Well, it is darn good to have Ent back, even if my attempts to help him gain XP by duoing the bloodgill goblins instead netted at least three deaths for the hapless enchanter. But good fun. Got me playing again for the first time in several weeks. Some other items of note: 1) Congratulations on our major-select types! Sadly, as I was forced to meet the board with a separation date on file, I shared the same fate as the other two huey guys on this base who met the board with separation dates and was passed over. Motivation is at an all-time low, but what the heck, all my friends made it, and that's a happy thing. 2) Freelists doesn't allow it, or I would post a screenshot of my blue-clad butt hangin' with my lizard homies at the front gates of Cabilis *cough*quest exploit*cough*. Max faction with Legion of Cabilis, Crusaders of Greenmist, Cabilis citizens, Cabilis merchants. They plugged the hole in the quest, but it was interesting to take advantage of it (I am still KOS to the shaman/necro folks, though); just interesting to see how these things work sometimes. 3) For more tales of someone who REALLY exploits the system, I direct your attentions to the pages of "Fansy the Famous Bard", at the web address http://www.notacult.com/fansythefamous.htm ... quite frankly, Fansy is too much of a professional ass for me to actually *admire*, but I totally respect both his ability to exploit holes in EQ and his ability to be deliberately obnoxious. Makes me glad that we don't play on Sullon Zek or any other pvp server, but anyone who can train that well at only level 5 deserves at least some respect ("without the poetry skills of Robert Frost I can not describe this 25+ giant train in words")... or who used the Priest of Discord and a minor bug in charming and assists to wipe out the entire town of Rivervale: Kelton says out of character, 'wtf happened here' Xebz says out of character, 'KELTON FAST GET OUT' Kelton says out of character, 'lol naw' Priest of Discord shouts 'Let this fool's meaningless death be a reminder to you all that the power of Discord is absolute!' Kelton has been slain by Priest of Discord! ...definitely at least worth a read, and damn funny at times even if the general reaction winds up being "wow, this guy is the most cheerful jerk I have ever seen." 4) Still won't be playing much this week, although interest is starting to rise again, and I do think I can make L27 by the time we play again. No promises, though. -->VPutz
