What about the time when a group of players stayed in an online match in Halo 2 for as long as they could to keep the servers up for the love of the game?
I remember, in elite dangerous a dying kid in hospital was playing, no goal, he was just flying. At some point word got out to the server, and practically all the server followed him, had a bit of chat and overall just had a chilled time. I was part of that swarm of ships :)
Actuall, with the right ship setup, it would only take about 80~100 hours, depending on the use of Neutron Star boosting, to Frameshift Jump to the star farthest from Sol. The rest of those roughly 500 hours would have been the FTL travel through the void. What made this a difficult rescue is it took several Fuel Rats working together, first to meet up at that star then, as a group, start traveling towards the stranded player stopping so some of them can transfer their reserve fuel to other players keeping enough to jump to the closest scoopable stars to refuel and start heading home while the rest continue through the void repeating the process till the last Fuel Rat of the group made it to the stranded player, transferred some fuel, and both of them jumped back to a scoopable star. All told, the rescue and return for the Fuel Rats involved took around 400 to 700 hours depending on what stage of the rescue they took part in. Still an amazing achievement.
What about the servers full of Battlefield 1 payers who stopped fighting each mid-game on November 11th, 2018? It marked the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1. I think it was a beautiful concept and an honourable homage to the historic event that no-one is within living memory of anymore.
I participated in that on Verdun Heights. I was playing on an eastern seaboard server so everyone had the same time zone. At exactly 11 o clock we met in the middle of the map. It made me bawl. Just to think a community came together to commemorate the 11 million souls that were extinguished 100 years ago. One of many reasons why I play games is because of the people you meet and play with.
One of the most incredible stories out there IMO is the Ocarina of Time speedrunning comunities efforts in mapping out the ENTIRE GAME - for a blind person. And they got him through it.
@@ShinePaw101 it's a story from 2010, kotaku has an article on it and there's a video on yt. I think Runnerguy has been involved in something similar, but couldn't find anything about it.
I was once part of a Guild called "Raiders of Doom" (or RoD for short), we were a raiding guild with over 50 members, it was fun. It was the first, and only, time I ever played with other people (I'm a solo player), and we ended up working really well together. We were pretty much like family, we knew more about each other than what people IRL did. Unfortunately our Guild leader died in a car crash, and we all had a mini funeral for him by raiding his favourite Dungeon. At about halfway through, the Vice Guild Leader started crying (he was the Leaders best friend IRL), and by the time we got to the boss room, everyone was crying in the voice chat. Legit the most I had cried in my whole life, even thinking about it now makes me sad. After the raid was over, the Vice Guild Leader said that he didn't feel right being the new Guild Leader and he couldn't bare to be in the Guild anymore, so someone else took the role after he left the Guild. And I swear, for as long as I live, I will forever Dispise him. The new Guild Leader decided to inviting all of these random people to join the guild and ended up destroying it. It became such a toxic environment, so everyone else decided to leave and make a new Guild called "Traxesul's Raiders", which we named after the our Guild leader who died (Traxesul). It was great until one of use committed suicide, we never found out why, but we did the same thing that we did with Traxesul, only a few people cried because he always kept to himself so we didn't know much about him. After that happened, we all decided to go our separate ways. Not a day goes by that I don't miss them. Rest In Peace, Traxesul. We all loved you like a brother. You will always be missed.
I know this is a 5 months late reply but this story really touched me. I’ve always wanted to be a part of such friendship today truly feels like family, kind reminds me of fairy tail (an anime). I hope your guild leader and the other guild member who suicided are resting in peace. Even though the story didn’t end in a happy way, I guess the memory of it is sufficient that you were once a part of real family even tho none of you ever saw each other in real life
i apologise too for late reply, this got me emotional. what game did you play together, if it's okay with you, i would love to honor you brothers in some way?
@@thesnipersmith3436 That's so nice of you, however, I can't remember the game anymore. It was so long ago, but I do remember that a few years after we disbanded, the game shut down. I think it was something about the game not having enough players to continue going. Thanks for trying anyway, I'm so happy to see that people actually care about our story, not a lot of people do these days.
While I don't agree with their actions, according to the TOS and the way the game was set up, Serenity Now didn't do anything wrong. Morally wrong, maybe, but not against any rules. It was a PvP server, killing other player characters is not only allowed it's expected and rewarded. The group of people paying their respects were all Horde, and Serenity Now was an Alliance guild. There was no ban because no rules were broken.
@@richard3365 You say that like Blizzard could not punish them anyways. One of the things you sign is basically "you do what we say period" if it truly comes down to it
In 2013, a young girl who played MWO with her father died of cancer. She loved the game, and she loved her Jenner with lots of lasers and Streak SRMs. A large enough group of players asked the devs to honor the little girl and do a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. The devs took her loadout, made a custom skin, and sold the mech for $10 with 100% of the money donated going to charity. The community raised $122,300 and the forums had threads of people posting support for the family, poems dedicated to the 5 year old girl, stories of times players had run into her and her dad.
When Total Biscuit had died, Warframe players had gathered at the Larunda and Strata relays to pay their respects. I remember there being well over 50 instances open in these relays. Even [DE]Rebecca, the community manager and voice of the Lotus, had shown up on the PC servers dressed as the Lotus to pay respects after cancelling that week's Devstream.
last year a friend on discord passed away and four communities that all hated each other for some reason came together in a single voice call (of like 60-70 people) and all shared their best memory of him. It was pretty neat
What about that time in World of Warcraft were the corrupted blood was uncontrollable due to a bug, escaped the dungeon and started being passed from player to player, decimating people and gamers started to organize real post-apocalyptic counter measures, with medics that had the skill to clean the blood from curses and poison, blocked the entrance to the social areas to ensure containment of the virus? That was even studied by government officials to know how people would react in case of a virus outbreak.
