Production Note

The ending of this episode previously featured Queen’sBohemian Rhapsody for an outtro track. This was (not incorrectly) flagged by Spotify (the parent company of Anchor.fm, where the podcast is hosted) as a copyright issue, and so the last few minutes had to be re-edited. Fortunately, the entirety of the main discussion of the episode was able to be preserved.

Podcast Topic(s)

We take a look at some of the different ways players behave badly in MMORPGs and multiplayer games. Specific examples include, but aren’t limited to: griefing in Ultima Online, griefing in Shroud of the Avatar, item-renaming “scams” in Shroud of the Avatar & third-party lot sales being reversed, the risk of allowing third-party content into a game (e.g. the radio stations in Shroud of the Avatar’s aether vibration items), and straight-up cheating/exploitation of game systems (or bugs).
