Topic: Griefer stories.

OK let's share some here.

I've actually never played an MMO in my life, but back in the day, I used to be a big Diablo addict. I even missed work once to play Diablo.  :oops:

So sometimes I'd just get bored with leveling up, and would just do something annoying to relieve the repetition. So what I would do is go to the Battlenet chat rooms and just seek out noobs looking for some high level armor. Typically I'd be of a really high level, and I'd try to find people with very little experience with Diablo at all.

Me: Hey so any of you guys want some high level equipment to help you start?

Poor SOB: Yes, sure!

Me: Well tell you what, I'll create a server and you can fight alongside me. Whatever you find you can keep.

Poor SOB: That sounds great!!

So then we'd start a game, except I'd just jump to the end stage and then send him a town portal.

Me: OK, now enter through the portal please.

Poor SOB: Wow, I've never been here before. This looks really tough. How am I going to do any damage?

Me: Tell you what. Wait here and I'll be back with some equipment.

Now in Diablo, whenever you enter a new portion of a map, you find about 20 monsters to fight. If you don't fight them, they will follow you. So what I would do is just run around the map for ten minutes, having every Tom, Dick, and Hairy monster chase me, to the point where  I'd have about 500 monsters behind me.

Then I'd just run into Poor SOB.... and watch him get slaughtered as he'd either type profanities, or be stunned into silence.

Then I'd laugh like a sick bastard.

Sometimes:

Poor SOB: What the heck happened? All my equipment is in my corpse. I've been playing for hours just to get what I had.

Me: I have NO idea WTF it was that happened! All these monsters came out of no where. Give me a few minutes while I clear these bastards out.

Poor SOB: OK, but hurry.

Me: Done! Here, I am opening a new portal.

Poor SOB: OK. Hey this game says you turned hostile towards me. What does that mean?

Me: I think it is just a bug....

I am laughing as I recall all of this. I was about 18 at the time.

I have a few other stories from Counter-Strike, but maybe later. Share some stories!!!

I used to play hardcore mode in Diablo II and I must have made 10 different lvl 35+ characters that were pked. Man that pissed me off. I was generally pretty good at avoiding it but every now and then I wouldn't pay attention and they would get me.

I've never really griefed anyone before, though. I may have had some friendly fire "accidents" in Counter-Strike against some assholes, but other than that nothing comes to mind. When I played CoD often I used to run around with just a pistol and take people out who were playing with automatics and it would piss them off, not because I was an asshole but because I played them. That gave me more satisfaction than griefing ever would.
