Ceciliantas - Greatest Lover (and Tank) in EQII History
You can expect this blog to get more recent as I clear out some of my favorite stories. But really how could you expect anyone to blog about EQII without at least a nod to the mighty and talented Ceciliantas?
For those that have never heard of this splendid fellow here's a quick synopsis: A screencap appeared on the forums showing Ceciliantas engaged in "cybering" with a female wood elf in his inn room while a rogue with invis on stood watching. This would probably have faded out after a few jokes if not for Ceciliantas' long and bizarre rants in the discussion thread.
I won't ruin the story for you. I've directed several people to this tale and the beauty of the Ceciliantas story is that each person finds a different part to laugh at. Some love the inital screencap, others the part when his supposed "online girlfriend" turns on him as well, and others love the surprise twist at the end. As for me, I always get the biggest laugh at how he talks about his tanking like he has created some type of masterwork which can never be reproduced.
The best place to start is by looking through this capture of the initial thread. Then, if you want the backstory and the twist, click here.
Fame has spread far and wide of Ceciliantas' mighty deeds - from an article at humor site Something Awful to an entry in Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary.
So, raise a glass of ale to Ceciliantas - the best there ever was.

If you want to learn more about dear Ceciliantas... He's formerly known from EQ1 as Dethen from Zebuxoruk, oh there was many many many many many a laugh at his expense, idiocy, and to this day he's still known and made fun of... In fact, when someone does post something supremely idiotic Dethen references invariably appear...

Hehe...that's great - thanks for the history. It seems like the story of Ceciliantas (aka Dethen) never ends...
We actually had this guy on my WoW server, Shadow Council, for a time. Same race, class, and name, for he is clearly a genius. Went on insane rants about other people supposedly hacking and about how having Lightforge armor actually made him a better and more intelligent person. He would try and use this to win arguments. It was classic.
Long story short, someone posted a link to the original Ceciliantas story, he denied it was him (what are the odds) and about a week later was caught in the same situation again, with screenshots for all to see. He got his name changed, people found out his new name, and he left the server.
No one knows where he went, or if he was smart enough to use a different handle this time, but to this day, Shadow Council remembers Sticky Cecil. We just don't get entertainment like that anymore.
Just as an aside, this was extremely funny from the GM point of view... especially using GM's as threats against "who ever did this crap" all the time... Cecil's only contact to the GM's was to beg, repeatedly, for a name change... one that he was informed would not be done. He also begged for a server transfer, which he was informed he could pay for. :)
Just a little bit from the inside...
Retired EQ and EQ II GM Hardrea the Lost and Wandering.
He was actually also on my FFXI server when i played that years ago (midgardsormr server). Was an utter tool there as well :P
The Permafrost forum with the original thread is long gone, but an archived version of at least the first page is available here:

This is the guy that played Eniigma from the permafrost server, just dropping a note that a summed up version of the story that went down on the forums is archived on my webserver here:
