What happens when swarms of MMORPG characters gather in one place for an event?

If you said, they turn on each other in a mass of writhing death, you would be right. These are some screencaps from the last PWI "event"

The gathering storm: http://twitpic.com/2p7g3/full
Note the corpses(many more not caught on screencap): http://twitpic.com/2p7g9/full
An aerial view of some of the fighting: http://twitpic.com/2p7gf/full

In 6 years it'll be Back to the Future II! Unfortunately, within 4 years Replicants will be trying to kill us, then we'll be eating each other for food, and there won't be any babies, so the plague from 12 monkeys will seem like a relief.
