Worst thing you've done in EQ

[Rabitz]

When I was a snot-nosed adolescent I once saw a monk with Fists of Rock in Paludal Caverns. This was before the days of hyperlinking items, so I asked to see in trade to view the item's stats. While my friend and I stared at the item in awe, the other player accidentally hit trade and I immediately clicked trade as well. I was delighted, but it was not a good look. He was begging me to give the item back but I just pleaded ignorance. GM's got involved, but couldn't do anything since he technically gave it to me. The item was worth only a couple thousand pp I believe, but as my highest character was level 17 this was more money than I could imagine at the time.

Years later when I was playing Shadowbane I ran into the same character (his name was the same) and we talked about eq for about 10 minutes before I lured him into some remote wooded area away from the city, PK'ed him and took his money.

I still feel guilty af for being such a shit head. I've been an upstanding citizen of Norrath on p99...trying to pay it forward. If you're the victim in this story send me a tell with your character and server name from back in the day and I'll make it up to you <3

Today I pick pocketed the goblins deep in hhk basement before the group pulled it. They got very mad, verbally abused me, sent death threats, petitioned a GM, and tried to scare me with threats of petition.

All in all it was a good experience role playing as a rogue and I would do it again. Thanks

I'm going to do this on my rogue when he gets higher in level. Then sell the ears to the groups!

How else is a young rogue to make solo xp?

I wasn't into EQ back in the day (was 16 and to busy getting tail) but, my brother used to swindle people into giving him their account info. He would then strip there characters and make platinum in the bazaar from what he got... Pretty f'ed up in my opinion.

Unfortunately, he passed away in 2009. And I've missed him ever since. Hope it wasn't the karma coming back from what he did in EQ... Either way I miss him.
