Side note on the old pre nerf mask of deception. When I first got into the game I made a Dark Elf SK and couldn't find my way out of Neriak 3rd gate. yeah, we all had that happen.

Anyway, after making it to like level 10 I decided that I didn't like being hated everywhere, and wanted to be a Ranger instead. But I really liked the name I had and the gear I had accumulated (partial small banded, partial tattered leather, a FS longsword and a FS 2h sword + bags).

I decided to try an experiment. I put everything on the character, had a guard in freeport kill me, and then I logged off and deleted my character. I made a brand new level 1 Wood Elf ranger and ran it to the boat in Butcherblock. I took the boat over to freeport and *looted* the dark elf corpse - because my character's name matched.

My friend told me I was full of utter shit but then he inspected me and saw the same crap gear. Word got out, and people that had the pre nerf mask on mid level alts that they knew they weren't going to level suddenly killed them off and re rolled, looting the No Drop mask on their new level 1 characters.

This was on old Fennin Ro server, before the /consent command allowed people to drag your corpse instead of looting what was on it. Sadly a patch swiftly closed off both of those old situations.

One of my first memories was my first char a Dwarf Paladin that had just hit 9 with about the same crap level of gear but upon dying outside Crushbone and not knowing how to get back there someone messaged me and said they would help me get my stuff if I consented them. Anyways they took all of my stuff and I rerolled an evil toon since the people on that side of the world were dicks apparently. So glad that was later nerfed.

Explaining to a Brit chick enchanter in BB why calling us "Yanks" in PM had pissed off my buddy from Alabama.

Had this same conversation with someone on Star Wars Galaxies. lol

Easily done on the Yanks thing, I've done it myself but never had that kind of anger coming back my way.

According to Muricans we all drink tea, sound like Hugh Grant or "House", have bad teeth and various other shit that's just a weird stereotype.

(I do drink tea sometimes, but I don't sound anything like a British actor and have a decent set of teeth [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Talking to a bartender i knew at Applebee's one night and him telling me about this game called Everquest and he was fighting huge Sand Giants that took his whole group to kill....

Went out and bought asap along with the guide. Got home and read that damn guide for hours and hours trying to decide what class i wanted to play.

Finally just picked a woodelf ranger to see the game...my cousin was bustin my balls to just load the damn game so we could see it!

Was fuckin blown away...

Not realizing that NPCs forgot situational KOS as soon as you zoned (or died) and rerolling my first char after accidentally attacking the NPC trainer.

Being elated at the discovery of muffins and milk on vendors (back when most of us were mostly clueless, and newb gear stayed on your corpse instead of respawning with you, keeping stocked on food and drink could be challenging at very low level.)

Politely turning down a DE Rogue's offer to fetch the loot from my Paladin's corpse in the river in Nektulos.

Recovering the gear from an alt I got tired of by jumping off the highest rooftop in Kelethin and then /consenting my main.

Zoning immediately back to Crushbone after fleeing a train, only to be insta-gibbed by D'Vinn because he hadn't reset yet (there were so few textures & etc. to load on zoning in the original game that it only took ~ 10 seconds to zone back and forth between CB and GFay with my "awesome" 200MHz Pentium MMX cpu and Diamond Monster Fusion (Voodoo Banshee) video.)

Thanking a wizard for helping me kill a Lego in CB (he was blatantly trying to KS but didn't realize my gear was better than rusty and started his nuke too late.) Then having the wiz totally miss the sarcasm, to the point that he informed me he "wasn't trying to help."

Buying my first magic weapon and joining the ever-popular Norrath-wide jihad on wisps.

Sitting in Greater Faydark with all of my backpacks in the house next to the bank to show people what I had for sale. Most nostalgic music in the game for me in that zone.

I also played on Drinal and remember your guild! What was it called again? The name of it had Little in it some where if I can remember correctly.

There were two on the server. Imperial Guard of Kaladim was dwarf only. I can't remember the name of the other guild, they allowed gnomes and halflings in theirs.

We never lowered our standards! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
