Accerd

I have all my chars camped in NC down in that corner near the quest guy, Vorkiev.
At the moment, I will be hunting a little further down for faction, cause I noticed last night that I am still threateningly, so I need to correct that.

Folks always welcome to join us, we have 5 bots but are always willing to ditch them for outside company

I feel threatened by the gnome being lvl 65, so anyone who wants can feel free to train him on sight.

Agree Gol about the paladin strengths thing. On the only other game I played before EQ, my paladin was the most powerful of all the classes and I was told that that was normal in role-playing games. Having the most powerful class though had problems in itself. It was twice as difficult to level up the paladin due to the side quests you had to do before you were allowed to gain a new level. The first character I made in EQ was a paladin. I rarely play her, she is a level 32, seriously flawed because I didnt know what I was doing when I made her and is a half-elf. She is borderline useless but I love her.

Exactly. Coming off games like Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights, and the old text games like Rogue and Moria, I was used to the paladin ripping through everything in their path with both spells and weapons. And here come EQ paladins, who're nothing but sponges with healing spells. Makes about as little sense as a warrior doing pathetic damage compared to a rogue. Not sure where Verant/SOE came up with their classes, but they should have stuck to the archetypes, they work.

Out of curiosity, which game were you playing?

You must be different golg, i have seen plenty of pallies who are absolutely awesome tanks, they hold agro like no ones business, i think you need to give yourself some time for those aa's and lvls along with gear, im sure you will be pleasantly surprised, at least i hope so

Golgolath · Post by **Golgolath** » Wed 27 Apr, 2005 3:55 pm

When I can charge through huge crowds of monsters and kill them all like other games' paladins, then I will be pleasantly surprised

Don't see that happening any time soon though, unfortunately...

Anyway, back to Fen's original question: you need to get the AA that'll let you turn me into a gnome in combat....

You have to look at it comparitively, compared to all the other eq classes, you can charge through crowds of monsters, imagine a wizzy running into battle, 2 hits and they are dead........

Try high level druid DS and stun agro a bunch of mobs in West Freeport. They die... as soon as they manage to land a hit on you. ;)

Very very happy little gnome here

Did the raid with you guys on Saturday night as well - what a blast - had a little trouble with initial instructions...big thanks to Curtis, Mynxi, Vec, Enctarl (apologise for misspells) and any others i have missed. I just didn't want to stuff it up - little stressed gnome there for a bit

I played Ancient Anguish for 5 years - text based MUD. Maximum level was 19 when I played. If you died you lost a full level and all the associated stats that went with that level. Last time I looked I still had 32 characters, all level 19 and fully maxed. Had combo of all classes and all races.

Use to be a big fan of the MUD games as well, big reason why I was so hooked into EQ, it's like MUD games in 3D

Whats Mud? dirt + water?

varutia · Post by **varutia** » Mon 02 May, 2005 12:22 pm

Darn, I cann't even remember all the names of the MuD I use to play. Still got them saved in a program, lol. I probably played 3 or 4 MuD in a very hardcore fashion, which meant I goto Uni early and leave late just to play, I even travelled to Uni during holiday to play because back then internet at home is really expensive

That's all a long long long long time ago.

Yeah Var, I found a great joy in actually SEEING what's going on rather than reading it

Code: Select all

You have entered a snowy tundra.  
There is a broad based tower in the snow.  
Obvious exits are In, south, west, east, north.
120 80 95 ? >

Now remember the first time you level 2 barbarian ran out and checked out south tower in everfrost.

I remember those buggering Soloist skeletons that used to kill me while I was farming High Quality bear skins to sell to a visiting trader from Freeport. Buggers

Yes but MUD is Multi User Dungeon (i believe).

Ignore Angel, we played MuDs together for years and years before EQ.

LOL I coded a section of a MuD. It's still there. I should expand it actually.