Exactly what I was thinking of! It's an amazing story of players dealing with world problems in game, makes me wish I had been playing Wow at the time.
Yeahhhhhh!!!! that was fun!! I tried to get back to my body ASAP and pass the virus along to as many people as I could before dying for the whole day!!! never had so much fun doing something pointless. xD
When need for speed world was closing and everyone, literally every profile in the game became online in the first 12 hours. Seeing it was so cool. RIP NFS World
I've never had to call the fuel rats. But I will say this. If I could FEASIBLY become one in my Fer De Lance you best believe your ass I would. Those are some honorable players right there.
When you click on the address bar, do you usually hover over the letter ‘x” for a an uncomfortable amount of time before you realize you’re not home alone?
We have essentially created entire nations that trancend real world borders between us. I've run successful businesses with contracts and employees and held meetings and business deals with confidence and bold even cheeky charisma with people in across galaxies far far away, but I don't handle the social aspect of the weekly shop all too well. Shit stresses me out.
Many of us want to interact in real life but find those rules somewhat limiting. Online you can be whatever you want and explore things in ways that are near impossible in real life.
I was in a GTA server once where the others players were holding a funeral procession for one of their friends who was killed the prior week in Afghanistan. They drove him all the way around Los Santos. I'm about to cry.
i was on a tf2 server where a guy was dying and wanted to get all the acheivements, so we loaded a casual server, and all let him kill us an obscene amount of times, like thousands of times, then we let him cap for a few rounds while we all killed each other to try and reup our kdrs
I'll always be thankful for the fuel rats. They helped me out on a high payout cargo run to colonia. Lost control and blew out my FSD while following the highway. They made it some 20+kly remarkably fast. I paid em a bunch of opals from what I'd mined on my travels and continued on.
I was the GM of The Coven in WoW and last year I went through something incredibly traumatic. I was offline for a long time and basically neglected my guild, didn't know if I'd ever go back. A couple of SIC's knew, plus personal/close friends in the guild and out of it, and they essentially gathered around 2000 people who were on the server at an organised time (we were on Draenor att) and took a HUGE group photo to send me of people all wearing the guild tabard or, if not in the guild, they had out dog/puppy pets because those have always been my favourite in-game. The fact they took the time to organise this all just to show their support for me and show that my WoW family would always be there for me when I got back. The guild has since been disbanded due to member decline and intergame problems but I can never be thankful enough that so much effort was put into something just for me and I'm now in other guilds and stay in contact with a lot of the people who took part
It's sad looking back on WoW and other MMOs and remembering all the guilds I was in and how all of us drifted apart. It's sad to see MMORPG's going out slowly with a whimper.
when (or if, depends who you ask) star citizen comes out, they're gonna see a HUGE upsurge in popularity because they have announced they're planning on doing their thing in SC.
@@tomasarreolareyez9107 The video featured at Number 1, it's called "The Destroyed Science Wing". You can find the actual video on our channel, it's about a year old. Hope that helps!
And here I thought I was slick by having Aloi jump up rocks on the side of a cliff instead of taking the long... You spent 7 freakin years to get into a room??!?!???!?!!!?
There is nothing more persistent than a lazy gamer (someone who doesn't feel like going all the way around a mountain to get somewhere), I have tried doing something like that before, I don't know if it ever worked though. But 7 years to get into a fake room!?!?!?!?!
Back in the age of Star Wars Galaxies, I had a friend in another country who was unable to leave home due to a prolonged illness. We got to talking and they mentioned that this would be the first year they missed Easter Mass. We got to thinking and realized it would not be difficult to simulate Mass in-game. We picked a spot on Tattooine, a day before and set to work converting a guild hall into a chapel. To my knowledge, we didn't tell anyone other than a few guildmates who dropped by throughout the day. I got lost in the project as usual, so I have no idea what happened in the wider game. Near as I can tell, word-of-mouth set off what happened next. The day of, I logged in to find the place packed to the gills with about 75+ folks, (that was quite a gathering for post-NGE) all there to celebrate mass. I'm no priest, but I do know how to perform a protestant Communion, so...we whipped up some some thakatillo & bluemilk, and -between the lot of us- kitbashed an all-faiths Easter Mass in SWG, which my friend has never forgotten. XD
This is something that just happened and I never thought I'd witness it myself: I'm a member of a group of gamers on Facebook. One of our most renowned members passed away earlier this week. To honor his memory, the entire group spent today playing his favorite game: Skyrim
When Total Biscuit ended up passing away, the warframe community ended up kneeling in front of a statue in a relay (type of player hub) to pay their respects. It was honestly very cool to see that happen
On a server I often go on in Team Fortress 2 a guy who is also a regular was getting therapy sessions via the voice comms because his insurance provider refused to allow him to have a therapist for his Depression
Speaking as someone who used to be involved with one of the Powerplay factions in E:D - the Fuel Rats are the ONE player group everyone pretty much agrees NO ONE touches. You don't prey on them, you don't fight them, you don't gank them.
Something similar happened in Star Trek Online after Leonard Nimoy passed away. A LOT of players gathered on Vulcan in game, and eventually the devs made an in game statue of Spock.
I remember that. I had just gotten back to playing SWTOR at the time. Won't forget one player who dressed up as close to Princess Leia and just stood there while people were popping fireworks around her, kneeling, bowing, dancing, etc. It was quite spectacular to be honest.
