I used to be a little scammer back in the day. Before the transfer slots in banks, I would pretend to buy items from people. The ol' meet up and say, "oh noooo, I have the rest of the plat on my other toon, but this item is for this toon." So, I'd give them like 100p for a 1k item, they'd trade the item, then I'd have a friend do a transfer for me to put the item on one of my actual characters. I was kind of stupid and thought if I deleted the character and deleted their file in the EQ folder, the GMs wouldn't be able to trace it. I never got banned though, so YEEHAW.
Anyway, fast forward a year or so since I started doing this shady stuff and I'm over at a buddies house who also plays EQ. He goes to watch a show and passes out on the couch, but left himself logged in on the character select. So I logged on one of his alts that had a Wurmy in their bank and transferred it over to one of my characters. I thought it was a fairly good plan since he hadn't used it in a while. Later that day, he gets back on (while I'm still there), logs on his alt and wanted to bring his other weapons to test the damage. Realizes right away that his Wurmslayer is missing and takes him about 5 minutes of searching to start thinking it was me who took it. To settle it, I had to give the item back or the plat I got for it (can't remember if I sold it) and we did a 1v1 LARP battle, where we could choose what classes we'd be from EQ and duke it out. He chose monk with two plastic bats and I chose a druid, thinking I could kite him. Right away cast snare, he says resisted, then proceeds to beat the shit out of me with two bats. I don't steal or scam anymore. #lifelessons | ||

Anyone remember the firepot scam? I made sooooo much money off that.
Back in the day you could drop money on the ground. And it wouldn't give you a message like "are you sure you want to drop this?", it would just drop. Also, fire was considered a wall of sorts, so you couldn't easily click on someone of they were sitting in fire. So what you did was sit in one of the big ass firepots in the EC tunnel and auction off some expensive item for a sweet deal "WTS fungi tunic, 35k, need to get it sold!" and you'd get replies quick. Tell them to come meet you at the firepot in the tunnel. They'd come on over, go to trade their money to me, click the fire instead of my character, and the money would drop to the ground. At that point you're already mid camp and waiting to snatch it before you log off. I always did it on my little brothers account in case I got in trouble, but I never did. Once he found though out he went to like 15 different servers and scammed hundreds of thousands of plat to sell on ebay. Shortly after he did that there was a patch to fix it. Good times. Kids are assholes. Wait...so are adults... | ||

I played EQ all throughout high school. Summer months would involve work and band practice and sleeping in the basement for the summer. Made it easy to play until 6am without my parents knowing.
I also dated the same girl throughout this time. I'd make time for her and all, but we dated for five years (in high school and first year of college), so things had begun to wain. As the relationship started to fail, I would definitely opt to raid over having sex. Quarm was waiting! | ||
