Even the GMs are no strangers to love
I've had my fun with rick rolling before. But Rastley and GM Khadarish took it to a new level when Rastley managed to rick roll a GM, all while getting a few gold spammers taken care of. The original screenshot of this was posted on the Customer Service forums, with various CMs and GMs sounding in. Belfaire even comes on to authenticate the conversation.I really enjoy it when the Blizzard staff interacts with the fan base like this. We've even been lucky enough to get whisked away for some special face time. I think it shows that behind the corporate face they have to put on, they're really just people too – and like a joke now and then. I wouldn't recommend doing this however, since you might catch a GM that doesn't think it's funny – but since it worked in this case, it's golden.
Check out after the break for the full screenshots. Pretty funny stuff.

Haha, I'm glad the GM played along. I'd probably get really tired of doing that job very quickly...

Yeah, the whole Rick Rolling thing was funny for like 10 minuets, the GM should have banned his account. Just one less person spamming general chat with Chuck Norris jokes, which are much more obnoxious than Gold Farmers.

Rick rolling is old news. But creative Rick Rolling like this is more than acceptable.

I was sitting in class in a computer lab and I just hear "Never gonna give you up..." coming from this asian kid's computer, I got rickrolled audio style.

I love that some of the GMs come across as genuine people and not just the mindless bots that they're sometimes attributed to. It makes the hassle of making a ticket (and I hope answering one!) that much less painful. I especially enjoy the GMs that roleplay the exchange with you; as a roleplayer myself, it just makes things more fun.
As a former GM on an UO server, I'd have probably laughed and then .kill'd the bastard. Rickroll me, will ya?

Oh, come now, Cynra.
You know the rules, and so do I.

I'm about done with the Rickroll, but that's pretty funny.
con-man Apr 28th 2008 9:05AM
Bah, I read that thread in the forum and got rickrolled myself. One of the links in there redirects to youtube :(
