Mine would have to be in Daoc when i zoned in and bought a ticket for a horse, only to find my character riding across the crountryside on the shoulders of a troll wielding two empty halves of coconuts and banging them together.... African swallows must have invaded mythic.

Yes.. but what is their speed?
I dont know about weird but if you have played games for a while then you know that frosty (the snowman) is a standard easter egg that shows up in games dating back to the 1990s.
Well I was WOW swimming around the southern part of the contentent and I ran across this little patch of beach. There was a crashed plane that said polar express on the side and a hut (roof on poles) and in the middle of the hut was a puddle of water, 2 coals, carrot and a stocking cap.
An so it begins

Oh this is a fun topic.
Oddest thing I can think of is in City of Heroes, when I was supposed to be rescuing innocent people from some villains, and the people looked and sounded like "5th column" mechs -- i.e. beeping, flashing robots. Their names were things like "Sally" and they acted like human victims... but they looked like robots. Very odd indeed.

Just had to post:
Guard: Halt! Who goes there?
Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot.
King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, sovereign of all England!
Guard: Who's the other one?
Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length
and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my
court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
Guard: What, ridden on a horse?
Arthur: Yes.
Guard: You're using coconuts!
Arthur: What?
Guard: You've got two empty 'alves of coconuts and you're bangin' 'em
together!
Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land.
Through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
Guard: Where'd you get the coconuts?
Arthur: (somewhat taken aback) We found them.
Guard: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
Arthur: What do you mean?
Guard: This is a temperate zone!
Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house maarten or the
plummer may seek warmer climes in winter, but these are not strangers
to our land!
Guard: Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
Arthur: Not at all! They could be carried.
Guard: (indcredulous) What, a swallow, carrying a coconut?
Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
Guard: It's not a question of where 'e grips it! It's a simple question of
weight ratios! A five-ounce bird could *not* carry a one-pound
coconut!
Arthur: (exasperated)
Well it doesn't matter! Will you go and tell your master that Arthur
from the court of Camelot is here!
(pause)
Guard: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to
beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
Arthur: Please!
Guard: (patiently) Am I right.
Arthur: I'm not interested!
( A second guard appears on the rampart. )
G2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
G1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow, maybe, but not a European swallow, that's
my point.
G2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
Arthur: (extremely exasperated) Will you ask your master if he wants to join
my court at Camelot!!
(pause)
G1: But then of course, African swallows are non-migratory.
G2: Oh yeah...
(Arthur and Patsy give up and trot away)
G1: So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
G2: Wait a minute! Supposing *two* swallows carried it together!
G1: Nooo..... They'd have to have it on a line...
G2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!
G1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
G2: Well, why not?
Ah, Monty Python is great
World of warcraft by far, its a cartoony MMO but sometimes can be extremely disturbing at times, like when going by gnolls and seeing their tents and you will see human faces in the tents as if they were made out of humans, also in the draenei starting lands with the good furbolgs you see a taurens head hanging down near the chiefitain. Also outside of SM you see a dead guy hanging from a tree.
human side of strath is very disturbing too, the fire part you see dead corpses fried to a crisp but they are in a suspended animation like one crisp corse you see with their hands against their face while kneeling protecting themselves.
WoW can be a very creepy game at times.
the most bizarre thing ive seen in a mmorpg was in Lineage2.
A high level bot was being hit by a mob 15 levels weaker than it. THe bot had obviously bugged out because it wasnt hitting the mob back.
The bot died and dropped its breast plate and gauntlets.
Ballistic!
Strangest for me was when I was beta testing EQ1. There was a boat by a dock that I decided to jump into. The boat moved but I wound up upside-down! I was walking on my head! Unfortunately everyone else saw me as normal but it was funny walking around upside-down for a while. Needless to say I reported the bug but it was fun while it lasted.
AKA - Bruxail
WoW: A lvl 60 ganking in a lvl 10-19 WSG.
Entropia Universe: Topless girls running around ( a bug )
invisible mobs in wow at like 4:30 in the morning while grinding, look like ghost we killing me
CoX, seeing a more ridiculous amount than normal of girls level 1 - 10 wearing really slutty clothing.... It creeped me out that they were so many of them, usually they're more subtle rofl
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
weirdest thing that ever happened to me is when i was playing eq1 years ago, i zoned into POK and could barely move. i thought to myself "why the hell am i encumbered?" i look at my inventory and somehow i had like 9464854746348457 PP (or some ungodly number like that)
i about fell out of my chair, i was like JACK POT!!!!11! so then i click on some to put into my bank (it took me like a half hour to get there lol) and of course i go link dead = /
when i get back the pp was gone and told my friend about it and he didn't believe me but then it happened again! this time i put a shit ton of it in the trade screen to show him but when we clicked trade, i went link dead again lol
never happened again after that, but i am convinced there was a hacker playing with my emotions or something lol weirdest thing ever.
I can't list any off the top of my head, but I know for sure that in WoW (way back before BC) there were some pretty weird ass moments. You gotta admit, the game might not be the greatest but you sure can have some odd moments in it.
Walking into a room in a building in Freeport in classic EQ1 and seeing 2 characters without clothes cybering.
Maybe not weird but kinda cool. Using levitation spell in EQ1, there was this really tall spire in the Dreadlands (i think). When you climbed to the very top you were so high above the clouds and the world looked round like you were in one of those glass balls that you shake and the snow goes everywhere.
Also zoning into the Plane of Fear the first time and seeing it rain blood, blood everywhere.
King's Row in City of Heroes.
From Beta to about 6 months ago there was a bug where tons of NPC bystanders were all gathered at a subway door near the tram. It was a spawn point for NPCs but they never went anywhere; hence the reason why there were a couple dozen at any given time huddled around the subway.
Just until recently, NCSoft fixed the issue and they placed a commerative plaque in its place stating that it was in this area that a mad scientist villian used mind control to force people to stand at this point for hours on end and then proceeded to state how some valiant heroes defeated the mind controlling freak and saved the people of King's Row.
Ingenious way of handling a bug
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
Gold sellers in wow have recently been dropping gnomes from the sky to spell out their websites, i consider that quite weird lol
Theres an image of it on wow insider i cant seem to post it here
this was a total fluke, killed the mob and it just flew up there :S
not the weirdest thing ive seen, but kinda funny memory. when kunark came out for eq1, it took them a little while to get all the sound files released. in the zone ,The Overthere, most of the animal mobs had human sound effects. so you would be beating on a big chicken or rhino and it would sound like you were hitting a human npc. so i started calling the rhinos 'jim carey's', referencing that scene from ace venture2 where he is in the rhino suit.
but yea, i guess the weirdest things ive seen in games was all the wow kiddies cybering in stupid places like the middle of the tram tunnels. one time i found some people doing it under water out in the middle of nowhere.
swg had a lot of pervs in it too. a guy used to come in the cantinas with a character that looked like the burger king guy, and walk up to all the dancers and /smell them, then say they smelled like fries. what a freak.
this was on bloodfin
