Stupidest things you've done after no longer being a newbie

Post by Nilaman »

What are the stupidest thing you have done in EQ after you were no longer a newbie.

Here is an example of one of the many stupid things I have done since my newbie days:

Recently I was running to seb to go play with the frogs. I was taking the book and so I went from the field of bones to EJ, and having done this all the time I ran right off the edge of the EJ cliff to my death.

Swearing it was a fluke I ran right off the cliff to get my first corpse, and at that time I made a second corpse right next to it.

After that I decided to hop down slowly.

Evacced a group out of a raid. :evil:

I think every druid/wizard has made that mistake at one time or another though...

I played a dwarf for the majority of my time on EQ and the single thing that I always found embarrassing was trying to get ON the boat at Freeport. I'd almost always end up in the water on the first try. Very enfuriating.

I usually mem Gate in the same spell slot as Ferine Avatar. A few times during a fight I've been asked for FA and gated myself out of the battle.

The key is to get back w/out anyone noticing. If you experience a canni death there's always someone that notices the suicide message.

Continually cast Kazad's Mark instead of Word of REstoration. SImilar icons.

I kept that one to myself. Everyone lived so all is well.

I trusted a ranger to lead me through the ToFS like 2 weeks into Velious. She ended up leading us to EVERY fucking pit trap in the place. It was uncanny.
