The Save the children in helldivers was pretty awesome. Especially their donation on $4,311. I like how clever the donation was because it spells out "Hell" as in Helldivers. Community was just awesome.
I didn't catch that at first. As I was listening to the story I was thinking "is that it! Surely they could better?" Now it's just clever
Yeah, we spread managed democracy for the children!
@alexmartin5073
I don't think I like your attitude, ok!
Still think we should have got the mines
He should've pointed out this was like the 3rd time the devs tried to give us AT mines and every damn time the community just says f it to AT mines 😂
Back in old school Everquest there was a boss called The Sleeper. It was originally meant to be unkillable. Well an entire server came together and fought and killed it
My first thought on what should be #1 as well
Kerafyrm, I miss those days of gaming.
I remember that happening when I was a young lad and thought it would at least be a bonus mention. But I know gameranx has mentioned it in at least 1 of their other videos. That was a pretty cool event especially being a long time player of EQ.
Yeees!! Thank you! I was just going to say this.
Tbf they talk about that specific event way too much I think it’s in like 5 different gameranx videos, it’s cool that this was all never before covered stuff.
Don’t forget the other impossible thing that the helldiver community also did. We were given an order that was said to re-conquer a sector under a fixed amount of time which was supposed to make us lose but the community all banded together and literally completed the major order that we were supposed to lose
the one impossible thing that comes to mind when it comes to helldivers 2 is that the community legit stopped Sony from ruining the game. thought this would be on the list instead of the Save the Children
like when does Sony ever listen to its community
@@EonHellsSoldier you would rather have that instead of the community saving children???
Helldivers community seems like a breath of fresh air with the Save the Children occurrence
And we got a cool drawing as well. So we did get something somehow.
We just thought another AT mine delay was funny
I'll take the anti tank mines it's just a game..
@@tmacfan2132 The save the children thing led to a a lot of actual money sent to save actual children
Mines can't make children. Children can make mines.
City of Heroes went farther than just returning from the dead. The fans that are running it are publishing new, high quality, game updates to both storyline and powers. It’s really wonderful seeing a game I love continue to grow. MAJOR kudos to the folks that resurrected this great game.
I didn't know this was brought back to life
“Just under 12 months… that’s almost a year”
Thanks Jake 😂👍🏼
Having participated in some of these and being a witness to most of them, the one that surprised me the most was the Homecoming servers for City of Heroes... When NCSoft gave the license to the team, it was unprecedented - game publishers often crack down on private servers, even long after they've stopped selling and hosting the game in question. With this move, hopefully other publishers will see how happy it has made the fans of their game and will be open to allowing community hosting when the official servers reach end-of-life.
One of my personal favorite "impossible events" in gaming was the resurrection of a small Global Agenda community on an official server. Global Agenda shutdown in 2018 after Hi-Rez stopped giving it any attention and just ignored it until only a dedicated community was left, then the servers went down during a maintenance and the remaining players were informed that the server was likely unrecoverable. Despite fan effort, no private server was ever able to be spun up, even though there were a couple of attempts. One of the members of the community noticed something back in early 2022 though, a new build was pushed to Steam, even though the game store was delisted years prior. Well, that led to a notification on the Discord server and it was found that the server was accessible and all of the account data was there... It turned out that Hi-Rez had patched it together on an old server so they could have internal teams fire it up and revisit it to potentially get inspiration for a sequel - their team logged in to find around 100 players running missions on a server that had never meant to have been public. They saw that this community was happy to play it again, so they agreed to leave it up and publicly accessible for as long as the server holds out.
That might be the most wholesome, the love they had, only to log in and see a bunch of goons running around xD similar to osrs only "I DON'T REMEMBER PATCHING YOU LOT IN" 'WE INVITED OURSELVES' lol
I remember when Wrath of the Lich King for World of Warcraft dropped. When everyone got to level 80, 20 or 25 of us united and would run the old 40-person dungeons in Burning Crusade; the maps we never got to see because alone we couldn't organize 40 people in a raid before, lol. The loot was obsolete, but the visuals were amazing.
