*grin* Its only since Kunark came out that I've finally started
pulling out of this state myself. And I still have some characters
within it (I can't seem to stay put with one character.)

I HATE littering. If I see baggies on the ground I pick them up (and yes,
I save fishing grubs. Use them to fish with and you can turn them into 2s
each!)
It is only coppers i, reluctantly, destroy.
And if I was that close to a city, I'd go back to the city myself instead of
destroying. Right now, I'm mostly fighting in Frontier Mountains in Kunark.
(And mourning every copper I destroy. I pick up the coppers and silvers of
others and only dest when I get to, like, 94/80)

But better to play with anyone than to sit aorund lookin for a perfect
group. But yeah, I play to have fun more than to level. So.

I have been lucky lately to find groups with the same people repeatedly.
That is when personality starts to matter. Class matters when you have three
tanks and really desperately need a cleric to reduce downtime -- you can
handle
everything you are doing. But you need somebody to reduce downtime (Bard
works.
Heal song is better htan nothing. i've even been known to take a paladin
on heal-duty when desperate :)
