This isn't exactly an exploit, but sort of a funny memory. Back in the original torque quest, there was some sort of strange thing in the opening area, once you'd gotten past the "walk around hill seven times" syntax greatness. You entered some sort of temple or something (faulty memory here) and there were some sort of things like black flames (???) if I remember correctly. You could put anything into the flames and they would be destroyed. I tried <put gorboth in flames> and ... poof. I was logged out as the thing destructed my character.

I wonder how many of those details I got wrong just there. Hee hee. 1994 ... 22 years ago ... ugh!

That flame was evil. Was never fixed, before the quest was closed and changed, as far as I remember.
