Fansy the Famous Bard

Fansy the Famous Bard (Better known simply as Fansy, Fansie, or Pansie) is an oldskool troll from back in the beginning days of EverQuest, perhaps being the first MMO troll to have existed. Perhaps the most lulzy note is that Fansy didn't just troll any server on EQ. He trolled the PvP Sullon Zek server that claimed to have zero rules. (Spoiler: Rules were added after he finished wreaking havoc) In short, Fansy single-handedly forced the hand of the EverQuest GMs to severely alter the game rules, thus changing the standards of anti-troll preventative measures in all future online games.

	—Trolling as a art

LOLOGS

"you want revenge, target and stun the bard"

Luckily, even though Fansy didn't really have any trolls to model himself after, he handled his exploits like an expert and actually logged and screencapped the unprecedented anger he stewed amongst the Y2K OG neckbeards. And, like a fine wine, this nerdrage has only gotten more delicious as the decades pass on.

GO-GO GOOD TEAM!!!

Fansy began his mission to troll EverQuest using simple but elegant techniques. The exploit was in the Bard; having the fastest speed in the game with an included Haste buff to compensate for his incredibly shitty stats, Fansy was able to outrun every single monster in the game. Fansy would run around the wilderness gathering up a ton of assorted, stupidly powerful mobs, and then drag them into town or near a clique of player-killers. The mob would instantly kill Fansy and then overwhelm and slaughter everyone else in the area. Specifically he would target high-leveled player-killers in the most dangerous PvP zones, but nobody could do shit about it because PvP was only open to characters level 6 and over. Hilarity ensued.
