Subject: Re: EQ - worse rpg ever?


Actually, I have never had that happen to me... the one item I accientally
looted a corpse that was not my turn, I left the item there...The time I
took an item off a corpse that I THOUGHT was mine... I gave him the bronze
item that it had. The time that a paladin (Ehtaw)took my corpse, and I told
him that it was my turn, HE gave me the 3 items it had and said he was
sorry.

My ranger(Galian) friend told me striaght up if I fought an elephant that he
would sit and watch me die(this was after I made a comment, (kidding) that
we should hunt them (I knew Galian would not do it)). We then had a long IC
discussion on Tuanre and the different forms and what her wishs where ect
ect ect... it was fun it lasted over 10 mins just this discussion.

I am sorry you have gotten bad groups... that happens a lot... I have been
really really lucky with the fact that I started out with a couple of
friends going in, and then even more lucky with the fact that I found others
just recently that I now game with as well... and let me tell ya I do have
fun.... the one thing that I do have some problems with is .... Why am I at
this damn bird village and why in the name of Tunare am I killing this damn
birds for... what did they do.... OR

Why am I killing these damn frog guys????? hmmmm

ahh well cant win them all huh?


Jaxim AND his controller...
