Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of desire. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to an artificial, rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated excessively on earthly thoughts. Hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by Greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one attempts to purchase or sell sacraments, including Holy Orders and, therefore, positions of authority in the Church hierarchy.
In the words of Henry Edward, avarice "plunges a man deep into the mire of this world, so that he makes it to be his god." As defined outside Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth. Like pride, it can lead to not just some, but all evil. |
This is an obvious troll. Lets not get to deep and get off topic.

Some people want to actually play everquest not stare at the tunnel 24/7 like some on here

Take the leap on whatever class you want to play. I have seen several shamans (the most expensive class to play) start fresh on the server and get all their coveted spells and gear by 60 ezpz.

Save your pennies. Xp on low end content that has stuff people want to buy (bone chips, orc belts, bear pelts etc) and save your money for buying the things that really matter. Completely new to p99 I had saved about 1800 plat by level 18. For a warrior invest that money in a few cheap but effective weapons and cheap haste like silver chitin handwraps. Resist the urge to spend 50p here ... 100p there on cheap random upgrades until you have a few decent weapons and haste. The rest will fall into place over time. |
