About this listen
What was once a place to sell your [Copper Shortsword of Suck] quickly devolved into the most toxic, hilarious, and chaotic battleground in any MMO — the trade chat.
In this episode, Boss Mode dives into the legendary warzones of server-wide chat: the flame wars, gold spam floods, Chuck Norris jokes, scammy duel invites, and the rise of regional trolls who made entire zones unplayable (but unforgettable). We’ll explore how trade chat evolved into a lawless sandbox of culture, conflict, and community — and why some players loved it that way.
Plus:
💥 Listener stories featuring scams, callouts, and trade chat revenge
🔥 The unspoken etiquette of global chat — and what happens when it's broken
👹 A few fictional shoutouts to infamous trolls you never want to meet again
Whether you were there for the Barrens chat bloodbath or just dodged spam in Orgrimmar, this one will bring back the madness.
