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.
Matthew Reilly I remember that
God bless
What? The games i played were normal, shame.
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.
Ayy I remember that
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
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 :)
Naylofu! * Thats fucking Beautiful

You magnificent bastards. How dare you make me leak fluid like this.
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
the Battlefield 1 moment where all the players in a game made a truce on the anniversary of the world war one armistice.
Yeah I was gonna mention that one too, that was pretty awesome.
Agreed was hoping to see that here
LiteralShoppingKart that was fucking awesome
This absolutely melts my heart +smiles and rub a tear away+

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.
some gamers are cherished on behalf of the gaming community
@@void7206 yeah, I'm literary crying now, I really hope there will more people to donate
I am sorry if this is rude to ask but what is MWO.

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
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.
You would have to be insane to do that, I’d sell my right arm to have someone go that far to help me. Wow.
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.
What?! Wow!
Is this recorded anywhere? I want to read up on 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.
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
Drew If they did that then they don’t really hate each other. They’re just really good rivals.
Props to y’all.
thats sad, atleast you had fun with him. i hope you have a good life.

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.
I remember that event I was there at the strata relay on Ps4

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.
I would like to read more. Do you know of any related articles?
What happens when MDs play MMORPGs lmao
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.
Is there a video about this?
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
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.

We dont know how to interact in real life but we can rule the online world together
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.
Together, we can rule all!
-4 Subscribers with a hammer addiction I’m a gamer and I have no problems with real life
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.
Oh wow what a great way to be remembered.
@r h tf you talking about?
@@ZeddicusTheMage he's talking about those few parents out there that disown their child just for joining the military.
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
So GTA don't disconect you after few minutes playtime anymore?
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.

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.

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

Yeah. I kind of wish that it was a official thing in the game instead of just a fan-made thing through.
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.

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
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.
Is it in WH, Null ?
Please, as I'll dust off a scout ship for that.
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.
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.
You only call them if you find a leak in the fuel cells.

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.

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.
This has me in tears, people can really be so loving.

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.

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.
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.
When Carrie Fisher died, a lot of people went to organa palace in SWTOR to pay there respect's

Keep on trucking Fuel Rats.
Love the fuel rats
THEY ARE STEALING OUR FUEL!!!
Give me fuel,
Give me fire,
Give me that which I desire.
There was the Warframe wedding held in one of the relays with The actual Lotus overseeing the wedding vows.
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.
@@unfazedo it was the Red Text Cult or something close
Bruh, people were getting married in Halo 3 back in the day.
How?
@@agnel47 Warframe had one of the NPC's (The Lotus) with the voice actor of the game as the Officiant (Priest, Minister etc) of the wedding
Hey Gameranx, thanks for highlighting my guild's 'Do The Airplane' clip! I only just knew about it now haha! Cheers!
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.
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....
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.
Yeah but we don’t talk about Fallout 76 over here
Server don’t hold a hundred players lmao 😂
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.

The respect shown to totalbiscuit on warframe. Really just the whole gaming community
Ikr when i heard of the news i wet to a relay to pay my respect
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
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 have been saved by The Fuel Rats once.
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.
If you run out of fuel I don’t get why you wouldn’t RESTART YOUR GAME.............!
WTF CHEESENIPS LOL. R u trolling ?
If the fuel rats can go out and rescue people that broke records couldn't they just set the all time record?
@@chewmungabunga3834 That's what I was thinking.
So Kerrafyrm the Sleeper in Everquest 1 was coded to be essentially unbeatable, or so the dev's thought. How it was scripted to work was your raid party wakes him up, gets killed, and then a server wide message comes up and announces him rampaging across the lands. One time event per server and then he's gone.
The last server to awaken him was Rallos Zek, the pvp server. On the pvp server they got together a couple hundred people, and using basically swarm tactics, with dedicated corpse recovery and resurrections killed an "unkillable" encounter. The Sleeper dropped a few copper and a fuck ton of bragging rights.
Oooohooo! That's teamwork son! Imagine someone saying I defeated a (Insert hard to kill beast here) And then you say Me and over a hundred people killed Kerrafyrm The Sleeper. And the other dude does not respond.
@@soldatdaniels8738 lol... I wasn't involved, but it was cross server broadcasted. Basically early 2000s "live tweet" coverage.
I came here looking for this.
But, wasn't it that SOE actually shut the server down right before the dragon was killed? Then everything was rebooted and accomplished??
@@ROBBiESMiTTENS Yeah they assumed something was being exploited, and shut down the attempt. It's been a very long time now so I can't honestly say I remember exactly how.
The same group then got the go ahead for another attempt the next day and took him down.
In SWTOR (Star Wars the Old Republic) where there was memorials held for Carrie Fisher on Alderaan at the House of Organa
For number 7 imagine if he had a last few minute conciousness and saw that that would be touching.
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.
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.
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.
In Destiny 2, at the end of Season 9, there was an event where you basically got to donate a season-specific resource called Fractaline to the Empyrean Foundation. Most of it was generated from the previous week. That means that all the Fractaline donated stays donated, but you get more equivalent to the total amount you donated at the start of the week. In all, more than 11 billion Fractaline got donated, which gave the game devs proof that they wanted Trials of Osiris back.
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
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
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.
So just to correct you a bit on the Rats, We don't get anything, at all. We're actually told to decline any sort of recompense at least once because we're volunteering to do it. That specific refueling that you were talking about actually happened with multiple rats taking shifts and even refueling one another to be able to properly make it out there, and i'm pretty sure it happened before the neutron highway became a thing. The jump range was ~50LY max and with the Neutron highway we can jump about 250-300LY per jump. Regardless, we are a volunteer group that even takes our place on private servers such as "Distant Worlds 2". The two things that we do get is appreciation, commendations from our Mischief, and after a certain amount of first limpets that are registered to the Mischief, we get a fuel rat decal for our ships. We also, on occasion, will get seen by gankers when we're on a refueling mission, only to be shot down during that time. They really like hitting us hard ^_^.
Bastards they should leave you all alone toxic idiots
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

