My brother in law plays Warcraft and hadn't seen the Leeroy Jenkins video.
He loved it! After that we browsed for more Warcraft stuff, and found one titled Kazzak Kills Stormwind. My in-law said, "Hey. Stormwind is a city. I've been there."
So we clicked on it... AWESOME!

Evidently Lord Kazzak is an uber-bad-guy. Here's some (edited) info I found about him.
Levels: Kazzak is a high level outdoor raid boss and should be approached with at least 30 level 60 characters. More may be required, however be wary of taking a full 40-man raid unless you are on a PvE server (as per Kazzak?s Anti-zerg abilities below).

Curse: This curse effect of Kazzak heals Kazzak 25000 HP every time he attacks someone. Once targeted by this curse you will glow green and be extremely noticeable. Thus if you have this on you and Kazzak deal you damage, BANG, he get 2500 HP back! Please note, only Mages & Druids can remove this curse effect.

Death Healing: Whenever Kazzak kills someone; the demon lord will immediately regain 75000 HP. Currently even characters that do not have Kazzak tapped and die by his AoE will contribute to this.

SUPREME Mode / Anti-Zerg: If Kazzak is not defeated within 3-5 minutes of being tapped by a raid, or if he is engaged by more then 40 characters at once; Kazzak will go into Supreme Mode. When in Supreme Mode, Kazzak will spam his Shadow Bolt AoE so quickly that there is no hope to survive. You will know when this occurs as Kazzak will yell that "Kazzak is supreme!".


So pretty much, in a city, he's unstoppable.

WoW is the only MMO I'd consider jumping into right now.

Over 1 million people can't be wrong, right?

Then again, there is a new Star Wars MMO coming, the often rumored Star Trek MMO, and the LotR MMO.

Oh, and the Warhammer one looks pretty damn cool too.

If I was without wife and kid, I'd probably be all over WoW.

Edit: When I wasn't being pleasured by supermodels that is.

Yeah, automated scripting. Pretty much every time I think about getting back onto a UO shard I remind myself that people were using automatic scripts in pvp.

Blizzard takes legal action to shut down a large private server.

The private server never charged a dime, but has 20K accounts. I'm sure Blizzard is thinking some of those 20K will join official servers.

Sigh. I played for about 5 minutes once. Thought it was dumb and quit.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Third. Knew some dudes who were into it big time over the years.

I played a bit. Had a few level 60s, back when that was the cap.

Why does this have to be a WoW link? If it had been a Rust hacker it would have been particularly cathartic.

Fuck you, Rust hackers.

All cheaters in games are simply the worst types of people.

No more upfront fee and all old content is now free.

Isn't this what MMO games do before the company walks away from them?
