Stuff that amuses you in RoM

Basically, try and think of a mechanic, or quest, or something that made you laugh or giggle in RoM.

One of my favorites is when I was a knight, a whole raid of people asked me to tank the Ant Queen. Off I went, we started the fight, then a mechanic of the fight I'd seen before happened (but never realized how harsh it was).

The queen teleported me to the entrance of her lair, she then ran over and did a knock back on me and I got booted out of the instance. I walked back inside to see 35 corpses.



Another time the made me laugh was when I was doing butterfly dailies. Firstly, I should explain that I have negative agro (for those that don't know, I don't make agro while hitting things, I only have 1 point of agro because the boss see's me). So i'm walking around smacking butterflys and dumb horse boss decides to get in my face. I stand there hitting him for a while and some super enthusiastic level 48 guy see's a level 70 beating on a boss and decides he'll come over and stab its backside for lulz. One hit and the horse turns around and one shots him. Poor guy never knew what happened.

Anyone have any amusing stories to share?

theres a quest on top of xav.. map that when you accept it you have to get a pile of ropes from old magician, well i decided not to listen to him and take the ropes without his permission and *poof* he tells me something like *behave or was it did i let you touch that?* and trasforms me into a squarrel. for me that moment was hilarious and his comment was awesome, whoever made this quest probably had a funny day :)

It was a big naked blood bath, the lag was far worse back then, lasted 30 seconds. Just think back then we were sporting 12k HP 3-4k pa. Marty had the highest hp on server with 24k. It was different times, hell a different game.

I remember hearing about that! And Ebilone is right, the game was different back then.

My personal fave happened to me in Aslan valley, and has gained almost mythic proportions in TBT (it's alluded to on our new forum site lol).

I was dueling a fellow guildie and warrior outside of the Goblin mini-game for the fun of it. As most warriors know, the first one to get off the charge usually pulls ahead and wins the duel, and being w/r doesn't hurt. In any case, he got me, and while I was kneeling there with my 1 hp a random scorpion (I should mention that at this point I could already solo the goblin game) came out from under the tent and killed me with one shot. None of us in the group spoke for a minute then all of us burst out laughing, including me. Embarassing? Yes, but funny as hell.

Another random glitch I remember was in Dragonfang Ridge. If you follow the river up the valley you just might come across a glitched dwarf walking a very unusual path, he walks along the WALL and frequently flies very high into the air and back down again!

I remember briefly using an addon 'auto-buff' (or something similar) for about a week.. the determining factor of me getting rid of it was during while I was being attuned for clops. We'd just finished and wanted to take a break, so we decided to ride full throttle without stopping through all the mobs to get to Lyk.. It should of worked out like that.. except auto-buff had this nasty way of throwing you off your mount to put your shield up or whatever buff you had it set for.

So we take off, we're haulin arse through the stronghold and we had at least 30-40 clops running after our little runaway brigade.. then bam, autobuff suddenly kicked in for me, threw me off my mount to put on my shield (lol...) and I got so clobbered, I didn't want to go back to the stronghold for a very long time there after, lmao

- Another great memory that makes me laugh still, is way back when, there was a couple of hours during some server hiccup that all mobs in the game were suddenly friendly, you couldn't cast spells or do much of anything other then wander around wondering what the.. lol and some players had a glitch on their chars where they looked like they were ice skating in charge motion (think of the skill charge in slightly permanent mode lol) while leaving light trails behind them from their weapons.. it was a truly trippy night lol. I think this was around the time that RF was about to, or just had first opened up :P

I remember being in a raid to kill scion locface and right when we brought it to less than 10%, he went back to full health and put a bug where Npcs killed you.. So for a while people kept getting killed but luckily.. Icarii was a gm and the game was still new solo they fixed it.xD

My favorite was dueling next to Owenstein (or is it stien)... when the aoeing forgs were there... some innocent lowby tries to kill one and WHALLA, whomever just lost the duel incurs world debt. It was funny cause I didn't happen to be the one who lost the duel.

Another favorite of mine has got to be HoTO bugs the first time ANYONE runs through them. I remember going in on HIDE as a rogue and getting POPPED by them and being like "OK, so how did they see me?" and then, of course, ressing out. Later they just got annoying, but the first time is always funny to see someone explode.

On that same note, in HIDE through Origin and talked to a NPC expecting to get a quest or something... And along comes a HUGE BUG and hits me for 50k while I am in HIDE... that was amusing too. Because I think at the time I had like 18k HP or something. At the time I think that was the hardest hit on the server.

