Stupid things you believed about EQ way back then

[Sjet]

People kept saying "mobs" and I assumed that meant there was a huge group of things you had to kill >_<

Right after epics were put in, you could give Brother Zephyl a lantern and he would hit for like 5 - But that did not last long...

I saw a post in the Bugs section because someone was complaining that guards in West and North Karana don't attack Werewolves. Someone mentioned the old myth that the guards were in fact werewolves and that they would change into them now and then. Heh!

There was another hidden zone under Akanon (through a tunnel underwater) and the clockwork dragon lived there. Multiple theories on how to access it (including having people stand on the windmills and click the windmills to stop them all spinning at once, or standing by the little greenish yellow cube "lights" in the zone that spin when you click them).

The clockwork dragon had been a piece of EQ lore from the start (there was a book in game talking about how it defended the gnomish city from a real dragon attack, but was damaged in the process).

That a ranger should eat a DT because they are just going to die anyway.

Oh wait, that is true.

That snow bunnies in Eastern Wastes had an ultra-rare Lucky Rabbit's Foot, a high charisma range item. I slaughtered thousands.

That pirates boarded the boats and slaughtered newbs that were traveling.

I heard the same lol.

I always thought that distance to a mob was important when swinging a weapon. When I played one of my two alts, a lvl 10 dwarf warrior, I was compelled to keep his axe swinging through the target lest I miss hits. It was weird because some times when I scooted it, it worked for 3 or 4 swings lol.

I also believed this!

A couple of other things:

Turn "Hit Misses" OFF in the settings would actually make you hit more.

Also believed that a low level version of Firiona Vie would spawn in the FV Fort a couple of times a year and would drop a random kunark epic weapon.
