The Great Scam - Eve Online
This link is really really long (over 15k word read) but WOW what a good read it is. Its basically one guys journey in the massively multiplayer Eve, where he starts out making an honest living in a corporate filled world. Eventually lies and deciet take their roots in his experiance and he pulls one of the biggest scams (to my knowledge) ever in a game. I just spent the last two hours reading it myself since its quite an addictive style that he uses, and I'm pretty awestruck with how it all goes.
But anyhow what are other scams or just screwed up things that people have done in MMO's?
I actually meant to post this in the sports and games if somone wants to move it

I'm about half way through this and so far it's a pretty good read. His writing style is rather nice.
|
that text file could use some 's ^^

*** SPOILERS ****
For anyone too lazy to finish the story, like me, it sounds like basically he scammed some people out of some fake online game money by creating multiple accounts and having conversations with himself to boost popularity, and ultimately in the end couldnt live with his treachery and ended up giving away his earnings to a random player to make up for it.

haha, I'm reading this..I think I might just end up reading all of it right now. Some of the lines so far are fucking hilarious. I can fully understand where he's coming from, from playing other games kinda like it too.
|
Yeah thats basically the jist of it but the details make it all the worth it compared to just the tidbits

Just finished reading. That's like the best scam ever. Great read, thanks Anti.
|
They take it to seriously, they need lives.
|
It was a nice read, although I feel sorry for hardhead. I think I would have given it to him. It's really interesting, because these damn mmo games can take up a large part of your life and shit..and then to be screwed out of everything you've worked for, it would just suck so bad.
|
that was hot
i can't believe i read it all
i know exactly how he feels in so many instances too...damn people who think these games are their lives and take it so seriously
|
For a lot of people, they are their lives.. I bet there's thousands of people that play evercrack with their spare time, every day, and every night. I'd probably be one of them if I wasn't such a cheap skate and unwilling to pay any money per month
|
Haha that was a great story that he wrote. Especially Thoggins who took the entire thing a little too seriously I would say.
|
so what about other crazy scams etc, there arent any?

Yeah, I don't know why he scammed hardhead. Feel sorry for the guy.
