One group I ran Sunken Temple with in WoW. This was before Cataclysm gutted the place, removing at least half of it. That also meant trash would respawn if you took too long and oh boy, did we take too long. I think we finally finished it, but it took at least two hours and that's a conservative estimate. To this day, I don't think I've been as emotionally drained by any other activity. Just an absolutely garbage group in a convoluted dungeon.

Any typical smite game.
Wat a miserable experience.

And waaaaaay back in the day when runescape had pvp everywhere. Long before they even added the wilderness.

One time when I was in high school there were these kids that started a rumors MySpace about my high school, that just posted ridiculous rumors that were obviously fake about students and teachers at the school. Everybody was talking about it. It got deleted within two weeks.

I took that as my opportunity to make a name for myself and recreated the account, and made a bunch more outlandish rumors about students and teachers, some were incredibly inflammatory. None of them were nice.

it also got deleted a couple weeks later, but everybody at school was unknowingly talking about something I had done. But I could tell nobody, for fear of being caught.

fast forward a year and a half, this is long forgotten, I get called into the principals office on a random school day. My parents are there. Im like what the fuck is going on. They ask me if anybody would have ever had access to my computer. Im like.. no? And theyre like, do you know anything about a rumor website from a year and a half ago? And Im like oh fuck.

they told me they took out a search warrant and a criminal warrant with MySpace, got my IP, and discovered it was me. A year and a half later. My parents are reading a printout of the terrible things I had written. Many of them about the principal that is sitting in front of me. My parents are looking at me like what the fuck is wrong with you.

the principal tells me that Im lucky that it took a year and a half, because if I had been caught when it happened she was going to come at me with the fullest extent of the law. But she had time to cool off, and the matter was basically settled.

I got off with nothing but a dont fuck up again. From her and the police.

so I guess nothing happened, but it was terrifying and is still an interesting story

Getting camped and ganked in WoW. The worst thing is that the playbase seems to condone that kind of behaviour, offenders can't be reported for harassment.

They have mostly fixed it nowadays. Rather than just having servers separated by PvE and PvP, you can turn on "war mode" to swap into a world with PvP enabled. You can only turn it on in SW/Org, but you can disable it anywhere.

My runescape account got hacked right before my eyes and I lost like 90% of my bank

Some guy asked me if he could borrow some of my rares (there is a lending system) because I used to wear them in the ge. Asked me if he could look at what I have and he'll choose. I had a purple,green, red, white, blue party hats, a few hween masks, black Santa, and Xmas scythe. At the time they were worth around 30b but nowadays itd be more than 200b worth i think.. So I got them all out of my bank and right after I showed him in the trade screen I got kicked out the game and couldn't log back in.

I prob fucked up somewhere and picked up something. I still don't know how it happened. I got access to my account again 3 days later and ofc all my rares were gone lol.. i threw away the laptop I was using at the time since it was prob compromised.

I met this lady in a chatroom. We spent a few hours talking about everything, it was a very positive and friendly conversation. We also exchanged pics. I mentioned to her about my wife and she wanted to talk to her. So my wife took the keyboard and introduced herself. Immediately the lady told my wife "Your husband is completely fugly." I was a bit shocked, we were having the nicest talk before this. Besides she wasn't exactly someone who could complain about appearance either.

I sold my Zune(lol) on Ebay for like $250. The buyer claimed the earphones had "ear debris" on them and wanted $75 refunded. I refused, so Ebay's resolution was that he had to send it back and he got a full refund.

He of course sent back an empty box. Being burned for $250 as a college freshman fucking blows.

About 8 years ago I decided I finally wanted to get good at digital art and start posting on DeviantArt. I thought up this grand, detailed drawing and worked on it for a month (I didn't have a job at the time, so I was genuinely putting 4-6 hours a day into this drawing for that amount of time). I finally made my account and posted it, hoping I would get flooded with adulation. The only reply I got for a couple weeks was some jerk repeatedly trolling me over nitpicks.

It stung quite a bit, but it was a good lesson learned. It takes time, patience, and repetition to build an online presence, regardless of the quality of your artwork.

Just had a flashback...
I ripped the Republican Space Rangers episode from the GTA IV disc and uploaded to youtube.
Somebody posted it on a big political forum and I got over 100k views in less than a week. The comments were filled with salty republicans.
And then it got deleted because of a Viacom Copyright claim.

Nope. I later learned that it wasn't even an action replay code, it was a specific item (created via action replay) that turned your magic power into the negatives which made the healing spell cause damage

Im sure I could think of something else if I tried (as this doesnt seem too major) but there was a brief period when my friend tried to get me into MOBAs, despite me having no interest in them. I think we started with some Bleach/Naruto mod of DOTA. I jumped in and played with him trying to coach me. Of course I sucked, and basically the whole room (plus my friend) start shitting on me publicly.

Anyway that went on for a few sessions. I really didnt like the gameplay and of course it was being made worse by the ribbing in chat I was getting. My friend was trying to help but was getting legit angry and annoyed at mistakes I made despite it being like my first DOTA game session.

Eventually I just didnt take it anymore and quit, I was so annoyed at how he treated me during that whole thing that I refused to speak to him for like a week or so. Later he tried to get me to play League or whatever and I always said fuck no.

Chicks in the Yahoo Graffiti chatroom use to always try to catfish me too. But they always outed themselves immediately. God damn was I saved by not being a sexually pent up person that leads with sexual conversation. Cause there was at least one that was a 13 year old pretending to be 16 when I was 17.

I had such a corny profile picture. It was the most fake gangster shit lol.

I actually did end up finding a girl there that I talked with for years tho. Eventually moved on and she got married. Last thing I did was post on her engagement ring picture that I was happy she found someone. Which was already years after we stopped talking daily. Still think about her, but I figured it would be disrespectful to reconnect when she's married now.

During peak Covid, a guy on this board said he was worried about his father (I think) who was extremely immune compromised. I happened to feel the same way and sympathized since I have an immune compromised family member as well and I explained how I was trying to protect them and that we will make it through this.

Dude goes off and says some BS like our situations are totally different and I shouldnt try to help in any way or say anything. Didnt even bother responding because I dont waste my time with shitposts like that. I never bothered to look at the post a second time tho so I have no idea who it was.
