It is probably similar to the "disco bug" you can see in several threads and in the bugtracker: #4400 (http://bugs.hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=4400)

"only characters who" is what is in the picture. Probably comes from one of the MOTDs

In almost four years of playing, I can honestly say, I've never seen this one before.  ;D

this was a prerelease bug in emitters in hydlaa.. termonuclear explosions instead of smoke:

then some more recent ones caused by bugs in nvidia drivers with dual screen framebuffer handling:

OK so you've all showed me up and put my picture to shame. *cry.*

the first time it ever happened to me I was on the road back from oja and projected across the landscape where what appeared to be sprites from Space Invaders. I swear I took a screenshot of it but I can't seem to find it. I thought there was a GM or dev somewhere out there messing with me. Of course, Ara took it as a message from the Gods.

Yliakum the red planet?

Ara clearly had a vision that one day Yliakum will be taken over by extra terrestrials.

You mean surface dwellers will dig down into Yliakum? I bet Chuck Norris will be at the vanguard chewing through the rock like an uberkran!

Someone tells him WOW isn't real and that there is this strange land he can get to by chewing straight down through the ground?
