I know this article might not hold the interest 90% of EverQuest players I
feel it will provide a few fun ideas for some of you.
Idea Number One: DO THIS NOW. Make a new dark elf necromancer named
Pancake. Choose to start in Paineel. Walk outside of your starting city and
jump into The Hole. Last time I did this I was killed BEFORE I hit the
ground by 'mobs' casting on me.
Idea Number Two: Make a new character (human monk maybe) named
Imsofugginglost. See how far you can get into Naggie's Lair. Made even
better if you spend the time to get feign death. The possibilities are
endless when you want to explore.
Idea Number Three: Get your newbe quest armor, the complete set. Wear it
on your main dyed rainbow. This will costs you MAYBE an hour and several
hundred platinum (for the dyes). It's unlikely, though, that anyone will
know the names of the newbe armor so you can b/s them and tell then it's a
brand new tailoring/smithing recipe.
Idea Number Four: Lead your OWN events for lowbes and/or establish a casino
that deals in more than just platinum. Great ideas for events include
massive newbe raids on Crushbone Castle. Can 20 properly buffed level 1's
take the castle? Have a massive "Hole" jumping spree (from idea number
one). As for the casino... if you want to share the wealth offer up some
of your tribute trash to lowbe characters.... But they have to win them.
You'll make more this way than selling to merchants at the very least.
Idea Number Five: Guildwar. I have yet to see a properly done guildwar.
Guild A should take over something easy like Crushbone Castle or Estate of
Unrest. Then Guild B zones in and tries to take it from them. There might
be a little more tactic involved eliminating some well geared and THINKING
targets than a mob with a set way of life and about a million guides written
about him.
Idea Number Six: Start a collection. Its extremely simple to expand your
bank space with 10 slot toolboxes bought in Plane of Knowledge. You should
have more than enough room for your own collection of
heads/skulls/bones/MQable Items/clicky toys. I'd be impressed if someone
linked me thirty or so heads from his bank.
Idea Number Seven: Roleplay a character. You might find it more involving
than anything you've ever done. Don't "twink" him... don't group him with a
dark elf necromancer if you are a high elf cleric. Develop a background and
become known for being either chivalrous or malicious.
Idea Number Eight: Have naked races across norrath. Have drunken races
through Kelethin. Have naked newbe kos races through ANY town. Everyone
should partake in a skinny dipping event... maybe an impromptu hold your
breath contest. Do the last two in lava if you're real hard core.
Idea Number Nine: Get your whole guild drunk. Race to 200 in alcohol
tolerance. Maybe have a drunken brawl.
Idea Number Ten: Stage a siege against your guild's main tank in an arena
with level one naked characters.
Idea Number Eleven: Share your random thoughts with the masses after
reading hundreds of disappointing posts by flamers across multiple message
boards. Hope that one of your readers cracks a smile and takes your advice
to heart and enjoys playing his favorite GAME.
