Sorry, I missed the word 'its' out of that sentence the first time I read it and I wasnt necarsarily aiming the second paragraph at you, I just structured my post poorly.
I totally understand the multiplayer thing although I rarely get to experience it anymore, especially not in meat space as it were. I dont particularly have a defined flavour of moment in my mind either, its just that these are the things that stick in my mind and its good to here other peoples thoughts on this.
Nah man, it's cool. If you're ever in Auburn, Alabama then look up the AUCGC for a quick(and possibly memorable) experience. Or for that matter, if you play any PC games just let us know which ones as some of us will set up games from home(one buddy has his own teamspeak server). We have a tendency of playing games as a group. In fact, we had a "clan" in Battlefield 2142 that was known as OP4. Every guy in the group had a specialty on the team, and we'd always operate as a full squad, filling every role we needed. Turns out after doing this for a month, people apparently noticed. One of us came across a thread on the BF2142 official forums about how people kept hacking the game, and they claimed our group was proof of it. Gave all of us a good laugh.
You ever need backup in a team-based game, let me know. I'm actually pretty happy with doing the bitch support jobs.
Oh shoot, forgot to add another memorable moment you guys might like. Some say this is the be-all-end-all of MMO stories.
Asheron's Call came out 1999 I believe, and I had been playing it for about a year when Turbine decided they would release masks of the monsters as in-game items for Halloween. Of course they were all in the high-end area, and I was pretty low-tier, so I didn't get one until a few friends that were in a guild asked me to join. They leveled me up and handed me one of the masks for this creature called a Drudge, a cat-based thing that were spread throughout the world. They're pretty much the most common enemy in the game. So, for shits and giggles, I bought all the same armor the Drudges wear, and some white clothing to emulate their skin, and I killed enough Drudges to get one of their signature weapons, the Drudge board with nail. I equipped the weapon, the clothing, the armor, and the mask, effectively making myself look just like the enemy, then ran into the northern most city in the entire map, named Holtburg, screaming in the chat channel "I AM DRUDGE MAN, EMISSARY TO THE HUMAN RACES TO HELP IMPROVE HUMAN-DRUDGE RELATIONS AND DEFEND HOLTBURG!"
Yeah, I was a weird kid.
So I do this for a few weeks, eventually heading to other cities and claiming that I was on world tour or something, but unfortunately school was more important so I quit the game after a while. A few years go by, and one of my brothers(who had also been playing) decides to get back into it. So he rejoins, explores the new features and eventually wanders his way to a town and begins asking around. Eventually he tells somebody about what I used to do, and they respond with "Really? I remember that. We all wondered what happened to that guy." So he's getting a good laugh that a few folks remember me as he finally heads into Holtburg...then freezes when he hits the center of Holtburg's main strip. Right there in the middle of the town was a giant fifty-foot-tall golden drudge statue, holding a board with a nail. I realize that it wasn't necessarily because of what I did, but...well...it makes a guy proud to know that somewhere he's got a statue of him.
