First time EQ stories

[TarukShmaruk]

I have several..

1.) First night I bought the game, make an Ogre Shaman on Rallos Zek, see another newbie and try to PK him and an Armadillo kills me. They assisted players apparently, like spiders would.

2.) Travelled to Neriak for the first time at level 9. We went from Feerrot -> Innothule - > S. Ro -> Oasis -> North Ro. -> Commons -> Nektulos. We swam the entire way through Oasis because the light races would PK us, as was custom at the time.

Got to Neriak and went exploring until a fucking level 50 Shadowknight Troll guildmaster killed me. Any Ogre Shaman (Rallos Zek deity) will get killed by this fucker if you get too nosy there.

Had to run all the way back because I hadn't found a bind yet.

3.) GM gave me the last piece for my Wizard epic. Had been bound in PoFear for over a month checking every day w/ Eye of Zomm and the broken golem was never up. Turns out they busted the faction and he was getting insta gibbed by the rest of the zone. GM felt bad and handed me the final piece and said "a month is long enough"

4.) Naked PKs became a problem - usually Wizards - they just stalked the major classic dungeons (Sol B and L Guk) and 9/10 times they got killed or got nothing, but once a while they got some doofuses FBSS or found someone low health.

I figured out how to XP loss them with my pet once I found their bind - attack them, get them low, hit my own pet and zone - pet became NPC and they were still on hatelist.

I took a PK I found from 50 to 48 doing this and a GM showed up. I tried to play dumb and he said "look, he was 49 when he petitioned, he's 48 now". I just explained that these guys were a cancer and I was trying to get them back the only way I knew how since they never wore any droppable equip ...he said "ok, cut it out, and if he asks tell him I gave you a warning"

5.) Enchanters could charm and type /pet get lost and you would slash yourself for 32k and take XP loss. It was rough but not that many were abusing this.