A touching moment I experienced was in warframe, after the passing of the Total Biscuit every relay in game had players kneeling for almost an entire day. It was a very nice moment of unity.
That was really touching, i mean, i got to the relay like a normal day and saw all of that respect to a mostly unknown person, i've never seen the comunity like that... is there a video of that?
Every single major war in Eve online is a testimate to the ability of gamers to work with each other. I find every single one of them incredible to learn about, the espionage, logistics, and organization that goes into fighting these battles is incredible.
In Germany gamers and other internet users, blocked whole cities to demonstrate against a new law that the government forced on us. We all got together to fight. But we lost Q.Q
@@myomusic9626 Was meinst du? Tut mir leid Nachrichten haben sich mittendrin einfach aus gestellt XD Ich will gar nicht wissen, wie viele Leute auf eine Antwort von mir warten...
I remember when TotalBiscuit died, the Warframe community all payed their respects at the Larunda Relay near the Rhino statue. It was one of the most emotional things I've ever participated in. For those who don't know, TotalBiscuit was responsible for one if the largest initial boosts in playercount that Warframe had. A LOT of people found Warframe through TotalBiscuits video. The footage from that day still makes me cry.
@@magita1991 His impact on Gaming as a whole cannot be overstated. So many people found happiness through his videos. It's surreal to go back and watch his stuff knowing the voice in the video has passed away. RIP TotalBuiscuit.
I remember a time on Battlefield 4. I ran a MilSim group. (military simulation. We would play the game using actual tactics that soldiers IRL would use.) I was talking to a man who ran another MilSim unit. He mentioned one of his members had died over while he was deployed over seas. When word caught on this happened. The man I was talking to and their MilSim Unit raised over 1000$ and gave it to the man's family and they all sent letters explaining how they knew him and how great of a man he was. It was one of the greatest things I've ever heard of.
Soldat Daniels Warframe has some of the best devs of any game I've played (Digital Extremes), at least where interaction with the community is concerned.
Or when Totalbiscuit passed away and so many people were sitting in a relay paying their respects to him. It was a beautiful moment, one of those that makes me proud to be a space ninja.
You missed 2 from EvE. One was a big event that happened through the players when Stephen Hawkings died. Was something else. The second is more subtle. It can only be found when exploring. You can find an exploration site called "Space Oddity". It's a hard one to find. In it you can find a shuttle, Called Tom's Shuttle, floating with the info you can find on it says "This mysterious shuttle is slowly passing through the system, following a predetermined course from some unknown origin. Although similarities between its design and some current starships can be discerned, this vessel appears to predate those ships by many centuries. Scans indicate that the shuttle once had room for a single occupant but now lies empty, sailing onward in silent memory of the visionary pilot it once ferried." This of course was a memory of David Bowie.
It's in Highsec, I have been there. Funny thing is, my main also has the first name Tom. Yeah, EVE has so many great things, and on the other hand Hell Dawn ganked a funeral fleet captain, with a container that was meant to be places in space, in memory of a lost corpmate.
The FF online story always gets me. I play the game (didn't play at the time of the event) but man, either that event changed the community, or the community in general is just so wholesome and nice. I play the game simply for how nice everyone is to eachother.
In the year of 11 April 3303, I was stranded in the void as well. After a risky smuggling run, I took a leap of faith and tried to reach a "scoop-able star" to gather enough fuel to jump to my destination, or so I thought I was in such system. My scanning was mistaken, and I was left alone in the cold embrace of space. I remembered something, next to the first minutes of panic, I calmed myself and tried to piece together the instructions in such events. I jumped out of "super-cruse" and powered down my ship. Sitting in that silence was horrible, my ship costed a pretty penny, and self destructing with my smuggled goods in my cargo bay, it was just soul crushing to even think about a sudden death. Then it kicked me, the rumors, the talks and conversations that went around me in space and on stations. "Fuel Rats: We have fuel. You don't." That's it, I'm saved at last. I knew what to do, I called them and they indeed came for my rescue. And now, I lived the day to tell my tale. Fly safe out there Commanders o7
Bit late to the party, but when i was around 17, i was put in hospital after an accident, one of my US friends told all his steam friends in a bit of a dumb attempt to crowdfund my hospital bill (even though im in the uk and i didnt have to pay a thing). According to him, nearly 150 people donated money to him before he sent the funds to my parents. I cried because even though that many people didnt know me, they wanted to help. I donated the money to the Brittish Red Cross so it didnt go to waste, around £6000 in usd in case you were wondering. Still the coolest online friend i have.
Okay, I've been EVE online player for 10 years. I was not in the Battle of B-R5RB, but I was in the war. The battle alone involved over 7000 players, not 600. Secondly, I witnessed "The Backstab " of The Judge. This story goes back as far as 3 years prior when Circle of two was an ally to the Imperium, but betrayed and left the alliance. The Judge was second in command of the alliance. The CSM is a player liaison to the developers to address balance issues and concerns for players, of which the members are voted in by the players. The Judge was approached by high ranking diplomats of The Imperium at one of the CSM meetings in Iceland. The plan was to have The Judge defect to the Imperium and empty out all of the wallets from CO2 and then have all structures transfer ownership to the Imperium, including the Keepstar space station, of which the OP is calling it a Deathstar. The keepstar was later sold by the imperium to TEST alliance. The Judge is still a member of The Imperium. All of this took months of planning. The imperium got its revenge. :smug: And just to clarify, the CSM has 14 members, Circle of Two had 4000 members, and the Imperium over 30,000 members.
