guys I'm talking about very epic playermade/developermade events
or even smthing that become known outside a game, in game press, etc
an event, a mem or similar
even epic bugs/exploits

examples from other games:
Everquest:
- marathon of naked gnoms(it also spread out to other MMO)
- Fancy the bard
- killing of Kerafyrm
Ultima Online:
- rabbit-killers
- death of Lord British
WOW:
- Leroy
- Corrupted Blood incident
- Kazzak boss in Stormwind
Runescape:
- falador massacre
EVE:
- circle-of-two's citadel and betrayal of it
- battle of br5rb (300k real usd loss)
- betrayal of Band of Brothers
- fall of queen Mirial, Ubiqua Seraph leader
- jita on fire
- and many more, this game I think top1 in list of games with epic events, etc
Second Life:
- Ralph(become a mem outside of the game)
- Sonic's gold rings dupe
Rust:
- brotherhood of ***
Asheron's Call:
- shards of the Herald event
Tabula Rasa:
- closing of servers
Sims online:
- big mac protest
etc
- sex donations(wow, sphere online)



so, what we have in Elder Scrolls online?

only small things, mostly exploits and bugs:
- hireling mails/guild bank dupe
- obsidial scar raw clothing farm
- revealing CE and Zazeer
- numerous Trials exploits
- Flipping Bleakers/other outposts at midyear mayhem event, as well as BB mine
- crowns store house for 1 crown
- Writs and Banker assistant bug
- Redshell.dll incident(knowning in game press)
- naked NPCs after one of the patch

nothing global or fun - only developer's faults
may be outpost flipping was fun yes, and naked NPCs

    The Falador Massacre wasn't an event, it was a bug-turned-slaughter. :D:D:D
    This it was an bug, simply enable world pvp of the inflicted.
    Corrupted Blood incident was also an bug, this was more interesting as it behaved like an disease. Think the red under your feet in SO who can affect other players, corrupted blood spread outside the instance and ran rampant trough cities.

    Kazzak boss in Stormwind was truly epic, yes it was an exploit but an genial one.

    Leroy: insane funny but one guy don't make an event, had one run straight for the first boss in nAS pug making it an +2 fight before all was inside. it was even more fun in a way since it probably was an mistake.
    ---

    No ESO has not had any Kazzak events, but it has been some fun stuff, mostly smaller and PvP.

    Remember I was in a guild going to Cyrodil but we was only 7 or 8 and two was below level 20.
    Wanted to have some fun so low level lady dress to underwear, she danced and the low level guy played lute on an side route to an siege. I protested as it was an too obvious trap.
    All fell for it, one guy even twice, kept it up for over half an hour before we got zerged.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Of course they are. The game made by a separate division of the company, with a completely different staff/offices/location, that Bethesda released a teaser/trailer for is being held back because of ESO. ESO which is a separate company, staff, offices, and locations from Bethesda Game Studios. Tin-foil helm much?

    It's very difficult to have these kinds of instances of emergent gameplay that EVE and UO were known for when the servers are just this background thing where people are phasing in and out of the world. It has its benefits and it has its negatives. This is one of the negatives.

    Why do some people want every MMO be the same game just with a different skin?

    I think it's wrong to come onto a game's forum and try to fundamentally change it from a themepark into an emergent sandbox experience but playing devil's advocate I get the frustration as a UO/Star Wars Galaxies/EVE player. I wish people extended the courtesy to my beloved Star Wars Galaxies where people wanted to "adventure with the heroes" and the player base wanted to just "live in the Star Wars universe".

    The genre started as one thing and it's become something else entirely. People just want more emergent sandbox experiences that take advantage of the scale and social elements that are inherently part of the genre. It's really weird to watch MMOs go from living, breathing, emergent worlds where the players shape them into these static "you are the hero, go collect 10 boar asses for a +9 sword of hitting things" games.

    Personally I think TESO would've benefitted greatly from being more like Daggerfall than Skyrim but that's not the way things worked out and it's definitely too late in the game to change it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Edited by AlexanderDeLarge on July 16, 2018 1:25PM
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 7 paid expansions. 22 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the vast majority of this game.

    There was one pretty Epic event that took place on PC-EU, I'm not sure if NA did this too.

    That was a ride in memory of Terry Pratchett and it took place within days of his death, at times the numbers involved were huge. I have a different PC now but I will check my old one for the screenshots I took at the time. <3

    Chalman Keep, Cyrodiil.
    At launch, (perhaps last beta?), a epic battle happened there and was the crowning of the first emp, if I remember correctly.
    Anyone still here that was there please share the story?
    "Shoddycast" on Youtube was there and mentioned it on their stream, Tamriel Founderies was there,.
