A look back at the Loyola Professor who trolled an MMO Community

This took place in, IMO, the best MMO ever 'City of Heroes'. Oddlyon the server I played on, Freedom. He was beyond hated on the server and is still the most popular name within the PvP community.

Over the course of 2yrs a Loyola/Tulane Professor trolled and provoked outage in PvP for a "study".

Twixt was one of those names on the Freedom server of City of Heroes that would just drive everyone nuts. He was a PvPer who would find some of the craziest ways to annoy the heck out of his opponents, such as teleporting them right in front of the Longbow agents at the hero base in PvP zones. A year ago, however, the man behind the keyboard finally drew back his mask to reveal a sociology professor from Loyola University outside New Orleans.

David Myers, a Loyola professor and computer game scholar, looks at his computer screen with his "City of Heroes" online computer game character "Twixt" reflected in his glasses at his home in Slidell Friday, July 3, 2009. "Twixt" became perhaps the game's most reviled, abused player because his playing methods were unpopular.