@@felixargyle1285 I think 600 ships got destroyed, mostly the really Big Boys, that's why it was so expensive, but there were definetly more than 600 players. A normal average for the biggest trade hub are 1200-1400 players in the system at the same time, and even smaller battles like the one recently, where a faction carrier died, involved over 3000 accounts. Granted, many people were multiboxing, but I am sure that at least 2000 real people fought there.
Just to clarify, in the Dove Enigma story that megaship (technically not a station, but much the same) was specifically built and named after the dying commander. It was the destination of the entire expedition also named after him. The "exploit" mentioned in the video is not entirely correct - the ability to knock stations out using Unknown Artifacts was an intended mechanic (and Meta-Alloys did correctly counter that effect) but the station needed to have a Black Market service for you to be able to sell UAs there. Not all stations have a Black Market, and Dove Enigma was not supposed to have one either, but it was put there by dev mistake. The main wow-factor (not fully explained in the video) comes from two facts. First, both UAs and MAs are not easy to get, and you need dozens and hundreds of tonns to disable/protect a station. Second, Dove Enigma is very far away from the "main" playable area, ~22,000 light years from Sol (the entire "human space" is ~250 Ly in radius). So griefers had to jump for a dozen hours to deliver their malicious cargo there, and, when the situation came to light, hundreds of commanders jumped the same distance in only a couple of days to save it.
7 had me actually crying. All of those people, from all around both the virtual world of Eorzea and the real life world, showed up to pay their respects for a fellow player, one they didn't even know. Just looking at all the people that were there just filled my heart with so many emotions. It shows that this world is more than just the negativity and selfishness some people (including me) think because the only side of the world on the news is all solely a reflection of this worlds negatives. There is brightness in this world even if circumstances make it hard to see.
Ive been reading the comments for almost an hour now and am nowhere near the bottom as gamers keeps sharing these wonderfull stories where gamers stand together for a common cause, it makes me proud as a felow gamer that these great events happened and how it we can stand in solidarity when needed for a great cause
There was also that time when everybody just rolled their warframes with all red. Forgot what it was as it already was over before I logged in the game.
Fallout 76 day long war. 6 nukes were dropped and technically a hundred people died. 60000 caps worth of repairs. I left the server when it started. But one of my friends who was in it told me about it.
There are people trying to set records into the Void and The Fuel Rats just go rescue them? Just like that?! I mean, how godly are those people to just go and get someone that broke a record? I don't know if I can get the point across you guys, this is just mindblowing for me.
@@PureThunder05 I don´t play that game, but i would still like to say ty. In a world of griefers and cheaters, guys and gals like you are a rare commodity. Keep on trucking Fuel Rats.
Just to get the facts straight, at B-R5RB, over 7600 players participated in the battle, with something like 2700 being in the system at any given time. This is dwarfed by the latest battle which happened in October of 2020, in FWST-8, which lasted 14 hours and involved 8825 players, with 6750 being in the system at the same time.
One of the other awesome things gamers came together to do was during the Corrupted Blood incident in WoW way back when. When there was essentially a bug that'd kill players and infected NPCs, everyone got together to quarantine cities and rescue people who were dying inside.
@@soldatdaniels8738 It lasted for a week. It was basically a disease debuff from a new raid, hunter's pets could carry the disease outside the raid if you dismissed them, and players used that to infect NPCs like Auctioneers and bankers.
i was too low a level to be able to actually experience it, but i remember my dad ran that raid with his guild, and when it started spreading he told me to make sure i logged out outside of towns, and stay in Desolace(where i was leveling at the time, the town didn't have a flight point if i recall, it wasn't the troll village). but yea, people were setting up quarantine zones, healers were trying to clear people of the debuff, and enemy faction hit squads would patrol and go into cities to cleanse NPCs and infected players.
Fun fact: Scientists use that incident to study how people behave in an epidemic, because the data is, for obvious reasons, easier to analyze than real world epidemics.
I wouldn't know. I stopped playing because fuck EA. I'm just mad that I spent money buying this game. (Edit) Also glad that my fuck EA attitude led me to not buy Anthem. Bullet dodged.
On May 24th of last year, John Bain (Total Biscuit) passed away, so a bunch of people gathered in a relay on Warframe to pay their respects. I don't remember all the specifics, but just the basics.
I remember when when Leonard Nimoy (Spock) passed away, Star Trek Online made two statues to honor him. Players started to gathered from every corner of the Galaxy to pay their respect.

@@iShockGamers as a hobbyist game developer, I can say that FoxhoundCSGO is right. That video contained animation, as they were flapping their arms and their legs were moving. T-Pose is basically a pose to show off every part of a player model and make it easier to animate.
@@montpc259 The original glitch wasn't arm flappy. They added a silly version of the Tpose as a april fools joke. The tpose glitch happens in many games i've experienced it myself, and in this case even if the leg animation overrode the Tpose legs it was still originally the tpose animation that caused the glitch. That's why your a hobbiest not a professional.
There was this one cancer patient, who wished to play Smash Ultimate before he passed, and almost every smash person came together, to make it possible, and it happened. Sadly he passed 3 days later. R.I.P
Emergence is SO COOL. I love it when someone makes a game that has one goal and then the community makes an entire economy, a political scene, wars, policies, treaties, I LOVE IT.
@FalconPunch827 idk what else to call it, emergent society? All I know is that it's the coolest way you can see how hard-wired social interactions have become for humans.
@@Nintendude. They are basically like the real-life "Cajun Navy" in Elite Dangerous. Their dispatch infrastructure is actually pretty similar. There are a lot more stories involving the Fuel Rats worthy of telling, so I wouldn't be surprised if they pop up again.
