The Daily Grind: What's the most bizarre thing you've ever seen in an MMO? (Massively)
I loved Zentia before it was shuttered in the West, but it has to be one of the most bizarre games I've ever played. Not only did it mix cartoony graphics and Daoist mythology and conga lines in the streets, but you could play a baby. No, really. An actual baby. I rolled my Vajra Guardian (a tanky character) as a baby in a diaper because why not? You don't get opportunities like that every day.

I was once playing WoW and I flew to the top of a mountain, only to find a HUGE spider just chilling there. To this day I still do not know how it got up there considering I had to fly to even get up there.
In Anarchy Online some years back, a player hack that sent spurious data to the server resulted in a newly-created Atrox character running around Borealis with a building for a head. A full sized building that moved and bobbed about as the head model would have done as the character slowly ran around the city. There was no collision detection thankfully, but for a few minutes until the GMs nuked it, it was kinda hard to see/do anything in Bor because of this constantly moving building that covered the place.
In vanilla WoW's Goldshire I found on a riverbank, with Westfall on the other side, a perfect circle of about eight or so gnomes laying on the ground. I waited about ten minutes to see if anything would happen, but no - the gnomes stayed there.
Most of the bizarre things I've encountered were player run events. I have fond memories of Naked Gnome Races across Norath and Pants Free Raids.
Shortly after launch, GW2 had some nasty bot problems, one time I noticed a huge pile of them stuck in a corner in one of the max lvl zones, with a monster aggroed on them, and it would attack and down one bot but the rest would revive him, and that's how they leveled up to 80, with the revive xp.