I think you mean Vanilla. BC, as far as I can remember, did not have 40 man raids.
That quest in Helldivers 2, despite us completing that mission, we still failed the major order. Was awesome to see everyone almost unanimously choose the option to save the children.
It wasn't the impossible but speaking of gamers coming together paying tribute to lance reddick was a great moment
I remember that. I even hoped onto destiny 2 after not playing it for a long time just so I could honor him.
I'm super proud of Team 0% I'm glad i was part of the team and clear levels!!! Such a big accomplishment
Truly incredible that they pulled it off! Nice work :)
For the "Foxhole" segment, love how Jake just casually skips over the bit about "BUILDING A RELIGION AROUND A CORPSE PILE" within those 48 hours 🤣
Classic ww1 ish game players I’m not joking
Waging a war so hard that it crashed a server is legit haha. Massive respect to those gamers
I’ve seen ark wars rage on for a week. 48 hours ain’t shit
@@MrAwEsOmE145770what was it like, how many players were there?
Hey don't forget the Nuclear disarmament ending in Metal Gear Solid V, done by the ps3 people
The super citizen hospital for very sick Children reads like Zoolanders school for kids who can’t read good
Hahaha. You're right!
@@keaganthedude Must have.
Been a small planet is built for ants
@@UrbanGeek206 I don't wanna hear your excuses! The stratagem has to be at least… three times bigger than this
@@keaganthedude We were just having a harmless gasoline fight
That makes it even better
i like how 3 entries involved gamers running fan servers after the publishers turned off the official servers
This is a problem I'm concerned about- I want to make multiplayer games and I'm worried about sunsetting. There's a point where you'd have to start charging to keep the lights on- what do you do then without ticking people off?
@@kenktheGD I'd say the safest bet is planning ahead to allow the community to run their own servers. If that is already part of the game design from the start, it makes it so there's no mandated shut off: if the community wants it to keep going, it'll keep going for as long as the community wants it to.
@@capmss I'm thinking something like that. I'm more interested in coop design anyway, which can be peer to peer as long as the matchmaking (which steam and the like handle anyway). But even that can get sticky because you should really have a relay system to hide people's IPs even if there's no true host. I'm thinking initially have hosted servers and use winding down technology to minimize costs, until there really is a bottom out point and release the server code via github and send matchmaking to client servers.
Cough, cough .. Nosgoth...
I Went into a Public Library Back in Like 2003-2004, & Every Computer in TheLibrary Had a Kid Sitting at it, Playing "RuneScape".
(& When I Asked One of TheKids About TheGame EveryBody Was Playing in TheLibrary...Cause I Was/Am a HardCore DiablO-1 Player&Fan, He Looked at Me Like I Had Worms Wiggling-Out My Ears.)
I Was 24/25 Years Old at TheTime, & That Kid Made Me "Feel Old" That Day.😒
i used to play on a private wow wotlk server a couple years back, dont know if u are familiar with the protests in iran back in those days or not, but there was this player who got shot in the head and died during the protests, about 6-7 thousand players from both alliance and horde got together in orgrimar paying their tributes to that person, after a minute of silence and /kneel, we all started chanting what will be translated into "we will take revenge on who killed my sister" up to the point where the server crashed and was offline for a whole day just for the community to cool off a bit, that was one of most wholesome moments i ever expierenced.
Rest in peace to your kin
Not only has City Of Heroes been supported but new content was still created for free all these years.
Dam there is a guy there that really wanted to be first comment. He even commented 3 times to make sure
Yeah, what a nerd.
Lmao 😂
For some people, being 1st isn't enough. They want the whole podium.
Damn, I missed it....
r/Autism
I loved City of Heroes and Old School RuneScape back in the day!!! Glad to see Gameranx talking about those games 🥲💯
Love these stories. Would love more of these. Your monthly Weird Gaming Stories are fantastic. Maybe you could do quarterly or monthly heartwarming stories.
