Name One Of The Coolest Things You Ever Saw In Game

Not so much something I "saw", and it actually wasn't "cool" as much as "game-changing" (literally).

I was on Ventrillo with many members of my current LS (BeyondTheLimitation) -- before I was in it, but was good friends with many people who were -- when they attempted Pandemonium Warden. This was one of the first serious attempts, and it was the one that went on for hours, and hours, and hours, ad nauseam (literally). People were passing out, getting sick and frustrated, it was brutal and was the big impetus in SE adjusting difficulty on some mobs and setting rage timers to prevent that (Absolute Virtue was a fight they had participated in as well when it was just insane, but had found various ways to win by then), and it was surely a factor in the way the game now functions.

So "easy" mode or not, it was really something to be part of or witnessing at all, especially talking to them as it was going on because it was just...brutal. Absolutely brutal. All the people who wax nostalgically about "how the game is now too easy" or "the was better when everything was harder"...these were some of the elite of the elite at the time and it drove them to quit playing because it was simply horrible game design.

Just sayin'.

The sky, it can be pretty interesting to look up, for instance some weird floaty platform things in throneroom. Devs put a lot of thought into the sky and most people I speak to have never even looked up.

Back when the game was still new I was walking through Windurst Woods and there were a bunch of Tarus lined up in front of the fountain. Almost all were in Lv.1 RSE undies! Their linkshell was something like SynchronizeTaruLS and they started putting on a show where every other one would emote together. As in, the first one would /joy, the second would /laugh, third /joy, etc., all coordinated. They even included synchronized synthing. It was amazing, and it went on for a while. I took some screenshots but don't have access to them at the moment. The game was much more populated then so they had a pretty good audience. Does anyone from Cerberus remember seeing that?
