When I was in college, Diablo2 was a big name. Me and roomie used to do allnighters playing it through lan...we started to turn our speakers off when we play after campus caretaker visited while we were playing speakers loud and got a call to college headmaster who told us that the caretaker had heard something weird while visiting our part of campus and that while his school was all for sexual diversity...doing such...kinky things loud might bother other campus residents...later we showed the game to campus matriarch (as we called her) she went bit quiet and later on we both got straight A's from every class our headmaster held us.
(those whove played Diablo2 knows the sounds can be lil disturbing..."spank spank, grunt grunt")

Well I took revenge when she did some groupplay in GW that was (quote) "important and I'm healer, you can't.... oh prolly you can..."
Wasn't embarassing but pretty strange I guess...

When i got my z-board i would help new rp players in SWG. But i hit some button and the new keyboard and couldent write properly. Noone understans what i wrote. So i tryed to use "c" insread of "s" and thoses kinnda things... and atleast explain i had some keyboard problem.
They believed i was drunk and left.
MMORPG's Deffinately have their moments that require almost no brain activity. Combine that with me being tired and having a bed for a computer chair, and you get me sleeping.
I got one, sort of. It didn't happen to me but to my brother, he still laughs and cries about it to this day.
Many years ago he was a little elf bard in Everquest fighting in the throne room in Crushbone. For those of you who don't know Crushbone is a zone filled with orcs and the throne room is one of the most prized spots for experience grinding. Anyway he was fighting and I was in some other zone doing something, we were chatting idly between pulls. There was a druid in his group, obviously new to the game, and my brother was complaining to me about him. Apparently he wasn't healing or buffing properly. Then silence..... Next thing I know he is standing beside me (IRL) alternating between laughing and blushing in embarrassment furiously.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said he meant to send me a tell saying, "Sheesh this druid sucks." But he accidenlty said it in group.
Apparently the druid was brand new to the game and this was his first character.
He, my brother, never played that bard again. I still bug him about that.. what if that was some 9 year old kick raving about playing a new online game. He gets so red. hehe

A lot of us were online on the guild channel. This one guy, who was not in the guild, was grouped with us, and the other people seemed to be friends with him (from somewhere else I guessed) but I didn't know him. The guy was being a real goof ball, and started to annoy me doing stupid things (over-pulling, etc). So I started to complain about him in guild chat. Then someone sent me a tell, "Um... that's K's alt" (K being a guild member who was multi-boxing and ON CHANNEL at the time, and thus saw everything I said). I apologized of course but, well, as you can imagine K and I were never really friendly after that....

1: Falling asleep raiding on EQ with my Cleric alt. I woke up around 4am to find myself parked at a druid circle with tells in my window along the lines of "Night, night Rip Van Winkle".
2: Running across a zone to meet a new guild in EQ, i come skidding up to them all smiles only to realise seconds later i had brought half the zone with me and subsequently wiped the peeps gathering there.
3: More EQ horrors, never getting round to changing my auto attack button from A to something less dangerous. Lost count how many times i went to train or buy items, only to get killed by the defending trainer/shopkeeper.
Happy times!
Falling for the alt+f4 trick
------------------------------------
for me though..
Quadding in EQ. Always the same route... not near other players, ll is good. Get busy talking in tells to RL friend.. not notice i went wrong way on quad.. try to correct, get hit/stunned/killed. 1 minute later get summoned back to my corpse by a gm. (very confused).. apparently the gm was there to help another toon with an issue (never told me what) and the toon was naked at the time.. yea well.. GM thought i trained them..
think the best i have seen overall was from a guildie of mine i was grouping with. We had wiped and were all gathering in PoK (again EQ).. to go back and do a recovery. when suddently, in shout, guildie friend says the following lines. (was awhile ago so eqact phrasing may be off)
Shit, GM just logged into the zone.
Damn, hes moving towards the bank (we were sitting at the main bank at that time)
ok guys, going to have to turn off macroquest, i really don't want to get caught again, i'll log take my 2 toons i am botting out of the group and we can find replacments, ok?
he thought he was talking in group..... OOPS him.
1) After reinstalling Ventrilo, I forgot to set it back to push to talk, and later on got in a huge fight with the gf in the middle of a dungeon run with a guild group. Of course, no one said anything for about 5 minutes, until someone finally decided to tell me that I was broadcasting everything to everyone in the group.
2) Beyond that is just a variety of mistells that are more funny than embarrassing. Like the time I was talking with a friend in game, and forgot to hit /r to reply, and ended up sending a message to the group we were in about how "the chicks with the biggest tits always win"(Fear Factor was on the tv at the time). Everyone just kind of stopped what they were doing, and went "Huh?".
Drinking and MMO's dont mix...
I was playing Horizons one night, at the time i was harvesting ore. In Horizons you had these platform thingies that you could place down and drag around with you to use as a container for your harvested goods, you could leave them in one spot or have them "follow you" which slowed you right down. Well i had one beer too many and fell asleep while on auto run. When i woke up i was in the middle of god knows where and my platform which was detached from me at the time was somewhere else and i couldnt remember where i had been harvesting.
Thing is, I still don't know why the horn made me think that. Maybe I was having an intense dream about playing something.
Heh heh . . . the other morning my wife was trying to wake me up. I was in that half in half out state, and I vaguely remember asking her what quest she was on, and if she wanted to group.
She told me I need to stop playing these games lol
Seeing as the topic has deviated somewhat to gaming related embaressing real life moments;
I spent the best half of a year sleeping once every few nights, basically always in a rather "out of it" state, gaming all the time in it. The amount of times I made comments like those to people on the phone, including but not limited to "Yeah, well, I don't have an undead army" to my girlfriend on a topic I really don't recall. The worst, however..
Out with a bunch of friends in a park, it was a nice lazy Summer evening, some people were couples and others just friends, all of us in the 14-16 mark. I'd been playing a lot of Diablo 2, nothing but even, and as above not been sleeping much. Things went in weird ways, people were drinking, some of the couples had ended up making out under a tree, myself being one. All of a sudden however a dog ran over to us, which caused someone to shout out to us. Now, given that I was half asleep (after all, making out is hardly strenuous), I jumped up and threw my hands into the air muttering "Don't worry, I'll get it" followed shortly by "****, out of mana". In my mind, I'd been spamming Nova. In reality, I think I just looked really odd. Didn't even manage to kill the dog.
In game, however, I guess it's the usual falling asleep or sending the wrong message to the wrong person.
LMFAO
One that come in mind is when I was playing daoc a while back, Darkness falls was the big thing then and my rl friend had a lvl 50 and I didnt. So he bought me one of the glowing sword with diamond seal ohhh the big bad 2hander glowing sword HHAAHA!My girlfriend was also playing at the time so I kept bragging about my sword and I was constantly showing off with it.
me:''hey baby check out my sword'' shwing mouhaha
her:''shutup jackass
me: keep going in combat mode.
Of course I wasnt fighting with it, it was carefully place in my inventory. So we were in cornwall hunting and after my bags got fill, me and the gf decide to go sell and of course, I sold the god damn 2h glowing sword I was so proud of.
me:'' omfg I sold my sword!!! arrrgggghhh no!!!!!!! shit! oh boy mark gonna pissed off! I can't tell him...sniff sniff
her:'' haha...moron
She still laugh at me after all these years when I talk about something that include selling inventory or glowing sword. I was so scared of my friend that he would be pissed off at me that I only told him like 1 year after lol
