Fuck voice chat. It just crushes your hopes when you talk to that cute high elf and she's actually a big black guy.

Funny you should mention that, my good man.

In 2001, I took a job as a manager at a local Gamestop. I was an avid Everquest player at the time, so when people would come in to buy expansions, I would always have a side conversation with them.

Well, one day a black guy around 6'6 came to the counter, holding in his hand the Vellious expansion. We talked about Everquest for a good 10 minutes, swapping war stories and small strategies.

Then came the question: "What do you play?"

I stated I played a half-elf paladin...his answer: A female woodelf druid, and he specificly said "you know, the blonde one?"

I looked at him with disbelief, but he swore up and down he did it because people gave him items and money for free, and that he was now attached to the character.

True story.

Yes. We black folk are capable of doing things other than pimp hoes, rap to beats, and color coordinate our clothing with our vehicles.

I bet you play an erudite.







actually when I was kiting spectres today and saw you, I believe you were a dark elf, but whatever, that arguably falls under the stereotype.

Id like to think myself a prominent figure in the community here and a member of 1 of the top raiding guilds. I'm also a native new york urban black guy. You wouldn't know it from my posts or my mannerisms but thatss the point of the internet after all. I donst have to be the stereotype here.
