the chat. So, if you had a fake lower case m, you could accuse people of being thieves etc. Eventually a group of "honest brokers" called the FTF, free trade federation opened on my server. I had one respected character and I was invited to join. The FTF acted as middle men for trades and were seen as the only legitimate trade brokers for the server. Once I joined..... it became so much easier. I would rob people constantly and then scream how THEY were thieves, with my neat little membership in the FTF, their reputations were destroyed in an instant, people were thrown out of their guilds for being scammers. I kept on at this for months and months and months, I was proboably one of the wealthiest players on the server, but I just kept stock piling the loot, I never leveled much, I would just log in most days to rob people. A lot of the UO crowd missed out on AC, the first year and a half were incredibly fun. My thief throw away characters got a notorious reputation as scammers and I would get contacted by people who wanted to learn to steal and scam other players. I would demand absurd, exorbitant fees and the majority of these idiots were willing to pay. They would pay me and I was then to give them an in game book with instructions on how to rob people on it. They received a book, but the only thing written in it was "Just how stupid are you?" I got so many threats of real life violence against me. I was well, an rear end in a top hat. Not only did I rob many people, I then ruined their reputations for no particularly good reason except that it was really, really funny. All of that occured on one of the no pvp servers. On darktide, the asherons call PVP server I robbed blood and other people.... oh boy that was fun. There were a handful of mechanical glitches in the game which very few players new about, they did not do anything useful but it made you look like you knew some great secret. A scam I pulled near a hundred times was to show someone "the dupe bug". There was a trick to make it seem like you could dupe a stackable item, like arrows, when in reality nothing happened. I would tell them I was new to the server and needed some stuff worth duping and if they would help provide the original items, either I would dupe for them, or teach them how. Far less people on the PVP server threatened to track me down and murder me, which is the opposite of what you would of expected. Some poor bastard bought 4 special gems you needed to make the best armor in the game on ebay for nearly $600. I strung this guy along for a week before I finally robbed him and he gave me everything for some bizarre and incredible loot I promised him. That was the only time I really felt bad about robbing someone, he was able to prove he really was stupid enough to pay all that money for something in a video game, it was so pathetic that I gave him back 3 of the 4 gems and did not try to ruin his reputation.

Oh god, I just remembered something. Remember Habbo Hotel? When I was like, 13 or so, me and my friend thought up this brilliant idea. We'd create temporary accounts, offer people codes, which gave them credits, in exchange for objects, furniture and stuff. They were fake codes, and the objects were promptly traded to our actual account, and never signed on again with the scamming account. How people fell for it is beyond me, nobody ever questioned why we didn't just use the codes. I'm actually a bit embarrassed by it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Planetside yet. Where you could get Grief points. Planetside was an MMO-FPS set in the future with three factions and all that horseshit. Anyway if you killed, damaged, shot or hurt your teammates, their vehicles or their engineer toys (turrets, sensors) you got grief points. When you got enough grief points you couldn't use vehicles, get a few more, you can't use your weapons, that sort of thing. However, comma, pause for effect there was one sure fire way to kill a platoon size element of your own team without getting points. You see if you were the owner of a vehicle you could lock it, preventing others from getting into just the trunk if you were using it to transport ammo or you could toggle it from trunk, passenger, driver slot positions too. If someone was in this slot it would kick them out. Now this game had water too and a lot of it was too deep even for the powered armor types to turn on run mode and get through without drowning. So one day after being frustrated at my team loosing and having racked up enough grief points thanks to assholes standing in front of my tank every time I popped out of cover to fire before going back, that I couldn't get in any other vehicle I logged off and rolled a new character named Tossuindrink, got him up two or three ranks and had him train flying vehicles. Grabbed the transport airplane (galaxy) and told everyone at my sides main continent to get in, flew out to the deepest body of water near a hotspot and locked the Galaxy. A full load of about 10 people and one wheeled jeep, streaked blue as they fell into the water. Then I spent the rest of the day doing this. So long story short my team pissed me off in Planetside so I loaded as many people as I could in a transport plane and made them all eject over the deepest water I could find. You can't swim in this game they all drowned and I spent all day doing it.

If there is a game, me and my buddy griefed in it. In zombie panic, we would find a corner or room to go into. One of us was a zombie and would block the door while the other stood behind. When others walked up, the zombie would play dumb. When the zombie turned around, the human ran away and hid in the room. Also, door blocking door blocking door blocking. Then of course there is spawn killing in surf maps in CS:S. I've probably made a few 13 year olds kill themselves by now. Getting kill after kill after kill while the other team tried oh so hard to leave the spawn. If one decided he wouldn't leave, one of us would go around and finish the job. Bailing out of vehicles in Battlefield to annihilate teammates with no penalty. I would get a helicopter loaded up and then start spinning it. Eventually you could pick up enough speed where if anyone jumped out, they would get clobbered by it and killed instantly. Doing backflips in fully loaded helicopters over water. I would always complete the backflip, but everyone would always bail, every time.

