Protips: What is one brief tip you wish someone told you 20 years ago?
 

Straferunning (diagonal holding the right mouse button) can help you outrun almost anything if fleeing to the zone line.

/corpse ignores z-axis and pulls corpse up thru floors (rip all my forever lost corpses in the depths of blackburrow summer 1999)

You can use a banker even if he/she is KoS (you can bank even when they're beating up on you)

That you can consent your offline main/alt and do your own corpse recovery

+1 on this.

The Cleric is NOT a melee DPS character.

(I was a dumb child)

A halfling that casts an illusion spell, then clicks off the illusion, becomes the size of a gnome for purposes of being able to see through walls.

For casters (and to some extent everyone) gear is mostly unimportant when leveling up: even if you have 200 more or less mana (or your tank has 100 more or less AC, or whatever) your group will still level about as fast as the next group. Skill will make a much bigger difference, so focus on playing better/smarter and don't worry about the twinks around you.

It's skill, not a Fungi tunic that is regens those HPs.

The whole point was to be brief, and you of all people should know I struggle with brevity ;)

Therefore when I wrote "mostly" I left out qualifications like "(with exceptions like the Fungi Tunic)" and left them implied instead.

But heck, even Fungi Tunics really don't make that much difference in group XP gain over time, especially the higher level you get.
