Advice: How hard is it to be evil?

[Baler]

Carry 8 stacks of food and 8 stacks of water. Delete copper and silver.
Use invis to get to a bank. Use the camera trick (f9) to bank almost anywhere.
Be sure to con the usual suspects.
You're ready to be evil.

It's really not that hard with modern day knowledge of the game. Far easier than it was back in 1999.

Thanks all. I was debating Troll Shaman and may give it a shot... I mean worst case I die to a guard too many times and then just roll a Barb.

I appreciate the imput.

Being evil is the most fun I had in this game. And I am doing it again when Green launches. I think you should try it. You just need to tread carefully. Not many people can handle it. Seriously! Come join the dark side. We have cookies!

Race wont matter for shaman come kunark and that's me saying this, someone who has argued over shm race for years. I've seen excellent people play shaman with all 4 races. The first solo artist shm was a barb as further proof.

Yeah, they all have great perks. Barbs get that nice hammer (though I guess it'll be really rare on green). Ogres get FSI. Trolls get regen. Iksars get regen and AC bonus and stuff (though it's a shame no JBB).

I've always been partial to ogre shamans (more for how hideous the females are than the FSI though) and troll shamans (again, because I love how hideous they are, but regen is nice too). Slaughter those goodie-goodie townsfolk and guards!

One massive perk to being evil is you can kill more npcs than a good.
Example: Felwithe and kaladim guards are okay plat

What this guy said. I found being an enchanter who wants to keep good faction more restricting then being an ogre shaman.

Being Evil is great! Like for example, Neriak is super-cool, all blue and purple and shit, with neon even! It's like a club, you feel nice and exclusive, and they don't let in smelly gnomes and other riff raff. The Cristal flows all night, Dark Dogg is on the turntable, it's nice. Then you go outside, you got the Newbie Log where you form life-long friendships over cracked staff looting rights. You go by the pyramid, meet your first mummy, check out the cool fish in the river, see that path, where does it go? Oh it's getting brighter out here, looks like a nice place, I see bears and pumas and beetles, some kind of merchant hut, and then you hear:

That's it, swine! You're outta here!

Look, you're back at the Newbie Log, how did you get here?

I (almost) always played DE, THAT is exactly how it works out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But being evil is not that hard, just be always aware of dangers, like you should be in EQ anyway.

1. rule: Handle EVERYTHING like it wants to kill you
