Line 15:
** Mother Mallum, an absolutely horrific abomination that enslaved all of Witchaven and everyone in the Fishing Platform, and is thus killed in her last appearance.
** Zemouregal, who enslaves Arrav and turns him into his slave.
** Insane or no, what [[God Is Evil|Amascut]] did to Apmeken and the monkey settlers alone earns her this moniker. While she has never been fought in-game, [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu|getting tricked into being the player's Slayer master]] [[Laser -Guided Karma|might be]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|worse]].
* [[Designated Hero]] / [[Villain Protagonist]]: The so-named Wise Old Man. He's remembered fondly by various NPCs in-game and is a key character in a few quests, but his pastimes generally involve [[Screw the Rules, I Have A Nuke|abusing his powers]] to break into banks and rob or murder innocents just because [[Dude, Where's My Reward?|he feels he got shortchanged for heroic deeds in the past]].
* [[Dude, Not Funny]] / [[Cruelty Is the Only Option]]: The 2012 Easter event. The Easter Bunny is out of action with an injury, so the player gets the choice of serving either the Evil Chicken or the Chocatrice (both villains). The task? Go around Gielinor using your newly-acquired "Eggsterminator" to break the Easter eggs and convert their fluffy contents into either chicken drumsticks or chocolate.
* [[Ear Worm]]:
** Many of the earlier music tracks are very catchy, especially the main theme, and some of the later ones too.
Line 43:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Pillars, after {{spoiler|Mother Mallum's infamously anticlimactic death in ''Salt in the Wound''.}}
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]:
** [[Climax Boss|YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW]] [[For Massive Damage|YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW]] [[Evil Sounds Deep|YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW]] [[Overly Long Gag|YOUR GOD CAN'T HELP YOU NOW]] [[Killed Mid -Sentence|YOUR GOD CAN'T HE-]][[Kaizo Trap|IMPOSSIBLE]]!
** In the Agility Arena, the little song snippet that plays when you get a ticket gets old ''fast'', especially considering it stops the music for several seconds.
** The tweeting birds when you fail at pickpocketing, mostly for their association with being stunned for a few seconds.
Line 63:
** Coordinate clues require you to use a very clunky navigation interface to find a spot to dig. What's worse, some of them send you to dangerous places like the Wilderness where stopping to use said interface would be problematic. Many players regard these as de facto [[Guide Dang It]] moments.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Quite a lot between the [[Player Character]] and [[Badass Adorable]] Cave Goblin chick Zanik. Crosses over into [[Interspecies Romance]], and, if the player is female, [[Les Yay]]. One of the letters pages reveals that Zanik does indeed have feelings for the player, but wants to go off on her own so she won't be stuck in your shadow.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The [[Villain Episode|Vengeance!]] [[In Another MansMan's Shoes|saga]] is a [[Sympathetic POV|surprisingly poignant]] [[Perspective Flip]] from the view of a female Forgotten Warrior in Daemonheim. The saga begins with you in control of a normal adventuring party comprised of a few player stereotypes (one who's [[Blood Knight|obsessed with killing]], a role-player, a rule breaker, and their [[Only Sane Man|sane team leader]]), after entering a room and seemingly killing everyone within it, you then take control of one of the victims who's [[Not Quite Dead]]. She awakes, poisoned, and surrounded by her dead comrades and her dead little brother (Taevas). She continues to wander through the dungeon, the poison slowly killing her, as she runs into more dead friends (each with their own examine info as she fondly remembered them), confronts and kills the members of the adventuring party that attacked them, and struggles with her own madness as her thirst for revenge begins to warp her mind, [[Not So Different|turning her into one of the very killers that she hunts...]]
* [[That One Boss]]:
** Nomad. The custodian of a minigame as a fight, shouldn't be hard, right? Well, he's been gathering the souls of everyone who's died there for a year, and has harnessed their power for himself. He will freeze you, hit you to the literal maximum your body can withstand without disintegrating, summon land mines in a circle around you, and call up clones that fight at 100% power. What's that, you think you're going to win? He heals himself once you get him to a quarter of his health, and if you do it again he'll knock off the nonsense and just smack you around faster than you can blink. Your reward is a solid red or blue cape. Enjoy.
Line 70:
** The sliding puzzle in Elemental Workshop 3.
** The Temple of Light in Mourning's End Part 2.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:
** The 12-10-07 updates.
** The introduction of microtransactions and particularly the associated changes to the rules and terms of use were poorly received.
** '''Every''' update gets this reaction from at least one section of the [[Broken Base]].
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Anyone scared of spiders, stay the hell away from the 2009-2010 Halloween Event. Seriously.
