Question - What is the funniest way you've told someone their MQ is showing? (1 Viewer)

[PricklyGoat723]

We've all dropped our MQ pants at one point or another, and shown the world more than we would've liked to.
Maybe its as simple as forgetting the slash and sending travelto poknowledge to your guild or even worse general.
The big nightmare is if you write your own macros or Lua, maybe you had a bug that was spamming say with eyes only information. Terrifying if its you, hilarious if its a stranger.
Since our community recognizes these commands immediately, I would like to think we might send a friendly tell letting the person know Hey, your naughty bits are in Guild.
That is my simple, but real life example, a guildie put travelto poknowledge in guild chat, and my tell to them was Hey, your naughty bits are in Guild..
Their reply was a delayed and sheepish ty.
So I've set the bar very low, if yours is funnier, then tell us about it.
Double points for screenshots! (But please censor all toon names).

When a GM told me 'Why did you campfire back to me?' After I just had auto-said 'AFK BRB and gated to PoK. UGH..
Edit: oops I forgot, this was during a fight...so I died upon autocampfire back, and then blackscreened to a nice 7 day... ha. Death and Suspend.. felt nice. Plus I was there to see the whole thing but was not quick enough to do anything about the events.

I saw a guild member type "plugin mq2cleric" into guild chat. It was early evening so a lot of people were on prepping for a raid so there was a lot of feedback / comments.

Should recommend guild members use hotkeys. Lol.

I honestly forgot how to change the default channel, how do you do this lol?

 

[Drelok]

set a chat to always chat to that one, then go to channel at bottom and switch it to group/fellowship/whatever

That's a great idea!

I've sent tells before saying, "What's the first rule in fight club? Don't openly talk about it. Check your chat"

ive been pretty lucky and had no mishaps that i know of, but i did notice a someone who had left something running in lobby before at which point i did send a /tell to check is guy out in lobby, to be met with abuse, accusations etc from said person around 30mins later. this guy was in my guild, and it was at that point i told myself i would never help out someone anymore with things like that, let them hang themselves

Someone once on my server typed shd show in the general chat channel. I was new to MQ and didnt say anything.

in a box crew on test and i dont join gen chat to specifically avoid this situation. i have seen people do commands in /say and it makes me cringe lol

 

[Rare Spawn]

You have excellent tracking skills for a WAR/CLR/SHM/SK etc etc

I've done that once myself. I typed /end in say in the guild hall one time.

I once pasted a blurb of code into general chat on EQ2 instead of the console window.

 

[ARHEverquest]

I thought I was typing in game, but typed /mac end in my raiding guild discord lol

 

[Dragonslayer]

Yesterday I typed "/dgae /mac run" to get to ew in the MQ window in order to help a guildie with the heroes of tov and got stressed when my rogue kept spamming the magus at the lobby repeatedly, as I forgot to push "visible" before issuing the command. So the rogue had SOS active and the magus ignored him. I got stressed and "/camp desktop fast" on my rogue and didn't log back in for a while.

Reminded me to be more careful about what I am doing.
So far it seems no nasty player took notice.

I dont really remember the command i sended to guildchat but 1 day after it a officer writed me saying that he searched for the command and it was from mq2 so the guild council voted and decided to remove me.

Of course there was a lot of officers etc... using mq2 farming with 6chars for tonos of hours etc but was my fault so nothing more to do hehe.

Finally i decided to use my own chat channel so i nevera had that problem again.

Was really bad because im from EU and then i decided to move from AB to Fv where i never raided again from 2022, but at least i get rich farming kronos hehe

 

[Joakhan]

A Poor soul had mimic me on two chars and requested a task from Franklin, and meltdown followed.

He LD’d a minute later, but it was rough as it just filled say right there for what felt like ages.

 

[Kingkiller71]

Wasn't me, but on my server we did have someone in PoK that left their entire group at Mckeznie just /saying something over and over again to get into an instance.
