Etiquette in Blackburrow...?!

I struggled when I took my toon to BB as well, but you have to change your mindset sometimes.

The above quote is exactly true. In the end, we all play the game our own way. A lot of times, the way people play you feel is unfair or stupid, which is fine. Rather than focus on what I think others should do, I focus on what I can do. Go to a different zone, try to find obscure camps, or simply log on a different character in another part of the world.

As for the rogue that was ks'ing you, he is the minority. An overwhelming number of people I've met on this server have been exceedingly kind and helpful. It really has shocked me.

Patch in some trivial loot code, same crap is happening in CB most days.

You'll come to realize there Is a direct correlation between ZEM and number of assholes in any given zone. Tends to be the higher the ZEM the more there are. It really gets bad when the GMs turn on worldwide bonus exp.

Any chance of you guys not spamming every single thread in the *blue* forums with Red banter? We get it, you have nobody to play with. I'm sorry.

Don't know about that, 6 legio pads I turned in yesterday were only 1 blue bubble at 18. When I leveled in CB, I didn't notice any high levels farming pads and belts. I did notice a certain ogre warrior who would loot as many belts and pads as he could, then he /q'ed out when people asked him not to hog stuff. He later sold them in gfay.

[*]"/report Bahkrel" will send the GMs a log of the last 10 lines of text interaction (/tell, /say, /ooc etc., not melee hits)

I thought /report didn't work on P99?

To the original poster: there are a lot of really cool people on this server and you'll meet more of them as you continue to level. Unfortunately, it seems that the pre-level 30 zones are where it is most common to see people do stuff like this. My recommendation would be to leave Blackburrow and get an orc group in East Commonlands.

1. Ask in ooc "I'm a new character to the server trying to get to commonlands, would anyone out there mind helping me with a discounted port so I can get there?".

2. When you get to the commonlands, run to freeport and use ooc to ask for a bind.

3. Go to the EC tunnel and ask for buffs politely from the crowd via say. It may take a little bit but the main thing is to ask politely and not demand or use grammar that makes you sound like a moron - you'll get ignored.

4. Solo stuff around the dunes (run to tunnel if the air elemental aggros) or get in an orc group. You can ooc "Level 8 rogue LFG for orcs" or whatever your level is. This group will get you at least to level 12.

5. Go back to butcherblock and take the boat to Kunark. Read up on how to run through Firiona Vie, Swamp of No Hope, and then to Field of Bone to get to Kurn's Tower.

6. Get a group or solo skeletons from level 12 to 20 in Kurns. It has one of the best ZEM in the game at that level and you'll find many of the iksars seem to be less douchy and will like having a rogue as a groupmate since you're not an iksar class they can choose.

These are just suggestions to get you to 20 where the game starts to open up a little bit. It seems like many rich folks are in such a rush to level they pay to get power leveled or exploit quests like the gnoll fangs in ways that assume noone else on the server exists. Ignore these people, they are the ones who quickly get identified as tools later on in the game as they get called out for either playing their character like shit in groups, or pulling jack moves with loot or their guilds.

Just find a camp in BB and hold it. If they are stealing your mobs, petition them. Petition them once, calmy.

I don't see why this is so hard. Use the rules we already have in place.

To be honest, I agree with you OP. I personally think it's pretty dumb to be in BB at all after level 10. Whenever I made a new toon I would frequent BB and hunt there until level 7 or 8 and then bounce, turn in fangs and get to whatever level 10,11, 12. However there are no rules against being dumb or people camping things that are really not ideal for them. If all the spawns in BB are taken and you can't really hunt there, I really recommend leaving that area, it's just not worth it. Lots of people stick around the EC area and you should be able to get groups, or get buffed by high levels and kill some stuff in EC/NRO.