I think we could all use more of this and support this idea!
Just jumped back into City of Heroes last week. Took me right back to middle school and im hooked all over again.
2:00 *"Won't someone think of the children!"*
Ive been watching Gameranx for years, even now when i don't have the free time to do so. Keep it up.
I've been an Xbox loyalist for two decades now, but the only thing that has ever made me want to buy a PlayStation 5 is Helldivers 2. Not just because it looks like a great game, but the community looks absolutely phenomenal. Communities for the most part in most games have become so toxic and viral that I don't even partake in multiplayer most of the time. I'm glad there are some gamers out there that rally around a good game and overall make the experience pleasant.
SO glad you talked about City Of Heroes. I loved it when it was originally open and I love it now with the new Server. Well worth someones time to get into it and have a good time
This is a very good list. Please make more of these!!!
I'm kinda sad that there wasn't something on here that I think is worthy on this list: the Hermitcraft Gamer's Outreach charity streams
For context, Hermitcraft is a group of people who play Minecraft together and upload videos of their gameplays, whether it be building, messing with friends, or other things. Gamer's Outreach is a nonprofit organization that delivers Go Karts equipped with gaming consoles and controllers for kids in children's hospitals to help them have fun and take their minds off things.
Organized by Hermitcraft member GoodTimesWithScar, the first charity stream occurred in October 2022 for a total of four hours, with many members of the group streaming it. The original donation goal was $25,000; it was surpassed before the charity stream even went live, and the gaming community surrounding Hermitcraft donated over $400,000 to the cause.
There was another Gamer's Outreach charity stream this year too, back in April. This time, the charity stream lasted for two days, and over $960,000 were raised. That is over a million dollars combined, all generated from the gaming community surrounding a group of people playing Minecraft together. I think it's just incredible.
@14:25 shoutout to the Tetris and gaming community who, when a woman from Australia tried to lambast the kid, absolutely came to his defense and destroyed her.
There’s also a small thing that happened in the Xbox community. The game NBA Live 06 for the Xbox 360 had an achievement where if you were in the online menu when there were 1000+ people online in the game, you would get the achievement. However, the game didn’t receive great reviews so it never reached that threshold at launch (or it did briefly). Because of this, this achievement was not unlocked for many people. It took a group effort through gaming forums and achievement hunting groups to get 1000+ to be coordinated and get online to get the achievement. I was in that push and it was so nice to see gamers coming together just to unlock one achievement lol
When I saw Helldivers 2 in the list, I thought it was gonna be about the community coming together to fight the PSN requirement.
Telling any brand you don't want it happening: will make it happen if people stand by that perspective. Brands need customers which hold all the power to make even a company like Apple listen to do as told
yea same, the PSN riot was epic af and deserves mention
Probably wasn’t that because it was all blown out of proportion by entitled PC gamers who didn’t want to do 2 minutes worth of work that was stated to be required from launch
This is clearly coming from someone who clearly doesn't own and has never played on a PC before. As someone who has both a PC and a PS5, I was against this. There's absolutely zero of a reason the make this a requirement to even play the game. Plus because of that it restricted people from playing the game due to PSN not being in their country. Don't sell this short, because you as a person who literally and clearly doesn't have all of the facts.@@FunkyChicken251
Aw...no
For the helldivers one, it was actually a single dev that donated and not arrowhead as a whole, if I remember correctly
it was the former CEO (ceo at the time) and owner of the studio, so it was basically the company that made the donation.
I still think the assassination of Lord British (the creator of Ultima Online) in game is the best. As he was supposed to be unkillable
But that didn’t require the gaming community to come together for that. It was 1 player during an event that did the assassination
@@Phattyfatfat technically, it was because there were too many people on to see him and the server crashed and they forgot to make him immortal after restarting, so on the technicality that the whole playerbase sort of accidentally caused it, I think it could be a bonus entry. Not a normal one since it wasn't intentionally working together.
