Is healing/buffing/dispelling an engaged guard allowed?

sounds fun, on blue, so probably not

Hmm, per original EQ timeline guards are supposed to be healable/buffable by friendlies until beyond 2003 (I just found some old 2003 posts and older talking about doing this).

As it's protecting one's own race, and guards are specifically allowed to be healed (vs standard mobs which couldn't be unless charmed) it seems like original devs intended players to protect their town's guards?

Note, not something I would do, but I do like to see accuracy on the timeline [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bug report it. It maybe one of the unfixables.

From a role playing standpoint, if your cities guards are under attack, you should be allowed to help them out via buffs/dispelling. That's not grief, it's role playing!

Quite a few people have tried to use RPing as an excuse for being an asshole. It's not.

What do you think this is? Some kind of... role playing game?

This is not a RP server nor is Blue a PvP server so if you are healing and buffing a mob that someone else has engaged just so the guard lives and the person dies cause of it, it is griefing. U want to save guards go to red or find a Emulated RP server.

I think RP servers were not OG everquest they expected it on every server. Friona vie was 2000 something