Two more awesome moments for EVE players. On September 11th 2012, Sean Smith, known as Vile Rat, was working as a US Foreign Service diplomat at the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya when it was attacked by terrorists. He died in the attack. EVE players organized a mass vigil by mass lighting Cynosure fields (generators that allow ships to warp to them by creating a beacon for them to target their warp jump at) so much that appeared as a massive glowing energy signature on the star charts. They also left memorials using jettisoned material cans and renaming stations and ships in his honor.
Also the more elite guilds in the game all banded together to help out new players trapped by an evil overlord in lawless space. A douchebag supreme named Scottmw15 had lured new players out to his outpost in null security space and forced them to, under penalty of taking everything they had, kill NPC pirates constantly so he could collect their bounties, verbally abuse them if they didn't follow his command, and force them to click on and write articles for his owned sites in order to generate traffic and ad revenue. A spy for the Imperium, Scooter McCabe, caught wind of this operation when Scott had insulted a beloved player and podcaster in the community and refused to apologize. They could have contact CCP (the owners of EVE Online) to step in but figured a player made response would make a stronger lasting impact. So the imperium's spy began months of work to erode confidence in scott's leadership by making him paranoid and irritable by leaking bits of his operation and harassing the group with his alternate account constantly. Finally he organized the players in secret to see the truth of Scott's lies and organize the exodus that would soon follow. Eventually Scott began acting irrational and paranoid enough to where he kicked everyone out of the corp and dissolved it stranding them all in null security and at the mercy of its inhabitants that they were woefully under equipped to fight. Finally the Imperium called every ally and enemy they could contact with news of what was going on. The group crossed speech barriers, conflict zones, alliances, and enemy territory to organize a rescue of these players and a massive coalition formed that invaded the area Scott set up his operations in and escorted a fleet of newbies to high security space where Scott couldn't easily get to them. Scott himself logged off like the coward he is and is blacklisted in the EVE community. It's just as well since he hasn't logged in since the incident.
Warframe players had a mass funeral for TotalBiscuit after his passing.
The Ceasefire at Verdun on Battlefield One to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day ending WWI.
I greatly appreciate the information, what a hell of a situation that waz.
I'm gonna comment here so I can keep tabs
Its really incredible that some people who don’t even know each other can become such good friends and do amazing things in games
Some people sometimes can only express certain emotion when they doesnt meet that people directly aka Virtually. Cause i do, that is what im thinking, give me your opinion :))
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
On November 11th 2018 , Battlefield 1 players stopped shooting each other because the Germans signed the armistice ending ww1.

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 😶
there was a kid who threw a birthday party irl and nobody came so his Warcraft friends threw a virtual one for him
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
The end of club penguin? They finally tipped the ice berg
R Franklin why did they even end it?
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.
I know I'm stating something very obvious, but I'm very glad to be part of the gaming community. I've gained so many incredible things from it and have had so many incredible memories. From first getting into modding in minecraft to completing my very first kings fall run in Destiny to discovering and playing amazing games like the Ori series and Crosscode.
The way you pronounce “suffice” is quite gangsta.

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.
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.
The Fuel Rats are awesome. They saved me once when I ran out of fuel. I Stopped paying attention to my guage and came out of a lightspeed jump to an empty tank. Googled their Discord and added me as a friend, tracked me down in about 10 minutes. So cool.
I remember the BF4 servers set up for players to get the dog tags for the compound bow... that was pretty cool
Fuel rats are all really nice ppl , i hand out in their VC from time to time

Gaming really is an expression of culture when you consider things like these can happen. It makes it hard to judge whether it's just a hobby or not really anymore. And, of course, it's always heartwarming to see that gamers are not always the weird freaks that stereotypes wants them to be (like), but there are also actual human beings that have a real (and positive) impact in the real world through a fictional one.
I loved this compilation. If I can give some feedback to you, what about doing more of these on the subject?
I was playing gta v and someone in the crew I was in had passed away so across about 5 sessions(16 players per session all 5 sessions filled with crew members) we all went on a cruise around the map in his favourite car then went to the cemetery to pay our respects and just talk about the good times we had with our friend.
That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a great memory
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
No way you missed Battlefield Armistice day cease fire
Yeah, not mentioning it or even having a place for it, is a huge disrespect; the amount of players who stopped to honour and respect the fallen and still living veterans of WW1, was amazing to see and was great to be apart of.
They shall not grow old.
@@Ashen_Night116 uhh, there are no living WW1 veterans. Last one died in 2012 at 110 years old
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.
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
