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.

*** 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.
You fuck cows in retrospect

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.

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.

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.
