Cringy shit from the good ol' days

I remember leading a begging level 3 (i think) half elf paladin into the North Freeport bank vault with a trail of mrylokar's summoned daggers.

I bet his ghost still haunts the Xegony server Nfp bank to this day...

Omg. LOL

Since this literally just happened to me, I'll put it out there: I'm camping somewhere on my own and some guy walks into the camp, runs around between me and the spawns, inspects me without asking, then I get a "click to join the group" message without any polite conversation. This is the kind of behavior that, to me, is the same as a night elf dancing on a mailbox.

On live you can disable the "so and so is inspecting you" so it is a non issue. Here you can't, and I assign a lower maturity value to anyone not asking first.

Not even saying "hello", or "would you like to group" before inviting falls in the same category. I lower my expectations of that individual again.

The horrors of 2hr play time then disconnect, such bad timing always. Reconnect to your bind location >_> Dial Up lol

Something cringey from live was that there was a dark elf family in my guild <United Kingdoms> (Bristlebane). I think the surname was T'Solstice and a bunch of em had it. There was an in depth back story and I even think someone made a family tree!

I was grouped in MM during Velious era and someone in my group tricked me on my monk into locking myself in those cells, problem was the group promptly wiped and disbanded and I was stuck there for like 2 hours before the next group rolled in.

Oh god what have I been doing with my life! *Runs off into the now spam-free Norrath(i?)an sunset*

On second thought, could the whole "may i inspect" thing be derived from the PvP servers where it actually was pretty fucked up to do?

[kaev]

Nah, "may I inspect" was a thing from the beginning. It made sense then, mostly because you couldn't turn the stupid message off since the devs were utterly clueless about the difference in social dynamics between a random collection of 1500 anonymous neckbeards & preteens & perverts online vs. 6 nerds who know each other face-to-face around a table.

I always liked EQ's inspect system - in WOW you couldn't even tell if someone was looking at your gear.

I asked if I could inspect on my first day on p1999 and got laughed at hard. But screw you guys, I'm here for a classic experience.

I still ask to inspect sometimes... I feel no shame in it! More often, though, I'll send a message and ask someone to link me their really nice looking item that interests me.

Any SK or War I see with their epic i almost always ask them to link me it :P Its just badass!
