I had a guy believe that I was a girl irl because I had a female avatar. I never actually said I was a girl, but I also didn't deny it and allowed him to believe it.
He gave me a lot of gifts and a lot of in game currency before it got too heavy and I re-rolled.
My real friends always pretend they are girls when they start new games , ba-stards:P They get a lot of items , it's good way to start an mmo:P
I don't do evil stuff in games. It' just not worth it in my opinion. I might not know the other people playing the game, but they are humans too with emotions. Who knows who the person is I could gank over and over and destroy their fun. Maybe a housewife trying out computergames for the first time. Maybe some guy who beats up his family for fun. Maybe an 8 year old girl trying to discover the digital world outside "barby likes her horse"-type games. Or a rapist. Or a guy who just came home from hospital after a terrible accident and now can't move without wheelchair and wanted to distract himself from the pain. Who knows?
So making another person feel miserable just for a silly game? Or for me to vent off? Nah... if I want to get rid of any aggressions I might feel, then I play TF2 or some other first person shooter. There everyone expects you to kill other people over and over.
Back when Asheron's Call came out, there was no secure trade really and people would drop bags full of stuff to transfer to their alts (called "mules"). On my non-GM character, I could just get a feeling when someone was about to do this (they usually looked around and then ran off into some secluded forest with little to no MOBs and dropped the stuff). I'd then quickly run over, snatch it and log off. I only got caught once or twice and I remember one time the guy basically followed me through the entire game just shouting "THIEF!" at me for 2 hours.
Some people were RP'ing a wedding in WoW on a non-RP server, they were taking it very seriously, they had a priest, a groom in a suit and people like kneeling in an aisle and all sorts of shit.
So I come in and start watching and talking shit and some of them are telling me to be quiet, so right at the end I jump on this bowl pedestal in between the bride and groom while they are making their final vows and I start dancing and jumping around.
Needless to say I got flamed heavily for it, it was bizarre being this noob discovering the world and you stumble upon a wedding of all things, there was a quest-giver in there too!

That's not really "evil." That's just normal behavior for trolls. I did discover two people having cyber sex in WoW though so I stripped down to my underwear, walked in on them (they were hiding in that subway area), and said, "Can I join?" The girl ran off (probably embarassed) and the guy started hurling curses at me and calling me a "_____ block."
"A girl who played World of Warcraft died in real life and the friends she had met in the game planned an in-game funeral for her. They posted about the event on the message boards and urged people not to bust it up. I don't think I need to explain what happened; the video speaks for itself."
So this is back in the good ole days of EQ raiding. It was the Planes of Power expansion. Most of our guild was Elemental Planes flagged and we was doing Tier 2 raids to get EP flagged for probation members with our guild and our ally guild. (Nautical Twilight and Elemental Dawn). All these players just needed were PoNB. We got to Terris Thule and was waiting for the rest of the raid to come to the entrance so we can pull.
I had this bad thought in my head and I decided to say it. /occ "If anyone wants to see thier accumulated experience from this raid, type /ex."
Well as soon as I said that, our monk pulled and half of the raid logged off including 5 of the 7 officers and the Guild Leader. We wiped badly and our Raid Leader was not too happy. It was really funny because I didn't expect that. It was suppose to be a joke but I guess no one got it. But the Guild Leader enjoyed it and said don't do it again. Oh the good ole days, when will we see them again.
People used to hoard animals/monsters in houses in UO. Before they closed the line of sight hole I used to go around provoking everything in the house on each other. Got caught one time provoking a gazer on a troll in this guys keep and he chased me back to town.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Just came to think of the most "evil" thing I 've seen in an MMO: www.youtube.com/watch watch in HD "A girl who played World of Warcraft died in real life and the friends she had met in the game planned an in-game funeral for her. They posted about the event on the message boards and urged people not to bust it up. I don't think I need to explain what happened; the video speaks for itself."
I had the fun of Ninja looting a purple item from a tank in WoW when BC was the norm on a rare drop from a very hard dungeon. My toon was a hunter and my logic was hey it is a sword hunter can equip them so you better believe I will need roll on this. Then she or he or whatever had the nerve to call me out on it but not only that but also they posted a very long nasty ninja loot on me in WoW forums. I may of regretted then but now I laugh.
Ah, huntards. I love huntards.
Most evil thing I've done involved a huntard. Some dude had been camping Humar the Pridelord (only black lion in the game) for days, so he could tame him, he says. Day or so goes by, guy is still in the Barrens, whining about Humar. Next day, he's back in there, waiting on this spawn, and someone else posts in general that Humar had spawned. I run over to the tree, north of Ratchet, just in time to see the dude start his tame.
And I kill Humar. When Humar dies, he causes all the lions around the tree to aggro...and they attacked and killed the dude wanting to tame Humar.
Darn I wish you would of done that to me for I would of killed you no questions asked.

