Just not the same...

jarshale- you don't have to save a baby from drowning in an inch of water, but there are certain things that are considered decent (and normal acts according to society). The restaurant is full, you're sitting alone at a table for six. A couple asks if you mind if they sit at the table, do you say no? See, that's what I'm talking about. There are certain rules that define whether someone is decent or not. It seems like people get on the internet an they just don't care. I don't know if these people were in EQ back in 1999, but if they were they obviously forgot some of the rules we followed.

I was really wanting to quit, but I do like EQ and the last time I left it was because of something similar (a guy kept training me in Unrest because I was taking an odd mob from the courtyard that his group (a guild group that wouldn't let me join) was at. In the old days there never was a single camp in the Courtyard, how was I supposed to know these guys weren't being douches... anyways, after the third corpse run and a bunch of irritating messages, I left. I came back because I got nostalgic and my first night back was great. I had a blast. But today, not so much. Before I nerd raged, I logged off. Well after I nerd raged. I'll get over it, but is it too much to ask people to treat others with respect? When did compassion become a bad thing?

Don't understand. I would never in a million years be open to someone I didn't know sitting at a restaurant table with me. Look, if a restaurant is full, people wait until it isn't or they find another restaurant. Asking to join in is intruding on their dinner and privacy. It's rude. That's the rule of etiquette.

TIL: rude to ask for a group. Intrusion and bad etiquette. K.

lol this guy gets it

Being a Mage has something to do with it too. Even though mage pets shred and are OP at lower levels the morons of this server still don't "want to play with casters" and have absolutely no interest in learning spell mechanics or how to play a caster (besides one that sits on their ass and CHs all day on the EZ ride to 60 and coattails their way into groups in hard Kunark dungeons when they are horrible at EQ) Few Mages on the server due to this idiocy, tons of clerics and Iksar monks due to this idiocy. Before Chardok AOE, there were very few 60 Wizards and Mages.

I would say no, that's really fucking weird.

Kind of skimming over the thread. Basically you need a good guild. The process is this, Log on, then say:

"/guild Anyone use a level X mage in their group, or want to start one somewhere?"

Most guilds will also have member forums where you can post and setup a timeframe for you to group with members.

This will save you tons of time, build relationships, and guilds will typically help their own. I've already given out quite a few quality items to guildies I've grouped with the past few days. The guild is full of very nice solid members in my alts (now my main) level range.

Anyway, best of luck.
