It's 2009 And You Receive Martin Fury 

Massive thanks to Madseason, Esfand, Guzu & Snackybox for their appearances!

"Who took all the milk." Ah, classic blizzard.

The end is definately my favourite part, imagine how mad Leroyspeltz is going to be

That madseason at the start, I miss him.. I've watched his pandora's box like 3 times at this point and I thought it was the last I'd ever see of him and his soothing voice.

Teamspeak connection sounds make this 200% better XD

The story of Martin Fury really was a great showing of how Blizzard even back then would not own up to even tiny mistakes It all started because a guy named Leroyspeltz got hacked, lost pretty much his entire inventory, and in the process of trying to restore his account (which took around 5 months) he was accidentally given this dev item along with a host of completely random shit, his level 13 warlock received a small amount of gear along with Martin Fury. Since the guy didn't get a full restore of everything he had, he thought it was actually an intentional move by a GM presumedly to help get him back up to where he was, because how the hell would a GM make this level of a mistake? The item also had a limited charge count which might've added to this belief, everybody essentially thought it was a joke by a GM. I imagine a pretty high level of frustration was there as well, it had taken them 5 months to get to his hacked account and when they did they just dumped a bunch of random gear and items of all levels on the guy and called it done. Eventually the guy shared it with a friend of his, Karatechop who I believe had also been hacked at one point and they used it to go clear some raids with a few guild members, Ulduar, Eye of Eternity, and Obsidian Sanctum, around 14 times. This earned them some pretty significant achievements including some world firsts a lot of people didn't really know existed, unbeknownst to them they actually cleared several of the most difficult achievements for those raids using it. Eventually Blizzard found out and temporarily banned THE ENTIRE GUILD for 24 hours, many of the guild members didn't even know what was happening as this was a pretty large guild. Blizzard then banned Karatechop permanently without any real communication, this was his first infraction, they claimed to send him an email explaining why but Karatechop says he never received this, he also tried to open a ticket but also never received a response. For about a month people just assumed Karatechop was a hacker that had somehow obtained the item via nefarious means and Blizzard to my knowledge never actually acknowledged their own mistake. Blizzard more or less tried to hoist the entire responsibility onto Karatechop who wasn't even the original owner of the item. If I remember right Karatechop also stated he wasn't actually the one who had the item by the time they started using it, he was however, the leader of the guild and Blizzard apparently held him responsible for his guilds actions.

Wish you could buy Martin Fury in the classic cash shop.

I remember when this happened, the guy used it on hard mode yogg sarron and got the world first kill because of the shirt. It was almost instantly known about because of all the top guilds racing to do it at the time got beat out by some weenie that couldn't help himself, and to be completely honest, neither would have I.

That Skype jebait,sweet summer 2010.

Great video dude! Glad it turned out so well!

the attention to detail is always a pleasure.

This is one of the best in-game mess up's in gaming history.

Lol I would have never imagined these top wow content creators coming together to be in a video of yours when I first started watching, you’ve come a long way and you deserve more attention!

Still cant believe they banned every single person in the guild that was online at the time. Talk about a knee jerk reaction lol

Dude, your vids have become a core part of my classic experience, thanks a ton for the great content, keep it up!

So fuckin' good man. The collabs were not expected at all but most welcome, top tier acting. That skype call was hilarious.

Epic video! You've made that reconstitution so perfectly. That's amazing to see how insane was that case ! Think karatechop must has felt like a living god

Out of context but just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome videos you make, you really portray what us rogues are like in real life. WOTLUKUH HYPE

Hi mate can I put this voice acting on my cv?

Such a great story. I was only a few months into wow around the time this happened. Glad to see you cover it!!!

you are 1 upping yourself every video, great stuff man! I really enjoyed this, imagine this happening a second time, would be so good

That was nice! More of this plx! 🙆🏽‍♀️👌🏾

You are the only RU-vidr I watch with interest until the very end. Great vid as always!

Oh man this was epic!!! By far the best video yet!! Great to have some great wow content creators together to tell this story the way it was always meant to be told! Better then Leroy!

Omg! Hearing madseason put me in my feels 😭 I miss him. Great video!

like, why send us the item, if you didn't want us to use it!?

Please bro as a wow player from early 2010 , 09 . Dude never stop making these videos you will blow up ! I’m having just as much fun as watching these vids as playing wow back in the day!

1:29 honestly BE art back then was straight fire

The entire guild getting banned is somewhat true, all players got a 72 hour suspension until the investigation concluded if my memory serves me correctly.

Love it! Amazing video.

i love so much your movies !!! Thanks a lot

The collabs. So awesome

Amazing - Love your channel

Great video man, the Teamspeak sounds got me good cuz i was in a call with some friends there as well XD. Keep up the nice work mate!

Great video azamous love all the wow content creators joining together

Yep the Martin fury thingie I remember this but blizz was monitoring everything so they couldn't get away with it...nice recreation azamous!

Hahaha this is a great idea for a video. That incident will always be remembered

Omg that was amazing, superb effort with the visuals, and great story telling! Had a good laugh.

