Druid's Harmony adds to mana regen..

OMG I forgot all about that. So many people believed that was true! As a ranger I remember being asked to use harmony.

This was actually real but always bugged so it got taken out.

Having a traveller's stone made you drink less water.

All kinds of Ancient Cyclops myths, like more than one cannot be up in the game at a time.

That the first Orc pawn that I killed was now going to have the legions of Crushbone come and kill me. That the vendor's recommendation that "You look like you could use a rusty mace" was a valid recommendation and as such I would see how much it was and then go kill enough crap to buy it only to get Your Class / Diety cannot equip this.

That is awesome. I laughed out loud when I read this. Too funny.

I believed this for the longest time too. I started playing live again a few month ago, and the folks in by group kept telling me it was true. It's still believed even today.

The one I heard, but never believed, was you could practice '/random' to get better and roll higher numbers more often. I would often see noobies randomly rolling as they camped orcs in the commons.

That the first and last one who rolls (/random 1 100) gets a higher chance to a high number. I kinda still believe this, i always tried to roll at first on important items (still do) and was pretty lucky with it lol. Now you know my trick! [You must be logged in to view images.

Even though I now KNOW it has no bearing on miss rates, I still swing around to get on higher ground when I melee.

I've got the highground anakin!

I remember believing that Agility really was the best stat for a Ranger and I loaded up on it when I made my main.

LOL! That one is so ingrained in my mind, I still somewhat believed it when I started playing on this server. I've since figured it out again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
