Fake, Alliance never won a PvP event once in history 😅. (Sadly…)
Path of Exile’s global channels have had a glorious history of unhinged nonsense. A dev was even around to witness this one!
Probably what happened to the guy
Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?
what started that meme in wow?
It was only obtainable for a short period of time. It was rare and stood out. If you had one, it was something to show off. So they’d literally link it in chat to show off. It turned into a meme of people looking for any excuse to link it. Hence “did someone say…” variants with it linked. Then it went too far and wouldn’t die. Then people without the item would do it without the link. Just got stupid.
Barrens chat was wild back in the day. Can’t imagine how it is now a days with how every online game is so full of toxicity that the most common thing I do the first time I play anything now is disable chat entirely.
Cataclysm destroyed Barrens. Maybe WoW Classic has the old Barrens chat though.
It’s still alive and well in most private servers, too.
Started playing again with a duo partner and was a bit shocked at the toxicity in Trade chat. I’ve been playing the game less and less over the years, and I guess I was used to it at one point. I suppose I also just have less tolerance for bullshit than I used to.
I don’t know how it is now, but Classic was even worse at launch. Blizzard underestimated player demand for the product from the start, so a company that had already slashed their GM staff to the bone wasn’t ready for it (and players in public chat channels were aware and took full advantage).
So many games now do not even have any way to effectively communicate, which I find even worse. I found so many good friends while gaming, all impossible in those games where you end up with random people game after game with no communication.
Reminds me of some encounters I had when I used to play RuneScape.