Lots of things amuse me in the game, but most of them are actually computer programming bugs...

I remember that, it was kind of lol :)

I also remember a time when the druid "make em friendly" skill was bugged. Someone perma greened Borrofar on Artemis and he was doing his usual patrol route and just destroying any mobs in his path. Was hilarious but nobody could get the Borro quest heh.

My favorite one was at the end of CH 2 when a known player shouted he will organize an event to celebrate the end of chapter and he will open two portals in front of Varanas Gates. One would transport you to an awesome place and one would transport you to a not so awesome face. One is to win, one is to loose. Of course, the two portals transported the noobs in the same place, in the Middle of Naga Acropolis where packs of nagas killed even geared players who happened to try the portals. I think a quarter of server died in the "event". We had quite some lulz!

I gotta say it was back when Clops/KS/IDK50/TT was end game (could've been when HoTo was... I'm not too sure now). My guildies and I were trying TT for the first time. We were in the instance for like 12 hours, finally after so many deaths, wipes, etc. We get to Snow Blake. Rush in to kill her... Queen's Bomb and wipe a few seconds later lol

I want to say this happened during that debt/dura free glitch that lasted for a couple of weeks when everyone tried instances they wouldn't try other wise. It'd be so nice if we got a debt/dura free event *hint hint wink wink* :P

Running with my current guild has provided many a memorable moment. Most recently is 6th boss in ToSH when our tank got the battle axe debuff. For those that don't know this boss skill is aimed at one player in the party. The player is suppose to run from the party, most of the time towards the door in the room, as a huge trail of fire will spawn from the boss to the player and the boss throws a battle axe at the named palyer. The fire is deadly and will kill most anyone who stands in it and wont stop until it hits the player or the player reaches the door.

Our tank misunderstood the approach we were using so when he got the battle axe he just started to run in a large circle around the entire party repeatedly and did not let the axe hit him. The entire party literally stopped and watched him run around us repeatedly with this fire trailing him. It was an incredible kiting display that ended in our group surrounded in fire and subsequently we wiped. Immediately, it reminded me of the Johnny Cash song "Burning Ring of Fire" and Tridark played the song in vent and we all busted out laughing, as it was so fitting.

Back when I played on Osha, I daily did goblin mini game in Silverfall. Being a 70m/58d I could run through it in less than 5min, and doing it over a hundred times... I could practically run goblins blindfolded. Anyway, one day, I decided to do my daily ritual of running goblins. begin it as usual (I sit down before I talk to the gate keeper goblin so that I don't transform into a goblin, as I always do), burn through the worms, then move onto the 60 goblins to slaughter.

The norm for the first 20 goblins but that's when it stops... however something absolutely strange happened to me. My character disappeared and I was now controlling the enemy goblin! I had a completely different skill bar with about 10 different skills that I have never seen on any class/temporary skill bar from missions ever! i can't remember exactly what they were, but most of them were very similar to each other (I don't know why). So, I decided to try to "control" this goblin. I began running in a direction then I would teleport back to my original location. If I didn't do anything, the goblin would run in it's normal course (as all mobs do) back and forth, stop, back... etc. Being close to a wall, I decided to try running through it. As all mobs are allowed to, I actually ran up the wall and past the collision box. Now I'm on the bottom plane of the course (just being a brownish color or something of that sort).

I thought it would revert back to normal with me coming back into control of my character... 25min later, that was not true. Annoyed that I can't complete the gob mini, I just logged off and logged back on and there I was, right infront of the tent in silverfall. That was the ONLY time that has happened to me in the entire time I played RoM. I was in disbelief when I saw that happening to me. It happened about 3 months ago, so I don't know if there was a glitch or something going on at that time.

I laugh every time I see someone "accidentally" fall off the ledge in siege in the middle of the map. I laugh even harder when I'm the one doing the falling...

I'm amused every time I press CS icon.... :D

First HOS group run, unaware that if you die, wich of course I did, you have to wait to be rez. Well, I ended up in the middle of SL, never been there and took me long time to get back in instance. :D

One of ZS runs, decided while waiting for guild to go in and check my new leveled spells. Well, instead of killing mobs, none of my spells worked and I got killed?! Then noticed that I was typing in guild chat... Hate when that happens. :)

How many times old xbar would change my gear from M to R, and after I aggro mobs and they start killing me, I could not figure out what's wrong, where sudden nerf comes from... :D

Well, I have no skillz... :D
