1) The Assassination of Lord British - Ultima Online - August 8, 1997

2) LEEEEROY JENKINS! - World of Warcraft

3) The Epic Heist - EVE Online - November 2005″

4) Plague Outbreak - World of Warcraft - September 2005

5) Death of the Sleeper - EverQuest - November 15-17, 2007


Number 5 seems the most interesting, though very complex. I know little about the mechanics of the old school EQ system so Im not sure what all that iis about. But seems like a hell of an achievement.

I actually just read about the EVE heist/assination yesterday as a matter of fact.

The Lord British story was so HUGE back in the day. I remember reading about it the day after or close to it. It was an incredible event.

Very nice article. Thanks Moge.

nice, can't think of any other major stories MMO wise, maybe besides the raid on the funeral in WoW.

Personally, I thought this would be on there for sure. While Leeroy Jenkins has become a sort of Wow signature name, that raid was big time news at the time. There was even some news about this at the one year anniversary not too long ago.

I still watch it from time to time. I find it beyond funny. However, if you are unable to get past the fact that someone died then I wouldn't recommend it.

You can search for Serenity Now funeral raid. I'd suggest that you download a version as the youtube or google video won't be good enough quality to show some of the hilarious things that are said.
