I am embarrassed to say that after years of playing Hearthstone I did not know where Leeroy Jenkins came from until this post. I played Everquest all through high school (on dial-up modem no less) but WoW didn't come out until I was in college and I didn't have the time for those type of games anymore.
We spent so many hours preparing for raids in EQ and I would get bored and I found out that if you positioned yourself just right on the corner of a wall you could actually go inside the wall in certain cases due to a bug with the clipping.
So I would spend most of the time while we were preparing for raids trying to do that, and then if i did it I would usually get stuck in the wall and we would all have to wait for a GM to come and get me out :-)
Everquest brings back memories.
traaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!
Don't feel bad, it just means you're not old :D
I played Diablo in college, by the time WOW came out I was a young adult with plenty of time on my hands.
My roommate probably invented griefing, cause in the original Diablo you could kill any player at any time, take their loot and leave the server. We might have had some great memes if screen recording and YouTube had been a thing. Like the time my roommate accidentally equipped a battle axe to his chest instead of armor, and was stuck there dead in the game and no one could resurrect him.
