Don't really have any here yet except for finding out just how awesome other players in the game can be. Â It is almost like a never-ending best OOC moment when people continue to surprise you and are almost NOTHING like the players you grew used to expecting in some other games. Â
One of my best MMO moments is a combo IC and OOC moment.
Back in the days of Star Wars Galaxies, I remember sitting around the Mos Eisley Cantina waiting for my friends to log in. Â I was playing my character Daxter Jex, being sociable with the entertainers and passerby, when somebody I'd never met came in and sat down in full Tusken Raider gear. Â I don't know if this person is playing a character or just OOC, so I leave him be. Â After a while he starts chatting to some girl (can't think of her name offhand, she was part of an Entertainer guild I knew, but I wasn't close with her) and speaking in-character that he's a Tusken Raider. Â Then came the kicker where he offered to show her his face, which is taboo in Tusken Raider culture but the player didn't know that.
So I change my speech to whispering and say to him in-character "Dude, nice pickup line. Â But be careful, if you tried that on a native they might know you're a fraud since showing your face is taboo in Tusken Raider culture. Â It isn't common knowledge, but be careful all the same".
The kid sent me a tell OOCly "OH MAN!! Â I didn't know about that! Â I was going to RP a Tusken, but now I've messed up!"
I calmed him down and told him it wasn't a problem, then we got to talking about Star Wars in general and just being big geeks. Â I invited him to come along with my friends and I just to see if anyone could offer him some tips since he decided not to RP a Tusken after all. Â He decided to reroll a Wookiee, and we got him all set up with Wookiee clothing and a nice Bowcaster as well as a home and speeder and everything.
After that, without even realizing it at first, I'd ended up with my new partner in crime. Â We were like Han and Chewie meets Laurel and Hardy in character, and OOC we were just as inseparable. Â
Although we've never met face to face, he remains someone I consider one of my closest friends to this day.
