This thread is the shit.
I doubt it was "truly" legendary, but my friend and I when we first started out on Drachenfels, back in the day, we were both newbie as fuck but we thought we were badasses. I was like 3x, swords, tactics, and hiding (cuz you could still macro in your house all night) with 70 healing and like 50 anatomy, he was 3x, mace, tactics, hiding, with crappy heal and anatomy too, but anyway time for the point...
We discovered that putting piles of 6 gold made it look like a giant mound of gold instead of at 5 coins it was just a little stack of coins. So being, in our minds, rich as hell we figured we could stand to lose 100 gold or so in this endeavor so we took piles of 6 gold and scattered them all over the stretch of road from Brit to Vesper, overall about half the screens worth of road was covered in 6 gold piece piles of gold. Then we would hide in the middle of the piles of gold, and be talking on the phone (before the cool team speak and other shit), then some greedy person would come along and see all the gold and be like Holy Shit! but realizing it was in piles of 6 they were still greedy enough to start picking up all our gold. When they got close enough to us we both would jump out of hiding and chase them down, usually like 10 screens since we sucked and had dial-up, and get the kill and the loot, then we ran up to my crappy small house dropped the loot and did it again. Old school PK with a plan. Not legendary but still fun as fuck.
The kicker was when my friend was playing a year or two later and joined a guild, when he mentioned my character's name the GM remembered me and my friend's characters and remembered us PKing him back in the day. He said it was a cool plan and he was never as greedy after that. That made my fucking day, hearing someone remember an act we did as true newbie PK's it was the shit.
