The Weekly Raid: What's Your Favorite In-Game Event?

Tis the season when every MMO runs a similar event: goofy skins, ghosts, and rhyming posts. It's Halloween, my favorite time of year for in-game events. I'm all about cobwebs and spiders and wearing bedsheets which is why I stopped cleaning my apartment on October 1st.

But there's more to in-game events then just Halloween. And on this special Tuesday we ought to reflect on some memorable in-game events (and they don't have to be organized events).

Some of my favorite memories include:

  • That time a Ragnarok Online server spawned every baddie in the center of Prontera, wiping out countless AFK shops.
  • That time the Horde banded together and raided Ironforge, killing everyone before the Alliance had a chance to organize.
  • That time players murdered Lord British in Shroud of the Avatar too).

But these are just a few of my favorite in-game event memories. What stories can you tell?

What's your favorite in-game event? Let us know in the comments below!

From Mega Man II to Ape Escape, I've been playing games for as long as I can . I've spent months killing porings in Ragnarok Online and more recently lived a second life in Eve Online. I usually play as gUMBY, gUMBLEoni, or gUMBLes in-game.
