Worst thing I can remember doing was leaving this punk pally behind in Howling Stones. That zone can be hell all alone without a way out.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Back during the first week I began to play I was in West Freeport watching this huge battle (at the time I didn't know what it was) anyways, they were killing Lucan's remains for the paladin epic requirement. Once they finished they were all standing around the corpse for like 5 minutes. I thought they had finished and went to see if I could loot the corpse for any loot.

I looted the entire corpse, and destroyed what I thought was a useless note..

Needless to say I was flamed, horribly. But afterward they petitioned a GM, I explained I had no idea, and they made a copy of it and gave it to the guy completing the quest. We all had a laugh when the whole thing was over.

Plane of Tactics...not War.

I made the same mistake a few weeks ago and was corrected.

Funnest thing I ever did back in the day, was hang around cabilis till I found me a lowbie and tell them to follow me to grand master glox. Promise them great rewards if they target him and say, 'I am ready' (they teleport into a locked room with a level 40ish version of Glox, where you have to loot the key from him to get out)

Picked up a bag full of gear that fell to the ground between two people just before kunark released (on live),.. it had several pieces of ivy armor and two SSoY. Couple days later my account had a several day long ban on it ><

Guy I knew went on vacation for a week and let me "borrow" his fungi tunic in early velious. We didn't see eye to eye for the rest of our EQ careers.

Bought platinum for the first time from the chinese farmers, the guy that came to deliver it spoke very poor broken engrish. The total was 300k worth. As soon as I got it, I sent the 'company' and email stating that I never recieved payment and they sent me another 300k. (somewhere around luclin/early PoP)

My main character for the longest time was a monk, so.. naturally there were many people and groups trained when I felt slighted or just wanted a camp.

Ahh the teenage days

That chinese story almost made me cry.

I once held a raid in KK and it went horribly wrong in Phinny's room. I did a quit evac and everyone made it out but a druid that was afk. We all left after that and I never knew what happened to the druids corpse.

I ran a Vox pickup raid in order to get a white dragonscale

as a druid.

There were four bards. Two scales dropped so I felt less guilty.

Sold the thing for a fortune to some lazy Da'kor (or was it Midnight Fury?) guy who was twinking out a bard for resist songs in NToV. I twinked out a rogue, which was the big mistake. Should've spent it on a monk or shaman as it was early Velious.

Whole server found out about it and was up in arms. I'd coerced 60 people into wasting hours of their time for my own personal gain, and nothing worthwhile dropped for anyone else but one bard (2 scales, bracelet, useless horn).

I'd excused the whole thing to people by claiming that I wanted a cloak (this was mere weeks before focus effects were patched in). They said they'd have a bard trade me a cloak for the scale. I declined, and after buying the cloak with my ill-gotten gains I still had a pile of plat left over. I then later sold that cloak when focus effects came (it had spell haste 3) for 50k more than I bought it, then when the focus on it got changed (ID3, not nearly as useful) bought it again and pocketed a 40k difference. Ended up with almost 100k in profit from that raid, for so little effort.

I was 15 at the time so I was inordinately proud of pulling it off.

I am jealous. I had hoped I'd be able to run this scam on any pickup raid I've ever done.

In hindsight I'm glad I never had the opportunity to because your reputation on Rodcet Nife was on blast for every thing you did, good or bad.

I never did anything that bad honestly.. only to people who deserved it..

I once sat for a few hours looking for Brother Zephyl to spawn because a friend and I wanted to try and trio it. I was waiting for him to get online and a 12 person mini-raid showed up to down him for some level 52 Monk so he could get his epic. This was back in the day when you could give a 2HB to BZ so he wouldn't dual wield.

I had asked them to give me a few minutes for my friend to get online since I had been there before him and he was apprehensive and said he wanted to just kill him now. I asked a mage in the zone to summon me some weapons. I gave them to BZ to force him out of is 2HB. Needless to say they weren't sure if they could kill him anymore since he was going to be quadding 500.

In the end they ended up allowing us a shot at BZ after I explained it was three of us. The people there were laughing at us and telling us it was impossible to kill him with only three people. (I believe it was during POP era) We had the 61 (or 62? Air pet) with a 60 Shaman and 60 Cleric. We literally just all chain casted heals on the pet until the damage shield dropped him lol. I ended up looting the ROTLC on my level 7 Monk which quickly ported over to Dreadlands to turn it into a Multi-Quested ROTWF .. Needless to say the guy was pissed at us for "wasting" the robe. Which was actually kind of true because I never ever played the monk ever again.

=====

The other time was a training incident where the person deserved it. I had been trio'ing Chief camp in Droga for a few hours and we were the only people in the zone. Suddenly we a get a camp check and we claim Chief. A gnome magician from Legacy of Steel suddenly shows up at the camp and starts up some chit chat with my Magician friend (they apparently knew eachother from some point). Eventually the Mage invis'd and left us.

Not even five minutes later a Monk from Legacy of Steel show up in the camp and feign deaths a giant train on us. Since I was a necro I just FD'd and survived. My mage friend couldn't gate out in time but gated out his cleric. So there I am laying in the Chief camp with the Monk who just trained us and who shows up? The same gnome magician. He summons a pet and they get ready to clear the camp. My magician friend shows up and uses COTH to get me back to zoneline. So we get the corpse and leave the camp area.. seemingly in defeat.

We were ready to walk away because we knew a GM wasn't going to do shit to a LoS member. I notice the Monk put on an AFK tag. I go check the camp and low and behold.. he is sitting and not FD. I run and grab a huge train.. run in the camp, /wave and feign death. The mage was easily overwhelmed and the AFK monk gets killed. We move back in the camp and continue it as if nothing happened. They show up loot their corpses and leave.

It was a really weird situation. We never said anything to them when they trained us. They never said anything to us when we trained them. No petitions were made and we just moved on killing the camp.