People don’t understand that EVE Online in game money (isk) can’t be cashed out into real money (Legally in the Terms Of Service.) The reason why they compare isk to real money is because you can buy a thing with real money to sell on the market in game to get isk. So you can really just buy ships with real money. If they catch you selling isk for real money, you get banned.
But that's not the only reason. We compare ISK to real money because we put "work" into the game. Just like we put work into our real life jobs in order to get money. So it is nice to be able to measure how much work we put into the game.
In Guild Wars 2, they turned the airplane joke into a novelty item that you can drop in the world, anyone interacting with it gets a screen filter, also while running, your character makes verbal airplane noises.
When totalbiscuit passed away last year warframe community decided to pay homage and respect by going to the first relay that you can reach and knelt in front of the main statue before they were reworked. For a lot of people totalbiscuit was the reason we got into warframe so though it was only a small gesture it continued for about 2 weeks with lots of people stopping in. Definitely brought a tear when i first saw it. It gives chills to see that
That was fun, trying to lead someone to your location and you weren't quite sure where the fuck you were either? Lol, intense with zombies moving and making noise in the distance, then your heart stops when you hear gunshots, then it's them rolling up with meds! DayZ was a broken but underrated game.
It's funny, actually there's a feature in the new Division 2 where you can just listen out for distress calls and actually go help players who are downed in DC. I'm thinking of maybe starting a clan dedicated to that sort of activity.
DayZ had an enormous 225 square kilometer map that took ages to get anywhere and with a full server you might not see anyone all day, and when you did your fucking heart would stop. The battle royale games that kept that sense of scale are the ones I like, games like fortnite and apex just seem too small and arcadey, lacking any sense of travel or stalking.
What about the time when a group of players stayed in an online match in Halo 2 for as long as they could to keep the servers up for the love of the game?
That's what we need more of
Dedication at it's finest.
@Forgotten Legacy don't worry bro master chief collection is gonna be on PC soon. We shall finish the fight together!
That's amazing
Thatz awesome u brought that up cuz I was really apart of that. Halo 2 was my game for many many years I still lan line w 2 of my buddy's w that game
what about that time when thousands of Star Wars: The Old Republic players gather to honor Carrie Fisher when she passed away.
That was a touching day
Got the chills
I remember, in elite dangerous a dying kid in hospital was playing, no goal, he was just flying. At some point word got out to the server, and practically all the server followed him, had a bit of chat and overall just had a chilled time. I was part of that swarm of ships :)

You magnificent bastards. How dare you make me leak fluid like this.
Dude that's surprising that those guys literally flew through the void for like 600 hours ( 25 days ) just to get this one guy on a virtual platform.
that also means that they had to spend ANOTHER 600 hours getting them back
Actuall, with the right ship setup, it would only take about 80~100 hours, depending on the use of Neutron Star boosting, to Frameshift Jump to the star farthest from Sol. The rest of those roughly 500 hours would have been the FTL travel through the void. What made this a difficult rescue is it took several Fuel Rats working together, first to meet up at that star then, as a group, start traveling towards the stranded player stopping so some of them can transfer their reserve fuel to other players keeping enough to jump to the closest scoopable stars to refuel and start heading home while the rest continue through the void repeating the process till the last Fuel Rat of the group made it to the stranded player, transferred some fuel, and both of them jumped back to a scoopable star. All told, the rescue and return for the Fuel Rats involved took around 400 to 700 hours depending on what stage of the rescue they took part in. Still an amazing achievement.
@@otakuman8146 That deserves a gold trophy on PlayStation 4.

I was once part of a Guild called "Raiders of Doom" (or RoD for short), we were a raiding guild with over 50 members, it was fun. It was the first, and only, time I ever played with other people (I'm a solo player), and we ended up working really well together. We were pretty much like family, we knew more about each other than what people IRL did. Unfortunately our Guild leader died in a car crash, and we all had a mini funeral for him by raiding his favourite Dungeon. At about halfway through, the Vice Guild Leader started crying (he was the Leaders best friend IRL), and by the time we got to the boss room, everyone was crying in the voice chat. Legit the most I had cried in my whole life, even thinking about it now makes me sad. After the raid was over, the Vice Guild Leader said that he didn't feel right being the new Guild Leader and he couldn't bare to be in the Guild anymore, so someone else took the role after he left the Guild. And I swear, for as long as I live, I will forever Dispise him. The new Guild Leader decided to inviting all of these random people to join the guild and ended up destroying it. It became such a toxic environment, so everyone else decided to leave and make a new Guild called "Traxesul's Raiders", which we named after the our Guild leader who died (Traxesul). It was great until one of use committed suicide, we never found out why, but we did the same thing that we did with Traxesul, only a few people cried because he always kept to himself so we didn't know much about him. After that happened, we all decided to go our separate ways. Not a day goes by that I don't miss them.
Rest In Peace, Traxesul. We all loved you like a brother. You will always be missed.
I know this is a 5 months late reply but this story really touched me. I’ve always wanted to be a part of such friendship today truly feels like family, kind reminds me of fairy tail (an anime). I hope your guild leader and the other guild member who suicided are resting in peace. Even though the story didn’t end in a happy way, I guess the memory of it is sufficient that you were once a part of real family even tho none of you ever saw each other in real life
@@tatakai1286 Thanks man, that’s really kind of you to say.
i apologise too for late reply, this got me emotional. what game did you play together, if it's okay with you, i would love to honor you brothers in some way?
@@thesnipersmith3436 That's so nice of you, however, I can't remember the game anymore. It was so long ago, but I do remember that a few years after we disbanded, the game shut down. I think it was something about the game not having enough players to continue going. Thanks for trying anyway, I'm so happy to see that people actually care about our story, not a lot of people do these days.
