Well, this topic is perfect for what I am about to show you. I imagine a few of you have already seen this, as its at least 6 years old, probably more like 8.
It' s a bunch of guys dressed up as their EQ characters and NPC' s from the game. There is an extend version of the above clip, but I cannot find it.
I' m not sure if these guys are EQ nerds, or just D & D nerds. But a few of the costumes and the guy who dresses up like an elf druid lead me to believe its supposed to be EQ I saw this, way back when I was 15 or so, playing EQ not long after it came out. Back then I made a pvp Shadowknight and used to go hunting for people in my level range. In it, unlike WoW, you could text opposing factions. I don' t think you can realise how serious people take MMO' s until you hear the things they say to you after you kill them in a game that was as hard as it was. I had people threaten bodily harm, cry, plead, beg, create such vulgar insults that I still have not heard the like today, and even pay huge sums of in game money to be left alone. Now, I must add that I was the biggest pvper out there, and had the highest number of pvp kills even 2 years after I had quit, so my encounters were most likely very out of the ordinary. I figured I would share this story, as it somewhat relates to how crazy the nerds in the video are.
