I know it’s common wisdom to simply jettison the world chat window as soon as you log into a new MMO. It’s not healthy to have a firehose of angry, bitter, and combative people spewing crazy onto your screen without any filter.
Yet I usually leave it turned on, and this one act makes me a noble and brave soul indeed. It’s not that I want to set people straight over politics, religion, and how this game isn’t like World of Warcraft; it’s that once in a while, world chat can be pretty amusing. When people aren’t acting like cranky toddlers who missed their naptime, they can foster a fun sense of community with jokes, memes, and pun wars.
Yeah, I’m the guy who misses Barrens chat.
Assuming that you do drink from that firehose once in a while, what’s the funniest conversation that you have ever witnessed in world chat? Is there a running gag that keeps you chortling as you play?