Oh I love this. Payers are saving gaming from corporate greed. I know many games have been saved because of the modding community like Skyrim, GTA 5 roleplay servers (absolutely MASSIVE), and Cyberpunk 2077 which was completely saved by modders and many of them hired by CDPR. Would like to see more videos like this if possible as I have played almost all of these games you listed.
One that comes to mind is during the r/place a few years ago when the Touhou community got together to animate Bad Apple onto the canvas
The Fuel Rats guild in Elite Dangerous has also done some pretty epic saves.
👍🏼
Came on to mention this
Nintendo stoped the servers for Mario Kart Wii ages ago (probably 10 years ago, not sure), so people started to build their own servers to keep playing online, to build over 1000 of new tracks, to make their own new modes to play, to host their own tournaments and all this still in 2024!
My daily dose of gameranx
falcon covered a weird stories awhile back about 1 thing in Eve online that was remarkable a player that was terminally ill wanted to go out with a bang in Eve online so many players got together to give him one last battle .
Such an awesome video, it warms my heart to see that people can come together and do good things.
Commenting three times to be seen is wild
Love this - especially the Helldivers story. And I love Gameranx in general. The channel feels like a breath of fresh air, and the vibe is very much “all for the love of games.” Sure sometimes it’s fun to take the piss out of bad games, or bad decisions made by publishers, etc. - but it never feels gratuitous here. Thanks, Gameranx.
Nice video! You should do one with the most massive and long lasted battles in games. I remembered back in old school WoW playing Alterac Valley battleground that from what i heard it lasted 1 day... I fought for 4 hours before i quit...Ah i miss those days.
Love this channel 🎉🎉
I cant believe you didnt add Twitch plays pokemon, the first one, literally the greatest moment in gaming history ive ever experienced. Should be #1.
Oh good point. Hmm I guess we should consider a part 2! :)
I love foxhole. You feel a real sense of pride when you fighting with your army. Everyone is putting their all into it.
Another good one is the Long War mod for X-COM Enemy Unknown/Within. The devs have said they’re not entirely sure how they changed as much as they did and recommend it to players. They even worked with the people who made it to make X-COM 2 more mod friendly.
The love of video games is awesome. It's an escape into a different world by yourself of with friends/family. Love seeing these stories of gamers doing the "Fusion Ah" on everything!!
We completely agree! :)
It’s funny Eve, Helldivers 2 and foxhole all have the tight knit groups that are like “Were you there..?” I wasn’t there for Eve or Helldivers, but I was there for foxhole. Only played about 6 hours of it, but it was difficult to say the least…
Wardens Rule!
As an avid gamer of Eve Online for 19 years, with about 7 years accumulated time of being AFK for real life reasons, I got excited when you mentioned Eve. I am more than positive that I remember the ping from Imperium, since I am a member of Goonswarm Federation. There is literally no other game like Eve that I have ever played, and that is the core reason I have continued to play all these years. The capital brawl being out of boredom doesn't surprise me one bit, I will literally jump on Eve if I find out caps are being used. I have participated in three of the largest wars in Eve Online history, and my most memorable experiences were in the last war between Pandemic Alliance Please Ignore (PAPI) vs Imperium. Unfortunately, it is a game that takes incredible amounts of dedication and focus to get into, most players don't realize that the sandbox aspect is truly unique.
Other uniqueness about Eve involves the player graveyard in Molea, because we as players are incredibly community focused. As we say "it's all pixels and fairy dust," meaning we know that Eve is a game, and all players in Eve are just humans behind a PC. The graveyard contains containers that are protected by CCP from following established mechanics so they never expire. Every container has the name of a player that has passed away in real life.
When I saw Helldivers 2 on the thumbnail, I was sure you were going to talk about the PSN case. When you explained the "save the children" mission, caught me off guard and I got a little emotional. The donation part... Broke me, ngl
A game you forgot to mention is School of Dragons, I've been a part of that games Community ever since I was younger than 10 years old, I played the game all the time collected a lot of dragons, but then a company bought the game Studio and took the studios best games and left school of dragons to rot, but the community still loved the game and they booted up their own servers and download link and now it's run by the community, I know every single detail about this situation because I was there when they first announced that they were going to do this. I'm basically the guy in the chair.