Anjow posted:World of Warcraft Sadly, these levels of not really griefing at all but mildly frustrating newbies who don't know what they are doing is the level most MMO's are at now. Developers do everything to make player's lives easy and ungriefable, and we're left with the odd exploit that will be fixed next patch. I desperately hope that there are one or two future MMORPG's which will be like EVE or Ultima, both popular and supporting through interesting mechanics for people who don't always want to be nice. That's not just so I can grief, but because it really does lead to more interesting interaction dynamics, as we see in the intrigue often appearing in EVE.

I used to join a random clan counterstrike source server, die as soon as possible, then conduct a text adventure in global chat. >You are in a dusty corridor. Gunfire can be heard in the east. There are exits to the north, south and east. Usually I'd be banned right away but a couple of times I had the whole server playing along.

Not really anything that incredible, but in Metal Gear Online that just came out-- you can immobilize, and piss off a good part of your team. Theres a pr0n mag item that you can lay as a trap. When an enemy comes across it, they are forced to hover around it not being able to execute any action for 20 seconds. Problem is, the pr0n mags can also trap people on your team. Spawn with the pr0n mags, plant them around the spawn, get more pr0n mags from the spawn screen menu, plant more, and then watch as your team gets slaughtered while looking at pr0n. Its really amazing to see 5-7 people stuck at the spawn unable to do anything except die. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

In WoW you could have a shaman and a priest on a high bridge with water below, the priest would mind-control the unknowing victim then the shaman would cast walk on water on him and the priest would continue to throw him off the bridge, so as soon as he hit the water he would die of falldamage. Also in CoD4 you could throw a grenade in front of your teammates quickly change teams and you would get the kills credited as kills not teamkills.

Another great bit of Eve griefingquote:The perpetrator of the heist was the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) corporation (a corporation being similar to a clan in Eve); a freelance mercenary outfit that offers their services (which usually involves corp infiltration, theft and assassination) to the highest bidder. Over a year in planning, the GHSC infilitrated their target's corp with their own members and gained their trust, as well as access to the corp hangers, with time. It all concluded in a perfectly timed climax, with a massive theft in multiple corp hangars synchronized with the in-game killing of the corporation's CEO, the primary target of the contract. This is what got me, and I'm sure many others, into the game in the first place. Few games allow this level straight-up evil

Back in the old school UO I had a fun time griefing in a particular way. You see, when you step in a gate and out the other side, certain monsters would auto-attack you the very moment you stepped out of that gate, which made the ratman archer spawn extremely lethal. This also includes dragons. Now what I would do is to set up a house somewhere, ideally on an island or some place no one knows, and set up a little area that's walled off by locked down boxes. I would then take the dragon inside and then release it from being tamed. Now one would think I would die from the dragon but you think wrong! For some reason, it would not target me or attack me in any way, or anyone else UNLESS you came in via a gate, or entered the house via the front door. So I would sit in my dragon pen, sending gates to the banks of various cities and then dispelling them on my side. And then the suckers would come. Oh yes, the suckers would come, hopping on to a strange and fantastic gate that would surely send them to a magical adventure! However this magical adventure had a brick wall in the form of a dragon, or several dragons. So the moment they came in they were getting mauled alive with no gate back to the other side. I would laugh, loot, and repeat. On a UO-related note some of my suicide gates led to the ratman fort. A place in the white wyrm dungeon that was filled with ice elementals, snow elementals, and ice demons. An area I called 'Ophidian Road' that was located on the way to Terathan Keep that was simply FULL of ophidians. And a few other places I can't recall. I remember one notable time when I was doing this on an island, and I had a whole slew of ghosts standing outside my tower, banned, when I see some dude come sailing down on a boat. He begins meteor striking my dragon, however I was quicker on the draw and re-tamed it before he could kill it. Sadly, he rezzed and gated all my victims back to town.

Pointsman posted:Another great bit of Eve griefing The best part is that when they betrayed and killed the CEO, he was in a priceless, one-of-a-kind ship. That's a pretty big gently caress you. But that's not all... they killed him with another priceless, one-of-a-kind ship. That is style.

Best griefing I was ever part of was when Disney's Toontown did its first open beta. The game was designed to be completely grief-proof, because it was targeted at little kids. Everyone's character was a disney animal, like a duck or a goofy-esque dog or a mouse or whatever. Unless you entered another player's passkey, you couldn't even understand what they were saying -- they'd just speak in speech bubbles full of animal noises ("quack quack wuack" etc.) Character names are picked from a menu. There's no way to trade items with other players. So on, so forth. Designed from the ground up so that you cannot grief other players. The basic engine of the game was reclaiming parts of Toontown from a "cog invasion" -- robots, basically. The cogs took over houses, you freed the houses, etc. Some houses were tougher than others and so forth So what we did was powergame the city zones so that all the entry-level zones so thoroughly that there were no cogs at all and people couldn't advance & the game ground to a halt. We got really good at ninja-grabbing the houses as soon as they spawned before other players could start them, etc. After a while people got really irritated with us but there was nothing they could do except follow us around making "woof woof" "quack quack" "meep meep' noises. Not the wildest or most extreme griefing ever -- no Eve shenanigans, and every MMO has had similar incidents -- but amusing to me because the game had so obviously been designed from the ground up to be completely grief-proof. A few days after we got rolling Disney shut down the beta and didn't open it up again for like a year. Calenth fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Jun 28, 2008 |