This is family right here sometimes better than irl
That world of Warcraft one actually saw resolution, the "Serenity now" guild faced a massive ban wave hit all those who invaded the funeral.
Sounds untrue. I haven't been able to find any evidence that Serenity Now ever faced an sort of official repercussions.
While I don't agree with their actions, according to the TOS and the way the game was set up, Serenity Now didn't do anything wrong. Morally wrong, maybe, but not against any rules. It was a PvP server, killing other player characters is not only allowed it's expected and rewarded. The group of people paying their respects were all Horde, and Serenity Now was an Alliance guild. There was no ban because no rules were broken.

In 2013, a young girl who played MWO with her father died of cancer. She loved the game, and she loved her Jenner with lots of lasers and Streak SRMs. A large enough group of players asked the devs to honor the little girl and do a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. The devs took her loadout, made a custom skin, and sold the mech for $10 with 100% of the money donated going to charity. The community raised $122,300 and the forums had threads of people posting support for the family, poems dedicated to the 5 year old girl, stories of times players had run into her and her dad.

What about that time in World of Warcraft were the corrupted blood was uncontrollable due to a bug, escaped the dungeon and started being passed from player to player, decimating people and gamers started to organize real post-apocalyptic counter measures, with medics that had the skill to clean the blood from curses and poison, blocked the entrance to the social areas to ensure containment of the virus?

I'll always be thankful for the fuel rats. They helped me out on a high payout cargo run to colonia. Lost control and blew out my FSD while following the highway. They made it some 20+kly remarkably fast. I paid em a bunch of opals from what I'd mined on my travels and continued on.
I was the GM of The Coven in WoW and last year I went through something incredibly traumatic. I was offline for a long time and basically neglected my guild, didn't know if I'd ever go back. A couple of SIC's knew, plus personal/close friends in the guild and out of it, and they essentially gathered around 2000 people who were on the server at an organised time (we were on Draenor att) and took a HUGE group photo to send me of people all wearing the guild tabard or, if not in the guild, they had out dog/puppy pets because those have always been my favourite in-game. The fact they took the time to organise this all just to show their support for me and show that my WoW family would always be there for me when I got back. The guild has since been disbanded due to member decline and intergame problems but I can never be thankful enough that so much effort was put into something just for me and I'm now in other guilds and stay in contact with a lot of the people who took part
It's sad looking back on WoW and other MMOs and remembering all the guilds I was in and how all of us drifted apart. It's sad to see MMORPG's going out slowly with a whimper.

Back in the age of Star Wars Galaxies, I had a friend in another country who was unable to leave home due to a prolonged illness. We got to talking and they mentioned that this would be the first year they missed Easter Mass. We got to thinking and realized it would not be difficult to simulate Mass in-game. We picked a spot on Tattooine, a day before and set to work converting a guild hall into a chapel. To my knowledge, we didn't tell anyone other than a few guildmates who dropped by throughout the day. I got lost in the project as usual, so I have no idea what happened in the wider game. Near as I can tell, word-of-mouth set off what happened next.
The day of, I logged in to find the place packed to the gills with about 75+ folks, (that was quite a gathering for post-NGE) all there to celebrate mass. I'm no priest, but I do know how to perform a protestant Communion, so...we whipped up some some thakatillo & bluemilk, and -between the lot of us- kitbashed an all-faiths Easter Mass in SWG, which my friend has never forgotten.

I'm a member of a group of gamers on Facebook. One of our most renowned members passed away earlier this week. To honor his memory, the entire group spent today playing his favorite game: Skyrim
When Total Biscuit ended up passing away, the warframe community ended up kneeling in front of a statue in a relay (type of player hub) to pay their respects. It was honestly very cool to see that happen

You only call them if you find a leak in the fuel cells.
This has me in tears, people can really be so loving.

It was quite spectacular to be honest.

You missed 2 from EvE. One was a big event that happened through the players when Stephen Hawkings died. Was something else. The second is more subtle. It can only be found when exploring. You can find an exploration site called "Space Oddity". It's a hard one to find. In it you can find a shuttle, Called Tom's Shuttle, floating with the info you can find on it says
"This mysterious shuttle is slowly passing through the system, following a predetermined course from some unknown origin. Although similarities between its design and some current starships can be discerned, this vessel appears to predate those ships by many centuries.
Scans indicate that the shuttle once had room for a single occupant but now lies empty, sailing onward in silent memory of the visionary pilot it once ferried."
This of course was a memory of David Bowie.
I have never heard of this shuttle.

Bit late to the party, but when i was around 17, i was put in hospital after an accident, one of my US friends told all his steam friends in a bit of a dumb attempt to crowdfund my hospital bill (even though im in the uk and i didnt have to pay a thing). According to him, nearly 150 people donated money to him before he sent the funds to my parents. I cried because even though that many people didnt know me, they wanted to help. I donated the money to the Brittish Red Cross so it didnt go to waste, around £6000 in usd in case you were wondering. Still the coolest online friend i have.
Okay, I've been EVE online player for 10 years. I was not in the Battle of B-R5RB, but I was in the war. The battle alone involved over 7000 players, not 600.
Secondly, I witnessed "The Backstab " of The Judge. This story goes back as far as 3 years prior when Circle of two was an ally to the Imperium, but betrayed and left the alliance. The Judge was second in command of the alliance. The CSM is a player liaison to the developers to address balance issues and concerns for players, of which the members are voted in by the players. The Judge was approached by high ranking diplomats of The Imperium at one of the CSM meetings in Iceland. The plan was to have The Judge defect to the Imperium and empty out all of the wallets from CO2 and then have all structures transfer ownership to the Imperium, including the Keepstar space station, of which the OP is calling it a Deathstar. The keepstar was later sold by the imperium to TEST alliance. The Judge is still a member of The Imperium. All of this took months of planning. The imperium got its revenge. :smug:
And just to clarify, the CSM has 14 members, Circle of Two had 4000 members, and the Imperium over 30,000 members.
