Another unique feature of SZ were "Insignias". If you killed another player who was within +/- 5 levels of you, they would lose experience and you could loot an Insignia (an item with a coin graphic and which was stackable) of their god. The insignia type depended on level. I believe under level 30s dropped lesser insignias, 30-49 normal insignias, and 50+ greater insignias. So for example, if you were a level 51 Necromancer and killed a level 47 Bard, you could loot all his plat and also an "Insignia of Veeshan." If you then killed a level 52 Druid, you might loot a "Greater Insignia of Karana." The insignias could be turned in to an NPC for potions (IIRC corpse summoning potions?).

Due to their coin graphic, insignias also gave rise to the SZ-specific terminology of "coined", which meant that you killed someone within 5 levels of you, and thus cost them XP and looted all their plat and their insignia (i.e. "Fatso the Druid down and coined in Eastern Wastes!").

'Down and coined' referred to defeating an enemy so thoroughly that you had time to loot them instead of running away from their friends.

oh, I thought that term was coined because you had enough time to teabag them with your coinpurse.

This may have been how the phrase was used in later iterations of EQ PvP, but as far as I know the specific terminology of someone being "coined" originated on SZ, and had to do with looting the insignia (coin graphic) rather than looting their coinpurse/plat (which you would also loot at the same time you got their insignia).

I found my sullon zek toon.

I made it when the server was new, I think.

Bertox human SK. I remember migrating to The Warrens and grinding molars for ringmail armour. I think i resumed playing him after a while and picked up a few pieces of equipment. Sometimes I'd play him on sick days. I only got to 15!