Titanfall 2 DID fix their multiplayer thanks to the popularity of Northstar.
👍
The reason so many people went to go save the children is partly due to the other two landmine stratagems being known as griefing weapons. There's a number of weapons and stratagems in the game that have garnered a reputation for accidental teamkilling and many griefers would load up on things like the Sentry Turrets (particularly Rocket, Autocannon and Mortar) and the landmines and throw them deliberately in the most awkward spots possible to piss people off.
There were very few people who actually wanted the AT mines, I'm one of them and at this point we've had 3-4 chances to get them from Major Orders and I legit think Arrowhead may have to just straight up give us the mines because as a community we've failed the Major Orders twice and in the case of the Save the Children order specifically, we chose morality over equipment (which is odd because Super Earth is morally corrupt and we Helldivers are an extension of that moral corruptness).
Donating to the charity because we completed the in-game objective was wholesome as fuck though, I'll give them that.
I would love to believe that was the plan all along, but players donating on their own...
My faith in humanity lives on.
Only OGs will remember this video having Helldivers as the thumbnail first 🗿
Hopefully it won't be too long until you can do a part 2 and heading that video will be gamers restoring The Crew. :)
Mario Maker 1 & 2 has been one of the most enjoyable communities I have been part of. Clearing each other's levels, watch streamers and races. Even designed a level for a weekly race and a tournament called 'get peach or die tryin'. Fun times and hopefully with the next Nintendo console I can dive back in with MM3.
Old school runescape mentioned! Woot
One thing you forgot to mention about Helldivers is that the community, & others outside the community, rallied together to petition for Sony to go back on their announcement on forced PSN membership, in order to continue playing the game. The whole world came down on them hard, & they buckled & gave in, to not force players to make a PSN acc, in order to play.
I applaud them all. 🎉
I still think the Metal Gear Solid feat of removing all nuclear weapons was the greatest community feat
the Eve one is just typical human nature: I'm board.....hey Bill let's go blow shit up!
The French beeg yoshi of that one dude killed me😅
I never realize how early i am when watching your newest video until I see posted 10 mins ago 😂
Stuff like this makes me confident the contest in 'Ready Player One' would be solved SO much faster in real life than in the story.
Especially with the motive to stick it to the corporations.
This was awesome! I use to play Medal of Honor. The solo mission was ok, but the fan based server was the best part.
These are reason why i love the gaming community. Complete strangers coming together to achieve the impossible or to help out newer players. I remember when i first started playing gta v, i was being killed repeatedly by a high level player. I told a few people in game chat and next thing i know, the entire server i was in was attacking the 2 players that attacked me
Hd2 community: pushes Sony to go back on their choices, liberates a planet so hard the devs donated 4.311 dollars to: save the children.
City of heroes mention! Wooooooo!
AP33!
Guardianite here.
Man stuff like this makes me love the gaming community
City of Heroes was so good! I played on private servers for years. It's still up there as one of my favorite old MMOs like Guild Wars 1 or WoW in the Lich King era
Are you going to give it another go after watching the video?
Hey Falcon
Hey
Hello
@@gameranxTV wassup bro
Falcon didn't even do this video lol
I’m surprised the MGS V Nuclear Disarmament on whichever console it was didn’t make an appearance
Should we bring out a part 2?
@@gameranxTVhell yeah!
BlueScuti is a legend. Well done kid

club penguin iceberg flip
I won't forget the biggest thing I was a part of. In Destiny 2 a few years back the whole community came together to solve the puzzle of the Corridors of Time. It was something crazy with streamers getting in on it and forums going crazy. In the end it was disappointing with the reward, but it was still a fun time solving it honestly.
The thing about Heldivers new stratagem is:
We failed two other major orders to get anti tank mines amd it became meme(and we all know helldiver community loves its memes) about helldivers never reciving anti tank mines.
