Over the holiday, one of the many amusing bug stories following Fallout 76 around was the tale of the girl who got godmode. Apparently, a player accidentally managed to get her character so bugged in the post-apoc hellscape that she couldn’t die, not even to nukes. When she begged customer support for relief, she got back an apparent form mail.
So maybe godmode isn’t that fun after all. I have certainly made use of it in single-player games – say, for getting through a rough patch to get on with a storyline or zipping through house construction or somesuch – but in an MMORPG? I’d probably be a goody two-shoes and turn myself in to the nearest GM, hoping not to get banned.
What would you do if you had godmode in your favorite MMO?
