It's a fandom too, right?
Atleast THIS is, since there is a huge warcraft fandom.
And this wank happens in it.

See, there is this massive multiplayer blah roleplaying game. Its apparently very cool, and stuff. Everyone somehow loves it. Now, see, there is some big boss in there. She's a meanie. Big dragon and all.
Americans are cool(thats what fanboys think, I am not saying americans are not, do not get me wrong), so when they do not manage to beat that boss in ages means simply that it is unbeatable.

So, omg. The evil guys on korea DID beat it. BEFORE Americans did. OMGNOES

And all hell breaks loose.

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?FN=wow-general&T=1075694&P=1

Everyone knows it. Since cool american dudes couldn't do it, the corea guys MUST BE CHEATING!!!!111one

Jekaal posts this gem of wisdom.
Yeah, I wonder how many of them were running hacks...
Prolly ALL.
Cheaters.
.

Someone els tries to be more smart.
blizz probly knows that its not legit... key elements of the death event are seemingly missing. (hence she died in the air.. possibly killed during the takeoff event.) blizzard wouldnt make such a huge deal about onyxia and then screw up the death event. just heavy speculation, however.. i want to see a movie. (seriously, every single damned attempt is recorded. even the raid groups that do 2% damage.)

if anyone finds a video, dont hesitate to link it! thats the only way we'll know if she was actually defeated


Others do similar, and more.

And so on. Random lunacy. The idiocy goes from calling coreans cheaters, to flaming each other(see, there are two factions, basically humans and orcs, and they hate each other), to flaming americans, to flaming other things, including a game called counterstrike. They did not flame E.T. though.

Yeah, maybe not the best wank. But it is atleast something, right? 38 page goodness.

I agree does the ground close? And how could it close back after this happens?Can u also fall in the hole thats on the ground? And if u can what happens do u never find your body again or what if your in Ghost mode any you fall in the hole will you never get out? And could you fall in the hole and you go to ghost mode will you still have an arrow to where your body is at or will you never find it? Also can you fall in and can't find your body so you can't ever play with your guy again?

God. Just go play outside, for Christ's sake.

Sorry. I didn't know which to use x.x I'm a sleepy german stupid person who happened to stumble over this :/ You are very right.

And really, I haven't even touched some of what the people in there wrote. Some manage to somehow get into a fight about Americans in WW2, and if Stalingrad decided the war, or Americans did. Not kidding. Somewhere around page 35.

There are actually people in Korea who want to change the spelling to "C", based on the urban legend that Japan were the ones who originally gave it the K spelling, during the Occupation, because they didn't want to come after the Koreans in (English-language) alphabetical listings of nations. They also argue that the "K" seems exotic or primitive as opposed to the elegance of "C".

(The real reason it became consistently spelt with a K, rather than spelt with whatever the writer felt like at the time, has more to do with Western linguists trying to standardise romanisations in a way that makes sense. Japan did a lot of horrible things to Korea in those days, but changing their English-language name wasn't one of them.)

Check out "Names of Korea" in Wikipedia for more, if you care.

Actually, there's a move in South Korea to change the name to "Corea," because apparently, that's what it *used* to be before the Japanese invaded. or something. Some people in S. Korea think that the Japanese changed the spelling because "C" comes before "J" in the alphabet and so they would be announced before Japan in the Olympics and such, so they changed it. Regardless, because of that, there were signs that a lot of Korean fans had during the World cup that were "Corea" and not "Korea."

Personally, I think it looks stupid, but whatever.

Not a WoW geek, but I've seen similar on the Final Fantasy XI forums. The blatant racism there is absolutely appalling. If you are from an Asian country according to the forums, you are one of three things:

1. A filthy gilseller (i.e. sells in-game cash for RL money)
2. A filthy cheating hacker

or strangely enough:

3. OMG teh awesomeest player of t3h game EVAR!

The ones who follow the third theory also have a policy of never ever grouping with American players because all Americans are "n00bs".

I bet there's a lot of overlap between the third category and anime fans that think everything that comes out of Japan is holy and good, and anything that doesn't, sucks ass, as in this wank.

I made a handy Venn diagram:

So selling in-game items for real money is looked down upon in FFXI? On Ultima Online, it's considered a respectable sideline.

Not that I'd sell in-game items like, oh, five-million gold for thirty bucks a pop on ebay back in highschool. Nope, no sirree, Bob... <.<

Scary thing? I was able to quit my part-time job because playing the game paid more. After highschool, I did burn out and got a real job, at least.

How come nobody ever makes the argument that the French and Germans owe the Russians everything because they saved them from Hitler? If America hadn't entered the war, the Soviets probably would of taken out Hitler themselves.

Oh wait, Earth logic....

Here (New Zealand) we always get, "If it wasn't for the Americans we'd all be speaking Japanese!" Of course, if it wasn't for the Americans we'd also still have some ozone layer left, but I can see how dying from skin cancer is better than not being able to speak English.

I was under the impression that it wasn't a legitimate kill, since they exploited a bug in that character. No hacks or cheats, but a known exploit that they used to get the kill, which is why Blizz isn't counting it as official like they are with the kill on the (non-bugged) American servers. If anyone's got any evidence either way, it would be nice to hear it; I fear wading through the WoW forums to find it.

I say these people are still nuts.
