The scene/situation: My first toon on eq was a gnome magician. Keep in mind I never bothered to look at all the character race or class options.

2-3 hours into my first play session and about 4 disconnects in due to my brother picking up the phone line (dial up) I found myself lost in steamfont. It was night and nearing eq dawn. Just as the sun was coming up I was greeted with my first ever sighting of an ogre.

It was another player so he didn’t con kos to me but I still didn’t know how to tell the difference between an npc and a pc. I cautiously walked up and hailed him. He slowly turned and proceeded to say “Mmmm nummy gnome blud IM GUNNA EAT JOO!!”. I turned tail and fled in a random direction. This guy chased me for the better part of 15 minutes. I tried hiding behind objects to no avail. I was lost.

All through the zone others were apparently watching this ogre chase a random naked gnome around in big circles. I managed to find the lfay zone line by accident. He followed and I took off left following the zone wall. In the end he chased me right into the dark elf camp where I died. I got disconnected again due to a phone pick up.

When I managed to get back into the game steamfont ooc was full of people (including that ogre) making fun of the naked gnome running all around the zone screaming for help being chased by an ogre.

I deleted that toon and didn’t log in for a few days.

hahha this was the best one
