EverQuest Hoaxes

The crazy don't kill the Bears thingy in Surefall Glade and Blackburrow. I have never ever killed one to this day LoL. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But Vanguard was so awesome!

Conceptually speaking, Vanguard is arguably the most innovative MMORPG after Meridian, EverQuest and AC/UO/WoW.

The problem was not McQuaid, it was Microsoft for not respecting the project.
Smedley involved with EQ Next is far more worrisome than anyone from the original EQ team. I'd rather have a Verant customer service rep helping out than Smedley.

I don't remember any specific hoax; however I remember telling people about the glitch at the Dagnor's Cauldron entrance from Butcher Block, and how it would teleport you to Kaladim's entrance. I often got told it was a hoax and a lie.

Yeah, Vanguard was great before it actually got released.

I was, however, not cool at all.

I think we all came to this conclusion at some point in the last 13 years...

haha definitely did this too, but it was more about distance to/from the mob. and i still do it out of habit. i always look like i'm humping my target's leg

Here on P99 the effect is alive and well. It's max melee distance. As a paladin, I can root a mob and if I place myself just at the point where I can hit a mob, but I'm too far a way to attempt a disarm, then I connect a lot more often, and for a higher average damage.

I was in some other thread about old misconceptions and I mentioned that I always wanted to be uphill of the mob I fought and this topic came up. I tried it and have had more fun with my 2h weapon!

Oh and another Plains Pebble one I used to hear was: Having a pebble in your inventory increased your chances of getting the rare forage for the zone you were in.

And my favorite:
/who
There are 87 players in East Commonlands.
You shout, "Cool! The /ex command shows your experience in numerical format!"
/who
There are 71 players in East Commonlands.

Petitioned for griefing! :P

I used to, and still do, a /random right before I know the server's about to make a RNG check. For example, if I'm about to kill a PH I'll fire off /rand right before it does to "purge" the crappy number from the system so that the next number used will be used because I made it so. I feel like maybe if I "participate" somehow the result will be better.

Old habits die hard.

God, I love this thread.