Please more of that its amazing :)

Ok hear me out on this one. I just read the background to this story and its extremely interesting. I remember this vividly, back when I was playing during this time period 2008/2009 there was this MASSIVE wave of accounts being hacked. Like it happened all at once including to me. It was very odd to me, there was 0 reason I should have been hacked along with like 70% of the guild. I was in college at the time studying cyber security, and I went above and beyond the very basic safe practices to secure my account...like i went to ridiculous lengths, so when this massive wave of stolen accounts was taking place something didn't seem right and this story brings me back. How does a GM accidentally send an item like this? Its interesting that the security tokens came out around the same time all of these accounts were "hacked" and they cost 6 fucking dollars. I remember telling my brother blizzard was probably behind these account hacks to sell and incorporate these new security tokens. After reading this story, along with blizzard selling its soul around the same time as well, Im even more convinced there was fuckery involved

Really enoyed this one - one of your best - imo 😄👍

LMAO that leroyspelz calling at the end 😂😂😂 that was freaking hilarious

I was actively raiding Ulduar back when this incident happened during Wrath. I remember some of us in my guild, at the time, pulling up Karatechop's armory page and refreshing it every 30 minutes or so to see all the new pieces of gear he had equipped as the result of killing the bosses so fast. At that time, we didn't know how he obtained Martin Fury, but you could clearly see him wearing it on his armory page. About 18 hours later, the entire raid team was permanently banned from the game lol

Ahh, whacky fun! Thanks for bringing back some old memories. Now I have to see if I can get another shirt in classic! ;)

Wow I hadn't watched you for ages then this video popped up and i was like "wait I don't remember this being a madseason spoof channel?". Cool to see other creators comes play a part :O

it would be funny if the guildmaster took the gold too "to keep it safe"

awesome video man

I think the final boss is able to alert every GM's attention in thier currently database systems somewhere. Likely The first realm achievements or they havent kill any single of the final boss each on thier servers's reach alert at blizzard peoples.

that loading screen hits different

This is so good!

Love the colab !

You're the wow content maker we need, but the one we don't deserve

Omg Snackybox's lines are top tier what a grand video

my god the power fantasy of having such an item in classic, or even TBC. id be running my rogue through BT to get glaives

These videos are really entertaining

the unexpected Esfand appearance is absolutely hilarious 😂

I was waiting for this

thanks for the video! You should also do a video about corrupted blood incident !

brooooooooooo these cameos are awesome!

I can't believe how big of deal this was at the time. It should have gone like this: They one shot some bosses, Blizzard finds out, they revert the gear and achievements, everyone has a laugh at how silly video games are sometimes. Instead it a big moral debate. "The item said cheater. They should have contacted Blizzard right away. What he did was wrong. He knew it was wrong." Like he should feel guilt and shame for killing fictional monsters incorrectly in a computer game for teenagers. This is a game where people corpse camp real players and compete to see who can be the most horrible in trade chat, but the real players suffering are the ones who thought someone got an achievement earlier than they were supposed to. It was a GM's mistake and Blizzard's reaction was to ban a whole guild, even people who didn't know about the item.

Another gold video!

I think I need more colab videos man, these are fucking gold.

this was great. shoutout azamous

I wish I could have been there. This would have been incredible to see.

I didn't know Guzu was in this until I heard his voice. What a pleasant surprise :D

The head popping out of the water lol

Madseason we miss you!

That was so good bro💪😆

I love your videos Lewis!

loved this

THX Dude!

Loved it!

My Troll rogue for classic was named Karatechop leveled him as sub after watching your sub/ambush leveling guide. Stayed that spec until 52 my favorite way to play rogue.

Hearing "Team Speak" after all these years brings back nostalgia 👌😂

god i loved the lil cameos from all my favourite people

I really hope you can keep collaborating with following creators to develop a guild drama series which could be a sequel to your noob videos.

Loving the Cameos from other streamers and YTers

watt looka hype watt looka hype

I laughed my ass out on that video it such thing actually happened out there! :D

very good - EXCELLENT in fact

Wow fastest 8min for long time in youtube, ty :D

Love the collab

Love this content

The Skype box at the end sent a wave of nostalgic joy through me

ll the big voices, love to hear it!

Leroyspeltz calling at the end XD

Tuned in for the content, stayed for the WOTLK HYPE WOTLK HYPE at the end. Masterpiece.

This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time

This is a fucking masterpiece

Just realized Guzu voiced the nightelf rogue. And Esfand was in there. Epic video hahaha

this gives me 2008 vibes love it

guzu voice over, love it :)

This is amazing

cool vid mate

My account was hacked in early TBC, when I got my items back they gave me full of S2 Gladiator gear instead of S1, this was a week prior to the second season starting.

Good old Vek' nilash, i still remember that draenei mage blayzer being a big memer on the server in wrath

Haha, great video. I was kinda rooting for them to go undetected.

you missed the part at the end where the GM bans everyone, but then disconnects, stretches a bit in his chair, and goes to the cosby suite to harass some employees. Ah, banning innocents and harassing, typical blizzard day.

I raided with TMF guild in 2012 when I was in highschool once or twice

LOL love how Guzu and Esfand is in this 🤣
