As you level up, you'll find people are better at dealing with all these things so you're less likely to get into a frustrating situation, and even if you do your group members will be more likely to deal with it in a way other than ragequitting.
That's reassuring. I can tough it out if that's the case.

I do not believe I have encountered a situation like the one that you have described in the former orc stronghold of Clan Crushbone or anywhere else in my travels. I have encountered a few cranky individuals, but that is to be expected. The world is full of diverse personalities. Some of the best ways to deal with the sour ones are generosity and leadership. I share freely my stash of liquor with comrades, especially the cranky ones and work to inspire greatness in them.

Once recently in the City of Mist a combination of ignorance and inebriated bliss lead my party, with me at the forefront, to calamity! I was conversing with a group mate and was not fully aware of the severity of my location until it was too late. My presence angered a returning horde of constructs and undead, leading to the deaths of several group mates in addition to my own. We recovered though and I learned a valuable lesson that day: Captain Orlin's Spiced Ale is delightful!

I understand rage quitters when the group was perceived as real shitty. But just because of bad circumstances... that's lame. At least help everybody get their corpse back. The good news is that usually even people outside the group will help, that's my experience.
Oh yeah and others were helpful for sure. Just felt that my group should have been the helpful ones. I was okay after dying once more. Just sucks cause I tried on my own fist and my corpse was in the throne room which was fine with a group, but death city on my own.

Probably just due to the low level range. Its definitely not what I would consider “a server problem” – Most groups I am in are fairly stable, but maybe that’s just because of my awesomeness
Your awesomeness probably doesn't hurt haha. I'm still what most would consider a newb.

Some people have very little patience for wipes. In particular you'll see twinks rage quit the group after a wipe. It happens, best to just laugh at them and keep on keepin' on. For the most part people are able to shrug off wipes/deaths and get back into groupage.

First - if you are ever in a situation where you can't get your corpse, pull up a map of the zone and look for the closest location to your corpse that you can safely get to. Then go to that location and try to /corpse your body. You can /corpse through walls, and it is not affected by z-axis.

As for groups - no one really takes lowbie groups seriously. Once you get higher and the levels take longer you'll meet mor3 dedicated players, but in CB a lot of times you find people who log on for 20 mins to bang out a level or something. Best bet is to /friend people you like grouping with and start organizing your own groups. By the time I was like L20 on my first character I had already made friends with 8-10 people who I pretty much exclusively grouped with until we all hit max level. Even on the last character I leveled up, even though we didn't really become friends, I probably did 80% of my 50+ groups with the same group of people because we worked well together and had similar playstyles. You can try joining a guild, but there is really no replacement for sending someone a tell saying that you enjoyed grouping with them and are adding them to your friend list for future groups.

If you group with random people, you'll get random results. Hard to avoid it early on, but the sooner you can surround yourself with like minded players the more you'll enjoy the game imo.

I love the drama that hits the forums coming from Crush Bone. (whether its real drama or not) It's always fascinating to see lower level players react in that particular zone.

There have been so many funny, sad, weird stories from this zone. It's too bad they're not all recording in one glorious place.

If you've spent time in crush bone, you know.. you know

how hard is it to get a corpse out of cb? the zone is the size of a closet.
But a walk in closet at least...
