I've three quirks that get allong horribly:

1: Old Human Monk Model h2h offhand animation.
I don't know why, but that animation still gives me a boner in 2018. I think it was because you were always waiting for these dw-procs in your early levels and had rising blood flow once they happened. So until today, if I see that offhand punch animation, I immediately want to play a human monk.

2: Monk triple attacks at lvl 15.
I love that moment when you're hitting a mob, staring at the chat window watching the incoming and outgoing damage - and then suddenly three white lines are added to the chat in a blink of an eye: a dual whield + double attack proc, reducing that WC's Young Kodiak's hp-bar by a quarter. Nerd chills.

3: Now here comes the problem: Bards.
My first char I really enjoyed was a bard and ever since, I am addicted. I can't play anything else, except bards (and Monks up to Level 15, for obvious reasons, from time to time). Started on p99: played a bard. Came back after 2years break: played a bard. Started playing on Agnarr: played a bard. Started playing on Coirnav: played a bard. Going to play on p99 again at some Point: will be a bard. I am stuck at bard. I dream bard from time to time. While it bores me as fuck to lull the hell out of mistmore castle for the 18742th time, I still can't stand the idea of not playing a bard.
Sometimes, I try playing another char. So I twink it up and get that neat EC orc camp Group flowing - and suddenly a bard appears and I immediately have to log to my own bard and Twist a few Songs to get anxiety and blood pressure down.

I think I have serious issues.
