Which makes it kinda difficult to track people.. you kinda have to literally "TRACK" them.. like think, "well it says theyre behind and to the right.. but behind and to the right is the corner of WC nobody EVER goes to.. why would they be there? naw I think they are probubly going towards EC".. so you run towards the EC zoneline then suddenly they swap from behing behind and to your right, to straight ahead, because you moved from that outer 'buggy' circle of track (which is determined by what? I have no clue) and into your inner circle, which I assume is the track distance of the class you're playing (but again I have no clue if that is the case ether)

Anyway, a good tracker is as rare as a good ranger IRL

the case-fluidity of you handwriting infuriate me :c

There's a whole lot of victim blaming in this thread (as there is in every "I lost stuff" thread). It's human nature: we all want to think "that's horrible, but it could never happen to me", and so we find reasons why the OP was dumber than us and therefore why it couldn't happen to us. Same thing that happens to many crime victims IRL (especially rape victims).

But the truth is that if OP had done a drop transfer, he'd be blamed too. If he'd gotten a non-guilded level 60 in the tunnel to do the transfer he'd be blamed. And if everyone on the server only did transfers with A/A members, A/A members would get sick of it real fast and stop doing transfers for people. The truth is someone took advantage of OP and it's not his fault, and if we had bad luck it could happen to most of us too (no you can not "smell" all bad people on the server).

As for everything else about transfers being a pain ... yes, they are. So are many, many things in classic EverQuest: that's part of it's "charm".

What? how is he the victim? he's just a dummy...

What he did was basically walk up to a stranger on the street, hand them a hundred dollar bill and then told them " I'll be back in 15 minutes can you hold this for me?" and left.

Haha, I've never thought about it like that.

Yes, exactly like that ... except in real life no one ever hands strangers money expecting it back, because if you want to give yourself $100 you just do so. But in EverQuest hundreds of people transfer money and items every day, many of them using total strangers.

Not to mention that all of this happened on a GM-policed server where you can't hide your identiy, so really it's more like saying "hey, you see that video camera that's watching us? it's recoding us making a verbal contract that you are doing me the favor of transferring this $100, and just to be safe I'm holding your driver's license up to the lens" ... and the guy still stole it.

Maybe a better analogy would be FedExing yourself $100, and having the Fedex guy steal it.

You can send a tell to zabs if he is on, no charge for transfers. 2 bag limit though.

How are you not in a guild, at least a guild with a FEW people you can call friends? Being solo-dolo doesn't make you cool, especially when the fundamentals of this game take teamwork. I would never ever let dual box on this server for a second because the minute we do that then we have people exploiting it.
