Swimming skill

[perditionparty]

I do not condone this or endorse it and am only posting because I found it amusing.

I recently installed EQ on a friends computer to play at their house for a bit. I forgot to delete lavastorm nek etc. I had logged out of Lava and when i logged back in it was the new zone set up. Perplexed as to what the hell was going on I ran around the zone trying to find Nek, Najena, SolA and B or the druid rings, to zone into or port out of. During the period of running around for 5 minutes before someone pointed out my error, my swimming had increased as if I were swimming instead of running the whole time.


The easiest way I trained swimming was to swim back and forth along Oasis shoreline during downtime (especially during high peak hours and mobs weren't always available).
