My level 7 dark elf cleric, Ahmaura, is going to make a wish. I probably don't deserve to have it granted as much as other new players, as people here have already shown me plenty of kindness by giving me money and gear (on all three of my characters, 18 rogue, 7 cleric and 5 paladin). I have 3 main characters sort of, and I intend to level them all to 60 and raid casually. Ahmaura was given a Charred Guardian Shield, bronze arms and BP, and some miscellaneous wis gear.
Originally I am from Vallon Zek, and the biggest thing I miss about that server is the fun light RP that so many people engaged in. The first Ahmaura was a dark elf warrior, and with her I wanted to see if I could stir up some interesting drama. At the time, the unofficial but decided upon PvP teams were largely evil team vs. human/short/elf teams, especially in the lower levels, so I decided to run to Gfay at level 1 to have a Drizzt-ish experience. Thankfully found a bind from a nice dark once I got there, and started killing bats near the other newbies.
They killed me. A lot. Elves, dwarves, gnomes and even some other "lights". Twinks, untwinked players, everyone. But I refused to fight back, and I told them that I wanted to make friends and was a pacifist (as I killed bats, wolves, orcs and bees). After a while of them killing me without me fighting back, some of them stopped. We talked, and had fun in tells, and sometimes I would help them dps (it was taboo for darks and "lights" to group, and I couldn't get much done solo anyway). Eventually the Kelethin NPCs started warming up to me, and I could even use their warrior guild. As this happened, the general playerbase in that area started to accept me.
Then the unheard of happened: the self-proclaimed "light team" started to invite me into their groups. We really did become friends, and when other darks came by to start trouble I would plead that they stop, and try to duel them. And when people tried to kill me, my friends asked them to please stop. When a particular group of "lights" refused to leave me alone, my new friends actually attacked and killed them. I kinda started a mini civil war, and it was so great :P
Kinda wish I had stayed with that character, and applied to "lightie" raid guilds.
When not tearing down social barriers, Ahmaura likes pretending she is a necromancer. At the moment this is a little difficult, but she has plans to acquire a clicky necro snare necklace, a robe and some necro-looking held items. My wish is for a dark elf cleric usable robe! Any robe. I don't know much of anything about cleric robes :P
On live, I had one of these:
