What's was your "dumb" EQ moment?

[freakyuno]

Back in the original days (99), me and a few friends had the very real belief that the angle you had a mob lined up in your viewport in first person view affected your hit rate.

My dumbest moment was as a level 5 ranger, jumping on a convo with a higher level char (15 or so, who was a god at the time) for a march from Qeynos to Freeport. Getting lost, losing the group, running into Neriak thinking it looked interesting, and losing my corpse forever. That was a delete and restart the char. [You must be logged in to view images.

It does. You will deal an average of 15% higher dps from behind the 180 degree line due to lack of secondary mob defenses like dodge, parry, riposte, etc.

I think he means "I'll hit the mob for more if I angle my screen to the left so my weapon doesn't have to reach so far".

Atleast, that's what I used to believe! That, and that distance mattered (ie being closer made you hit for more / get hit for more, further back did less).

I petitioned to a GM after I handed in my newbie letter to join the freeport paladin guild and < Knights of Truth > didn't appear next to my name.

I just recently got the spell Cure Disease, a level 5 cleric spell. I'm 56.

My first character on Live was a mage, and I'd summon 20+ water/food because every time I camped for the night the next morning all of my food and water was gone. I thought my character was eating it all overnight.

I turned in 160 Red Wines to the dark elf in Neriak Library by clicking the stack, deleting the numbers and replacing it with 1 to get one out of the stack at a time. You can do the same thing by holding CTRL and clicking the stack. >[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a noob on Live I remember thinking that Clerics could cast regeneration spells, and I was sad that they'd always ignore my requests for it.

Also on Live, I thoroughly believed the myth that if you talk in /say in Plane of Sky too much, the crazy Halfling and his band of wild Pegasus would reign death upon you and your raid.

In Velious, for the majority of my time playing I was under the assumption that it was called "Siren's Ghetto" and not "Siren's Grotto."

Every time you ate a muffin manually by clicking on it there was a .002% chance you'd find money or a prize.

This one is true: If you go to the chess board in Butcherblock after 18+ sleepless/non-caffeinated hours, the woo-woop-woo-woosh sound is actually saying "Play-Ev-er-Quest" over and over.

well, this first one isn't thatn ewbish... it's not like they ever tell you that you can do that. I didn't know you could do this until some point on p99 when someone told me.

I kinda wish it were true, it would add a lot of spice to boring raids.

I had the usual moments when Dr. Kevorkian channeled himself through me - clicked DE mask next to guards, tested out a PBAoE next to the guards, drowned because I was ducked and wtf why can't I swim up?

My biggest duh moment might have been the time I ran 7 zones including a boat ride to get to a zone my cleric was already bound in.

One time my guild was raiding the Hole and we were taking a break at the big swimming pool in the city. Our guild leader went AFK but put himself on autofollow to a paladin in case the raid moved. The paladin then decided to do a few laps of the pool....