Holy, that sounds legendary
He said 600 ships not players
Angel Razo FFFFUUUU-aaahhhh
@@felixargyle1285 I think 600 ships got destroyed, mostly the really Big Boys, that's why it was so expensive, but there were definetly more than 600 players.
A normal average for the biggest trade hub are 1200-1400 players in the system at the same time, and even smaller battles like the one recently, where a faction carrier died, involved over 3000 accounts. Granted, many people were multiboxing, but I am sure that at least 2000 real people fought there.
Just to clarify, in the Dove Enigma story that megaship (technically not a station, but much the same) was specifically built and named after the dying commander. It was the destination of the entire expedition also named after him. The "exploit" mentioned in the video is not entirely correct - the ability to knock stations out using Unknown Artifacts was an intended mechanic (and Meta-Alloys did correctly counter that effect) but the station needed to have a Black Market service for you to be able to sell UAs there. Not all stations have a Black Market, and Dove Enigma was not supposed to have one either, but it was put there by dev mistake. The main wow-factor (not fully explained in the video) comes from two facts. First, both UAs and MAs are not easy to get, and you need dozens and hundreds of tonns to disable/protect a station. Second, Dove Enigma is very far away from the "main" playable area, ~22,000 light years from Sol (the entire "human space" is ~250 Ly in radius). So griefers had to jump for a dozen hours to deliver their malicious cargo there, and, when the situation came to light, hundreds of commanders jumped the same distance in only a couple of days to save it.
One of them openly cheated and admitted to it by cheating the thargoid sensors.

All of those people, from all around both the virtual world of Eorzea and the real life world, showed up to pay their respects for a fellow player, one they didn't even know. Just looking at all the people that were there just filled my heart with so many emotions. It shows that this world is more than just the negativity and selfishness some people (including me) think because the only side of the world on the news is all solely a reflection of this worlds negatives. There is brightness in this world even if circumstances make it hard to see.

One of the other awesome things gamers came together to do was during the Corrupted Blood incident in WoW way back when. When there was essentially a bug that'd kill players and infected NPCs, everyone got together to quarantine cities and rescue people who were dying inside.
I was hunting down here for this exact comment. I didn't play in the day, but my roommate did and I love hearing his stories about it.
DAMN! Another reason to love World Of Warcraft! That sounds like an interesting bug that would cause a ton of out rage. How long did it persist?
@@soldatdaniels8738 It lasted for a week. It was basically a disease debuff from a new raid, hunter's pets could carry the disease outside the raid if you dismissed them, and players used that to infect NPCs like Auctioneers and bankers.
i was too low a level to be able to actually experience it, but i remember my dad ran that raid with his guild, and when it started spreading he told me to make sure i logged out outside of towns, and stay in Desolace(where i was leveling at the time, the town didn't have a flight point if i recall, it wasn't the troll village). but yea, people were setting up quarantine zones, healers were trying to clear people of the debuff, and enemy faction hit squads would patrol and go into cities to cleanse NPCs and infected players.
Fun fact: Scientists use that incident to study how people behave in an epidemic, because the data is, for obvious reasons, easier to analyze than real world epidemics.
We got EA to change Battlefront II.
That was golden
And EA is so happy you believe that
I wouldn't know. I stopped playing because fuck EA. I'm just mad that I spent money buying this game.
(Edit) Also glad that my fuck EA attitude led me to not buy Anthem. Bullet dodged.
EA changed it, but they didn’t FIX it either.
And yet we didn't get them to change Battlefield5....
On May 24th of last year, John Bain (Total Biscuit) passed away, so a bunch of people gathered in a relay on Warframe to pay their respects. I don't remember all the specifics, but just the basics.
The way you pronounce “suffice” is quite gangsta.
🦅
I remember when when Leonard Nimoy (Spock) passed away, Star Trek Online made two statues to honor him. Players started to gathered from every corner of the Galaxy to pay their respect.
I was there when the statues were unveiled on Vulcan and Terra. Many, many people gathered that day.
Wow, there must have been nearly a dozen mourners
I remember I was there in game when the mass of people came to pay respects
I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE
there was a kid who threw a birthday party irl and nobody came so his Warcraft friends threw a virtual one for him
Red vs blue, that's was pretty amazing to me. It's a game, they were gamers..its honestly the only reason I liked and played halo.
I’m surprised Twitch plays Pokemon wasn’t mentioned.
Charlie22911 praise lord helix!
fish plays pokemon was the shit
@@someguyfromtheinternet5102 Dome will fix you all.
Players paid homage to Carrie Fisher by taking a knee in the front courtyard of Alderaan in SWTOR.
Fuuuuuuuck, I stumbled upon that not knowing what it was about.
I WAS THERE! :(
Cool.
@Mike Nunyabizness Yeah, respect........................
Luckily for them they didn't do it in the PVP instance.
This is my favorite episode you have done, I like you covering these types of stories. Maybe second favorite episode that one you did yelling “BOY”! When you covered god of war had me fu**ing laughing for days
Damn...
I was not expecting an emotional roller coaster...
Fuel rats are all really nice ppl , i hand out in their VC from time to time
What are the fuel rats?
T-Pose.
The correct phrase you're looking for is T-Pose.
