Hey all you people of Old Blanchy, just wanted to say how great it was to see how willing everyone was to help each other out. I know Paladin blessings are the weakest of the bunch at only 5 minutes but nearly every time I ship a buff off to someone I pass, I’ve gotten one in return. I can’t tell you how many “race for the mining node” conditions have been resolved amicably by helping to clear the mobs and then each taking a hit (heh, heh) from the node and offering to buy/sell the ore and rocks as desired.
I’ve been saved while on death’s door after accidentally face-pulling 2 more mobs than intended, I’ve tried to return the favor. If I’m doing a 10 minute jog across a zone, all that mana’s gonna go to waste, why not stop up and gas up folks as they need it?
It’s the way WoW used to be. Most of my friend base (before I got into WoW) played vanilla EQ and spoke so highly of things like camaraderie and “helping to break up trains” and… yeah.
It’s nice to be playing a real MMO again and not just 3D World of Diablo 2/3 Craft.