I remember when that happened, but let's be honest it was a dumb move on the friends part. In an online world where people truly don't know one another and could care less about the person behind the character, you are being stupid if you don't assume someone is going to grief anything you try to do. It's just the nature of it. Posting about it before hand just inspires people to make it their mission to ruin it. And why didn't they do it in a non PvP area anyways???
I haven't really done any evil things in MMOs but I do remember my most enjoyed time in UO. I had a lot of fun in UO as a thief, so I used to do what many people did in the early days. I'd take off my helm and put a death robe on over my sweet armor, and unwield my weapon. I'd hang out in the graveyard where many people did, and anytime someone knew came along I'd steal from them but be obvious about it. When they turned to attack me I'd pull off the rob, throw on the helmet and equip my great weapon. Then I'd destroy the person and the whole graveyard would rush in to loot every last item.

I support the cause of the terrorists. They were holding the funeral in a PvP zone, and the terrorists were trying to make a statement about PvP... that if you are going to enter a PvP zone, you can and will be attacked no questions asked.

Back in the day when you had to walk thru the gate in UO to teleport instead of clicking it I had a rune marked
to a single land tile in the middle of the ocean and my guild which was a PK Pker guild ( in other words we would go after PK guilds anytime any place) after we killed them I would say " Here let me open a gate to a healer" they would all rush thru and without the use of world/guild chat and voice prog. back then there would be anywhere from 5-25 ghost stuck on this 1 land tile and the only way for them to get off it was to ICQ/IM someone to get a boat and come search for them LOL.
After the 1st exp for UO there was another spot like that at the top of a waterfall and as a ghost there was no way off but for someone to fight there way there driders and res you there and then let you recall, GOD I MISS THOSE DAYS
Assassin's like to do it in the dark and from behind.
Gold farmers in WoW opening trade windows with me demanding water got old. So I would often make level one water and demand gold for it. They were in a hurry so they never checked after giving me money. If they wouldn't give me money I'd swear to them in mandarin, laugh a dozen times and put them on ignore.
In Shadobane I killed my guild master. I busted my ass to help build a town and run it, while trying to have fun and level at the same time, but wasn't "trusted" enough to assist in running the rest of the town, because the GM wanted to have the shops make HIM all the things specialized JUST for him. Then a more massive guild decides to siege us. We're no more than 10, they have a few dozen... so we're gonna lose, it's obvious, but me and a few others were going to go down fighting... and me being a Confessor, my ratio was quite larger in kills than deaths and we were doing pretty well with just 3-4 of us... but the GM was NO WHERE to be found. E-mail after e-mail... nothing. He FINALLY comes on after we've been under siege for a while, and a guild girl and I were talking on the phone, pissed at how much of a pansy he's been about not caring or helping... so we decide to go find him. We finally DO... and he's hiding in a remote corner of an "allied" town... not dying for his town, but hiding. So the girl and I unguild ourselves and proceed to destroy him. After that we go to the town that's sieging us, tell them that we killed the king, so to speak and that their defenses would be minimal now that we left. This was on the Fear server. So if you were a person in that guild, nothing personal. If you were the GM, I still have no qualms about ganking your chicken ass after leaving us to die.

I completelly destroyed two MMORPGs by myself. Making thousands of players quit, servers close and people being forced to leave indirectly because of my actions. And I damaged many other MMORPGs to different degrees. All unintentionally, off course.

I've booted people out of groups/raids because a better player or class came along. I usually feel bad doing it but sometimes you have one open slot and in order to get the healer in the group you need to invite his buddy. Or you just have too many damned <insert flavor of the week class here> in your group and a better class wants to join your group. Of course when I boot someone for being a complete tool I don't feel bad at all.
Eastern Karana was a popular zone to level back when EQ was king. There was an evil eye that would charm people. My brother and I were camping that area, and a group got charmed and we killed some of them. Pretty funny, but pretty immature.
a friend of mine was being a dick on eq....he was playing a female toon to try to get ppl to give him gear (way back, pre-pop era). He got carried thru a raiding guild on his high elf chick cleric, got handed a ton of the best drops they got, handed his epic, etc. He admitted to me and my wife that he was emailing naughty pics of his ex girlfriend to his guildies and telling them it was him.
I told his guild leader who let the rest of the guild know...he got left out in the cold really fast :P
Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed. Current mmo's grouping: tinder. swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.

After XX number of runs in ramparts finally the epic mace(for tankers) drops from the 2nd boss and this dumb resto druid that joined after a run or 2 rolls need after telling him several times that we were doing it only for the mace for me and won it.
I was so upset and frustrated that I kept insulting him making him leave guild also(was in my same guild) after leaving wow I found it funny but still was something bad in my opinion.