Not really, tpose is different as the legs were still moving, tpose is completely stiff and does not move a muscle while going around
240+ gamers: Thumbs up yep.. One other guy waving his cane in the air "Not reall, tpose is different as the blah blah blah..."
@@iShockGamers as a hobbyist game developer, I can say that FoxhoundCSGO is right. That video contained animation, as they were flapping their arms and their legs were moving. T-Pose is basically a pose to show off every part of a player model and make it easier to animate.
@@montpc259 The original glitch wasn't arm flappy. They added a silly version of the Tpose as a april fools joke. The tpose glitch happens in many games i've experienced it myself, and in this case even if the leg animation overrode the Tpose legs it was still originally the tpose animation that caused the glitch. That's why your a hobbiest not a professional.
Doing the airplane
#7 was the best one. That was touching and emotional. Its always good when random people come together for strangers. Awesome video. ❤
Doing the airplane? You mean T-Posing?
This guy is a hired narrator right?
s a m p l e t e x t 2015
The characters made plane noises as well as having their arms out.
There was this one cancer patient, who wished to play Smash Ultimate before he passed, and almost every smash person came together, to make it possible, and it happened. Sadly he passed 3 days later. R.I.P
Thanks for the karma
RIP That Poor Guy.
Emergence is SO COOL.
I love it when someone makes a game that has one goal and then the community makes an entire economy, a political scene, wars, policies, treaties, I LOVE IT.
FalconPunch827 dayum bro, you read the manga didn’t ya?
@FalconPunch827 idk what else to call it, emergent society? All I know is that it's the coolest way you can see how hard-wired social interactions have become for humans.
What about Demon souls? when they were shutting down servers so mass amounts of people got on to make a point. they extended servers for another year
I remember the BF4 servers set up for players to get the dog tags for the compound bow... that was pretty cool
shame you didnt mention, or knew, the time when players in Verdun made a special ceasefire event on the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1.
The end of club penguin? They finally tipped the ice berg
R Franklin why did they even end it?
The thing about the "Fuel Rats" is aweosme, i love it.
It is incredible. All of this. Excellent work people! 👏👏👏 Keep it up! 👊
I swear you've talked about the fuel rats in Elite Dangerous in multiple other videos now....
Pretty sure they've talked about the funeral attack at least once before
It was in the recent "bizarre gaming stories of February 2019" I think
Yeah, I was kinda expecting them to be on the list.
Because what they do sounds really incredible.
@@Nintendude. They are basically like the real-life "Cajun Navy" in Elite Dangerous. Their dispatch infrastructure is actually pretty similar. There are a lot more stories involving the Fuel Rats worthy of telling, so I wouldn't be surprised if they pop up again.
People don’t understand that EVE Online in game money (isk) can’t be cashed out into real money (Legally in the Terms Of Service.) The reason why they compare isk to real money is because you can buy a thing with real money to sell on the market in game to get isk. So you can really just buy ships with real money. If they catch you selling isk for real money, you get banned.
But that's not the only reason. We compare ISK to real money because we put "work" into the game. Just like we put work into our real life jobs in order to get money.
So it is nice to be able to measure how much work we put into the game.
.As harsh as the world can be, we don't really hear about people coming together for others. This video made me cry; it made me happy.
Dope video Bro some great stories
It'll be nice if the articles mentioned in the video was linked in the description
On November 11th 2018 , Battlefield 1 players stopped shooting each other because the Germans signed the armistice ending ww1.
Who won?
@@thatsurvivalguycataclysmfo8146 the entante
@@thatsurvivalguycataclysmfo8146 the allies won and Germany had to accept the treaty of Versailles
Everyone playing the central powers had to send the Entente players their credit card info.
@@joshanna7507 the allies didn't exist then
In Guild Wars 2, they turned the airplane joke into a novelty item that you can drop in the world, anyone interacting with it gets a screen filter, also while running, your character makes verbal airplane noises.
When totalbiscuit passed away last year warframe community decided to pay homage and respect by going to the first relay that you can reach and knelt in front of the main statue before they were reworked. For a lot of people totalbiscuit was the reason we got into warframe so though it was only a small gesture it continued for about 2 weeks with lots of people stopping in. Definitely brought a tear when i first saw it. It gives chills to see that
DayZ used to have these groups that would respond to medical requests. They'd log in, find you and get you on your way. Pretty fun.
That was fun, trying to lead someone to your location and you weren't quite sure where the fuck you were either? Lol, intense with zombies moving and making noise in the distance, then your heart stops when you hear gunshots, then it's them rolling up with meds! DayZ was a broken but underrated game.
I miss the dayz mod days . Yes there was a lot of "just shot on sight" but there was also a lot of people who would help each other.
It's funny, actually there's a feature in the new Division 2 where you can just listen out for distress calls and actually go help players who are downed in DC. I'm thinking of maybe starting a clan dedicated to that sort of activity.
DayZ had an enormous 225 square kilometer map that took ages to get anywhere and with a full server you might not see anyone all day, and when you did your fucking heart would stop.
The battle royale games that kept that sense of scale are the ones I like, games like fortnite and apex just seem too small and arcadey, lacking any sense of travel or stalking.
This... I have no words 😶
The Warframe community came together in the relays to pay respects to Totalbiscuit when he died. Why was that not on the list?
They can't fit everything into one video,they probably didn't know about that.
I feel bad that I couldn’t participate. I was at work when I heard the news
I was at school but i got there after and still payed respects
My controller was broken during that fml
Top video falcon, thanks ::)
EVE Online player here: every year there is huge parties or just meet-ups where people can see each other in real life that is amazing
