A friend of mine (who I had moved away from in '92), tracked the progress of the game on Usenet for years, and both (eventually) got on the game the day it opened. I created a human rogue and he created a human cleric. At some point during the first week we got into an argument, because he was obsessed with knowing when I was poisoned, even the weakest of poisons, and we got into an argument when I stopped telling him about the short duration poisons that did next to no damage, so that he wouldn't waste all his mana curing them. He basically just rage quit that day, and I never saw or heard from him again, LOL.

Your friend just wanted to roleplay as a poison curing specialist and you denied him that. Early EQ had all kinds of weird role playing like that. I remember some people played Monks and refused to equip any items whatsoever. Let's not even get started on the Warriors who rolled small races and stacked AGI because they thought it made them harder to hit.
