Also in MMO's, especially in one as brutally unforgiving as classic EQ, you NEED friends and a decent reputation.
If you are know throughout the server as the server dick that abandons groups at the first sign of trouble, camp steals, etc, etc, you will be tagged as such. Soon you will find yourself struggling to get group, as someone in the group will probably know of your shenanigans and inform others.
If its really bad you might find yourself in dire need of corpse recovery help and people would rather see your gear rot in the bottom of a dungeon then help you.
Unlike some of the current MMO's there isnt enough population and "random grouping" for you to remain anonymous long enough, and when you need 20-30 other people to get the good gear, your in trouble if your a dick.
