Ditto.
Sometimes after I /ooc or /shout for a port and nobody responds, I just take off on foot. More than once I've lied and said that I got my ride when a porter finally responded after I'd gotten underway.
Here and in the old days, I've run Lag's tatertot legs into the dirt in journeys from Faydwer to Halas and back, and the only point to the journey was to go.
It's one of the EQ playstyles: meanderer.
There's a lot of lamentation about the hardcore player, to mention one other style. I haven't met too many of a 3rd type I know: true roleplayers. My favorite was a fellow in live. He played a dwarf alcoholic. He would beg coppers and silvers off of players and then run right to the nearest NPC selling booze to drink up the alms.
I guess I'm a meanderer here. I was sort of a meanderer in live, and a time-starved hardcore player at the same time. I wanted to do what the hardcore did, and had the skills, but never the time.
I may just have to log in and start running.
