I don't read that board so let me know what kind of feedback, if any, it
generates. I would think that someone has already posted the idea before in
one of the numerous EQ forums out there. Plagiarism is the highest form of
flattery but if someone has already suggested the idea I sure don't want
them to think I'm stealing their thunder.
Also, is the Guide board the official EQ general topic board or does "Guide"
refer to GM/Guide topics? I used to read the General topic board at EQVault
but got tired of all the rants and flames. If its a good forum I might
start checking it out.
