I’m fat and legless…
Well, it’s been a few interesting weeks since I last posted here, and the three main highlights have been Funcom banning MOST of the exploiters, the bank has been fixed, only to get broken again by not being able to take out what you put in, and finally, by actually having some RP happening on the RP server. Davaran, Barnibus, and myself went out to the lich ruins in the Kopshef (sp?) providence, and RP’d out trying to take people’s money and food. We had some nice RP happen, and everyone was good sports about it.
.
On the flip side, while watching a fight between 3 level 20 somethings, I noticed some kid hopping about while swinging at his foe. It was like watching a rabid kangaroo with a claymore. So I smacked him, and killed him. He then brings back a level 30 something Bear Shaman friend to watch his back. He starts hopping around some more, and I smack him again. Only this time, the Bear Shaman starts healing him. So now, I’m fighting Hoppy McHopper from Klan Kangaroo, and his Bear Shaman butt buddy. I eventually white damaged him to death (I couldn’t get a combo off to save my life) and I finished off the running with his bear tail between his legs, Bear Shaman. The screenshot is of the conversation that followed:
I tell you, the next thought that crossed my mind was either this was a gulible 18+ year old, or mommy bought this kid the game. I should have scammed him for some money, but, I don’t want to be known to be “that guy” that hangs around the mentally challenged, but is secretly stealing their pudding.

Early Access is upon us!
(Pardon the lack of paragraphs. This software version has a bug in it)
Well, so far, the early access has been…interesting, to say the least. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when the servers were still down 30 minutes after the EA was supposed to begin, but I assured myself it was just a slight problem, and they’d have them up soon. Soon being 4 and a half hours later. However, I didn’t fret too much, and said to myself that if this is the worst thing that can happen at an MMO launch, then we got lucky.
I was wrong however…
Upon starting the game up, and getting to the server select screen, I noticed something that made my stomach overturn. Funcom, in all their wisdom, neglected to put RP in front of the PvP for the “Official” RP server, Cimmeria. I don’t even have to mention what happened after that, I’m sure most of you could already imagine.
However, it’s not so bad, to be honest. Sure, there isn’t much RP going around, but then again, most clans and players are busy fighting the hordes of griefers, and putting “k3wld00d” guilds on their KOS (Kill On Sight) lists. Desty (Bighead) and myself have been busy kicking ass and taking names. We are currently close enough to level 30 to taste it. You’d be surprised how many fools will attack a Tempest of Set when they think he’s alone, only to get their asses handed to them when Desty turns around and I pop out of stealth. Whether it’s UO, DAoC, one thing is for sure…..
Some things never change.
