Having a poor sense of direction in a game doesn't mean that someone can't play it. I played with a few people on live, back in the mists of time, who were excellent players but they could get lost in a small room. They solved the direction problem by being druids, and porting everywhere. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I roll only elves for the nightvision. I'm too half retarded to see in the dark in this game ;p

You made a log in to post in this two boxing thread? Nice forum boxing.

You appear to have won the Idiot of the Day award. Please look under my name at the side, and it says when my account was made.

Name calling always gets you big points. Maybe you can farm this thread for some more post counts on that OLD log in account.

I do apologise. It was an awful thing for me to do.

There, now you can apologise for asserting that I am another person "forum boxing", and we can be friends and invite each other round for tea. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Guess you've been playing WoW too long if you think posting one thread in a forum is jumping through hoops.

Last time I played P1999 (about 2010) I wanted to get my wife and a friend that was crashing at our place to try it. I posted a thread and that didn't go anywhere as they lost all their (mild) interest by the time it was addressed (can't find it now so I'm not even sure if it was ever approved/denied).

Yes, don't play a FREE game with a slight chance you may not be able to play the FREE game. I call BS.

Free or not, classic EQ is a large time investment. Spending all the time to level a character only to risk being banned on a whim is not worthwhile. Also, EQ is a hard enough sell to someone who wasn't a gamer back in '99 and has no nostalgia without going into the whole "make sure not to use /follow or go AFK without logging out or we might both get banned".

Maybe she just isn't cut out for gaming, and you could share a hobby she is capable of full participation.

Not everyone enjoys all aspects of a game, doesn't mean they can't enjoy the game itself. She's an awesome healer/DPSer in dungeons but just has poor sense of direction which would be only compounded by dark nights and lengthy, map-less runs. Step our of your elitist EQ vet perspective and realize that there's a huge number of people for which a game without maps and quest markers is alien enough without the threat of random banning for using /follow.

As a female gamer, I took offense to this description of your "gaming wife"

I never said you, or female gamers in general, can't handle a game without using /follow or AFKs. If you're stellar at all aspects of MMOs, great! Most of us, myself included, have areas we are not great at or have RL things that pop up requiring AFKs and /follow.

Confirmed basement dwelling male.

You elitist 'gamers' are all the same. My girlfriend plays a druid (Just hit lvl 16) and she's still new so occasionally she gets me killed because she forgets to tell me when she's out of mana until it's too late, or forgets to re-snare a mob if it's running. I'd still rather play with her any day of the week over one of your kind in my group.

You know perfectly well what you were being picked up on, and it wasn't legitamite cheaters getting banned (as you seem to be making a point of now to change the subject)

Let me requote you.

I know this doesn't help the OP but I'd rather the GMs were too tight on it than too relaxed

I say again, You are alright with innocent people getting banned. It's all for the greater good right? If you got banned for the wrong reason, you would just take it on the chest and not come onto the forums or say anything right?

Thing about bullies is they deal it out but they can never take it.

[Galelor]

People even mentioning AF, similar names, and late heals being signs of boxing have zero clue how EQ is played.

These things have zero to do with boxing, especially on a server where boxing is not allowed.

By the way, to the genius that mentioned late healing, (on maybe page 2 or 3,) in general healing gets much tighter when you box. Think about it...

Instead of petitioning people you believe are 2 boxing, how about you all just play the game...
