Pits

[eqravenprince]

Alright, that is what I thought. There is no in game skill to detect a pit.

Talk to the EQ devs. Rogues and bards should be able to see this if they are anything like the AD&D classes. Dwarves and maybe gnomes too iirc.

I bump into a Ranger and we are hunting in Frontier Mountains.

I don't know what's worse, hunting with a ranger or falling in pits. Is the pit a metaphor for hunting with a ranger? I don't understand this thread.

Hah I know right? I wish I could get lost and fall in traps I'm not aware of again. Good times! I remember my first trip in Blackburrow, fell through the trap floor in the tree trunk right near zone line and my heart sank when I died, I thought I would never see that corpse again lol. Then the scarey adventure going down to get it with a couple other players. Man oh man to be young again.

On my first trip to Blackburrow I went down that too. Never saw that gear again :/ Gave up that char soon afterwards to start my second and long-time main.

My favorite pit would be the one in Najena that drops you into a locked jail cell. Classic EQ fun. Doesn't seem like all that much fun when it happens to you though.

QFT.

The abstract version of the OP's story has probably happened over a thousand times during the life of EQ: Mid-level characters killing in the relative safety of a Kunark outdoor zone say to themselves, "Let's go kill in a Kunark dungeon," and then they get there and all hell breaks loose. The possible zone combinations in this story include LOIO to Kurn's, FM to Droga, OT to Dalnir, KC to Chardok, etc.

Perhaps my fondest EQ memory came from this sort of experience. I was in a group that was cruising in OT, when somehow we decided to go to Dalnir, without a porter. We eventually ended up on the bottom floor. I can still remember standing at the entrance to that long dining room filled with Kly, realizing that our only hope was to invis up and try to make a run for it. Making that run was quite an adrenaline rush, especially when some of our invises dropped early...

Yeah lol but looking back on it you can't beat that feeling of helplessness this game used to instill in us.