If we get a chance toget cooler stratagem, i think we would get it instead.
A lesser story that could have gotten an honorable mention: Destiny 2 Season of the Dawn Sundial mystery puzzle. The raid secrets teams spent I think like 1-2 months trying to crack a code for a secret room, eventually finding it as it paved the way for everyone else to reach it.
I've only known of 3 communities as pure as Helldivers. What a 💎
devided we are strong, but together we are stronger
I'm sure you've already done a video on the subject of "Heartwarming tributes" or something to that effect. The one I always think of when it comes to that is the FFXIV Miura tribute. Incredibly moving and I don't even play the game.
the reckful one broke my heart and glued it back together at the same time
I used to play City of Heroes. I never knew there were servers out there for it. That was a fun game!
I was part of the ARK raid on server 1. That was one of the highlights of my life. It doesnt even feel real.
The void cat puzzle was solved after Blizzard revealed a new clue; it says so in the article.
16:30 "... until a couple of days ago, when a fresh official hint paved the way for a solution"
if you do a follow up video, look into the story behind what it took to achieve Nuclear Disarmament in Metal Gear Solid V online.
They have mentioned it in several videos already.
A similar, albeit to a smaller scale, than the City of Heroes story featured in this video, is that of Evolve Stage 2. Evolve Stage 2 was an asymmetrical game (think Dead by Daylight) where 4 hunters fight against 1 monster, who grows in strength if it manages to survive the early pursuit.
The game's dedicated servers were shut down, but there is an underground discord server that maintained a sort of private server so that people can continue enjoying the game
Respect to the old halo players who make up the hell divers community. You all did good.
Helldivers is really a big community that does comes together all the time. While I think the save the children one is a better example there was also a time where the developers had issued a major order (A big mission for helldivers to complete) for the week which was supposed to be an impossible challenge that they were destined to fail. But the helldivers community managed to pull through and complete it anyways.
That Tetris stuff is incredible. The thought to even move to hyper tapping then to rolling is something so few people would even comprehend.
Seeing 2 OSRS entries in 2 Gameranx videos in less than 2 weeks *while playing OSRS f2p* is wild.
You shoulda seen this one galactic battlegrounds game. 4 hours in, me and my buddy came back from the brink.
this is more the video i come to gameranx for! not "the worst 10" but more positive stories.
I love both, mad Falcon really is a vibe
Don't forget the MGS 5 community working together to disable ever single nuke.
What about The Sleeper in EverQuest? Wasn't even supposed to be killable
great content! i would have thought Mass Effect community to get Dev's to release an ending for ME3 would have made the list...still wasn't perfect but incredible considering what was "Retail"
In my mind the reason a lot of helldivers went to the aid of the children is because after malevolent creek many of them wanted a solid win to wash away such a terrible defeat, true they retook the planet but it doesn’t change the fact that thousands died on that rock
So you forgot how Total War fans banded together not to buy Total War Pharaoh so CA was forced to apologize, promise deep changes in how they manage and monetize their games and also released most of Pharaoh's paid DLCs as Free DLCs in order to compensate and try to gain back some of the lost trust from their disillusioned fans
The Corrupted Blood Incident from WoW should definitely be mentioned.
Basically a Raid Bosses Viral Debuff called “Corrupted Blood” made its way outside of the dungeon due to a bug with pets not losing it when leaving.
Anyways it spread from those pets like a wildfire; even making its way into safe zones. This caused the community to quarantine entire cities and hunt down those purposefully spreading it.
It was actually used by the cdc as a study in human behavior during an outbreak!😊
The Legends of Pirates Online was a crazy fan service MMO. The game was shut down and fans rallied together to remake the game. My details are foggy, but I remember playing it and really liking it back in the day. The pirate ship combat and whatnot was fun. Way the hell better than Skull and Bones for things to do.
Helldivers has the coolest community ever, developers and players hand in hand is beautiful to see.
