My First Time

[Tunguska]

Thought I’d post an update...

I’m level 12 now and soloing in CB, near the entrance (more for the belts than the mob experience). It’s a really quiet morning with maybe 50 people on, so when a work issue comes up I tab out of EQ. You all know what happens next.

After about 3 minutes I tab back in and find myself naked at my bind spot outside Felwithe. A message on-screen displays:

Durok <> has been killed by Natures <Revenge>

My first thought is, “Clever wordplay, combining the char name and guild name in a meaningful way.”

As I trot back to CB and loot my corpse, I get a /tell from Natures asking me what I was thinking, going AFK? Shrug, low risk situation….I congratulate him on his loot (12 gp). He then starts telling me that he is from Qeynos and a follower of Karana, and that I am his mortal enemy (or something like that) and that he will use my gold to drink “meade”. I think he meant mead, the honey-based alcoholic beverage; maybe he added the extra "e" to sound medieval?

I guess PVP has a roleplaying aspect to it? I’ll have to read up on my EQ lore….does Karana really hate clerics who serve Brell? Wonder if Natures took a faction hit?

Oh well, back to collecting belts.
