[Cid]

Whether or not everyone reads my posts are irrelevant. I am compelled to try and interject a small measure of calm and composure into what could be described as a clusterfuck of ego and delusion.

If you think I do not know what I am talking about, it is understandable to assume such. However, I have more experience in all aspects of Everquest than possibly any individual on the entirety of P99. I can practically guarantee I have more experience as my class than any person here, unless someone can top 13 years of being one class, 10 years of it without any alts, just my shaman.
The result of that time was that I have accomplished virtually everything possible in this game and therefore have no ego to boost, no pride to protect and no temper to provoke. I have no sense of greed to exploit and no one in a game is even capable of affecting my mood.

If you want Red specifically, I was here in Beta testing, made Colt, my mage, the day Red launched, Cidisius a couple days later and leveled up prior to the xp bonuses when at best there were 15 of us on in primetime unless Nihilum was raiding.
I have three 60 toons and three more in their 50s, all soloed almost 100%. All the gear I own I either camped myself or farmed pp to buy.

I have helped hundreds of people, especially necros needing spells, and given away probably 250-500k in coin and items while refusing any payment except their word to pay the kindness forward.

I have a total of 0 combined kills on all of my characters and have made friends of almost every person that ever attacked me, on both sides.

I have never betrayed anyone, never done something even slightly questionable for loot, never cheated or used an exploit, never bailed on a person or a guild and I have never treated someone with disrespect unless I was joking or given good reason.






Is that enough experience to know what I am talking about?

I may not have the self-righteousness you gained switching sides Stasis, or guilt-proof conscience of HB to bail on my own guilds, nor even the cruel streak to kill helpless newbies in Unrest on my epiced rogue a la Sickpuppy, but if you think I chose the easy path you are hilariously misinformed. It is simple to be like one of you guys, but there is no one else like me on Red. I am no better than anyone else, just nicer and less emotional with a spotless record.

I have been stabbed in real life and never felt angry or vengeful at the guy who did it. I forgave him before I got up and walked to find help. When you are capable of something like that, you might understand enough for me to care what you think of me.


TL;DR - A very short list of my experiences qualifying me to speak as a neutral party along with some amusement at the series of people with questionable or nonexistant morality suspicious of my experience. Overall it is clarification for anyone wondering if I am qualified to chastise people for immaturity and tell them what they should be doing.
