Ha - so many emotional high strung folks. It is like home again. I miss the Veeshan Vault - classic board that is still up but not operational.
So much venom. Awesome.
My first character I met on the server was Charlesbronson who essentially stays camped at the Priest of Discord in Rivervale killing all of the guards. He allowed me to loot one and bingo - 11 plat. What a godsend.
The wall guards in Misty are constantly camped and the fine folks killing the guards for the are very helpful and play the role of guards when you bring a mob back to the wall. Again, great community. So Pyrex, I have no issue with that aspect of the game at all, just took some getting use to. I give them my little cleric buffs and they allow Deputy Budo to live a few moments longer for me to turn in Deathfist belts and it works well for everyone.
I do have issue when a player pulls all the guards, does not help when you are obviously being whacked at the guard station and does not rez after he watches you die and says /cry when you loot your corpse lol. That is kinda like griefing methinks. I understand EQ rules completely, at least as they were on Veeshan, raiding rules mostly and I do understand community. You give more than you take and I would not play a Cleric if I did not want to help more than hurt. Its a pretty selfless class IMO.
So I will avoid you as well, but I will Rez you if I see you down. That is my role and my obligation.
Anyway, since that time people have provided me gear for no other reason that they are mensches and I have given gear provided to me down to others starting out. This is actually how I remember it being in 1999 when I started playing and how I played the game up until 2005.
Man I missed this world.
Seeber
