Well this sucks. Lost Bonecrusher and Dragontooth Necklace which I got two days ago, Fighter Torso when I hate BA, Rune Defender so i'm down to having one left, and Whip/Full Slayer Helm/D boots. Rage ensues.
Seemingly overnight, tales of the bearded lady had grown. Whispers spread from site to site, telling tales of the woman with a beard, who was a dental nurse by day, and runescape fanatic by late-afternoon til slightly-before-dusk-before-she-has-to-go-to-bed-before-work-the-next-day. Word spread until that fateful day, when you could find her, as the third hit when typing 'runescape bearded lady' into Google Images.
We thank you Tabt, for bringing your beard and your extra hits to this wonderful Realm.
Trying to write a 5000 word essay on the origins of the First Crusade. Tracking down accurate sources from various Benedictine Monks, Byzantine soldiers and French peasants is a pain in the rear.
I never found the Runescape community to be all that nice to lower levelled players. Elitism, insults, general abuse, the like. Not to say that WoW as a whole is any different, but so far I have had nothing but good stories of people wanting to help.
It started off with a couple of people here and there who spotted I was doing certain Quests that they deemed I needed help with. My instinct was to just scoff and say 'no need to worry guys, i'll be fine' but I thought i'd give it a go as they were offering, and true to their word they didn't want anything return. Then yesterday, me minding my own business running through Stormwind, a level 60ish Death Knight calls me over and shouts 'hey, wanna boost?' I was sceptical at the time, harbouring memories of previous scammers in Runescape with similar calls, but then I remembered that you can't really lose items in WoW so I thought, 'wow, this could be really cool' and so I agreed. We ran off to meet up with his pal, and then we were off to a dungeon.
Leeching in style
It was truly awesome. I got XP for doing nothing, a ton of money that looking at my invent now is probably 20-30 times what I had 2 days ago, and 2 fantastic new friends. Lucky for me they really enjoy doing the Dungeons as they can pwn everything in sight, and they enjoy that I get so much excitement from just being there. Asking for nothing in return, they're giving me tips, telling me where to train, and both of them have given me huge (for my level) sums of money without my even asking. When I mumbled that my bag was full, one of them gave me a Journeyman bag, effectively doubling my invent space.
Nowadays there's little you can do in Runescape in the way of helping out new players material wise. But as I recall, not too much of this seemed to go on even before trade limits were brought in. There are the occasional good souls who go out of their way to help others, but over the years, these sorts of events have been few and far between. I have been on WoW for less than a week, and I must have had at least 6 or 7 different people help me significantly.
My right hand and leg is busted up from coming off my bike stitches and all , find it really difficult to type so i'll probably do little more than lurk for the next couple of weeks. Having it redressed in a week but them im on holiday for a week so itllk be on all thsat time.
excuse my spelling but its a real struggle :( beave yourselves!
Going with my dad, uncle and a few of my dad's friends. They're surprisingly good tempered and funny for balding middle aged men, when I climbed Ben Nevis with them it was great. Will be sure to take pictures, back on monday!
