MassivelyOP’s 2024 Golden Yachties: Best MMO meme

December 31, 2024 1:00 PM

MassivelyOP’s not-so-serious end-of-the-year awards conclude today with our award for the Best MMO meme. The Golden Yachties series is our run of fauxwards, named in honor of somebody we’ve long forgotten from Old Massively who insisted that surely we make so much money that we’re typing MMO blog posts from a gold-plated yacht. (Joke’s on you; it was always silver. Gold is too heavy.)

And the winner is…

Schlag’s UO meme

MOP reader and memesmaker extraordinaire outdid himself in our comments this year; his gentle ribbing of Richard Garriott, who intimated this year that he’s still trying to buy back Ultima Online from EA, was easily the best of the set.

But props also for his “This is fine” meme when Star Citizen announced realistic fires on spaceships!
