Tips in EsreverFollow

1.) Hit the mezzed mob.

2.) Kill Steal. A lot.

3.) ooc, gsay, say, tell, and guild have no meaning. Use shout - ALWAYS.

4.) Buy your character from Ebay. Make sure he is super high level, too, so you can learn really quickly how to play the game.

5.) No player can even call himself an Everquester unless he has begged everyone for everything. Do it. If you quest for something, or try to earn it yourself, you aren't playing correctly.

6.) CLERICS - go AFK, constantly, but don't put your tag up, or let anyone know. Your group has a LOT going on right now, in the middle of that raid, they don't need to know something pointless like the fact you aren't there.

7.) Don't EVER try to find out something for yourself by reading a board, or asking a question. You shouldn't be reading, anyway, you should be begging and Kill-Stealing.

8.) Groups that you are not in LOVE unexpected trains. Make sure you bring them as many as you can bring, and give NO warning. The challenge is what drives us!

9.) Get all the way to your 50's and 60's without maxing your spell skills. Actually, don't even start to cast until then. Little known fact - those fizzles that you keep having are actually a secret defense mechanism that will bring furry bunnies to your aid if you get in trouble.

10.) Cast Fear in LDoN's. PLEASE.

11.) Wizards - Cast every nuke you can AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as fast as you can.

12.) Rangers, Warriors, Paladins and Rogues can cast Temperance, Virtue, Conviction, and C1-C6. Don't let those selfish morons tell you that they can't. DEMAND THOSE BUFFS!

13.) Tell EVERYONE how to "play their class," especially if you have NEVER played that class before. You can guess how to do it just as well as anyone.

14.) All those top-end raiders, with all the cool gear? They did a real simple quest at level 1 in their home city to get it all, including the flags.

15.) If someone calls out "LOM," it means you aren't pulling fast enough.

Anyone else have some good Tips in Esrever?

3) AFK
4) Profit!

I actually did once spend an incredibly boring Old Hate raid years ago singing mana, /following the wizard and reading the paper

[li] Everyone wants to buy your Rusty Short Sword for 200pp They just missed your /auction. Try advertising it in /ooc /gu /shout /say /flagraids every 15 seconds.

[li] The In game casino is boring. Make up your own casino with the most as[b][/b]snine odds you can think of. The more obscure the better like roll a 1 433 if you get a 233 then you can roll again 1 899 with a chance of hitting 110 divide that by 4 then multiply by the amount you bet minus the current time GMT and that is what you win if I roll a 43 out of 743. Then advertise this in all the previously listed channels every 7 seconds between your auctions.

[li] Everyone wants to be in your guild, and nobody likes to wait to be asked, invite everyone you run by in PoK/kurns/pc, Keep inviting them in case they accidently close the invite box.

[li] random on everything that drops unless it is valuble, if something anyone else is interested in drops, hurry up and pull before everyone else is done rolling, especially if you are not the puller.

[li] /hump or /bite every female toon in your group several times a pull, when he/she makes a rude gesture at you ask them to ingame marry you.

[li] link every piece of gear you have in every group no matter how inane it is, insist how it is better than everyone elses, in detail

[li] If ever in a disagreement be sure to let the person know that your brother is a GM and he is going to BaN Ur AZz!!! Then let the entire zone know how much of a cheating loser the other person is every 3 seconds between your auctions and casino spam

i don't know if we can get more evil than destroying people's loot they've been working on but lets hear other's lol

Request help for your epic, reminding everyone how you've been there to help them on theirs, and now it's your turn. Invite all your allies, friends, and guildies, picking a day and time when most will have to forego other raids and functions. When all are assembled and in the raid, ready to be OTM, ask in /RS, "Does anyone know how to start my epic?"

a Qeynos elfs way to be Esrever (look at qeynos in esever)
100. people love spam! sending people random spamms makes their day!
101. keep asking a druid for a port you know they cant go to and say they r lieing if they cant.
102 say random things in /shout, /ooc.in fact, every chat channel too!
103. spam the chanels!
104. buy buy.

steal aggro off of everyone else if you're a warrior. regardless of how many thousands of hps they have, and regardless if they have a chain on them.

My favorite scenario...

X. Don't EVER read your group chat messages. All you do in the game is kill things--this doesn't require communication. Everyone else realizes this and is not talking to *you* with their messages.


XX. If you are a melee and not tanking, you should use every skill you have, like taunt and disarm, so the mob dies quicker. If it attacks you, it's because the tank is slacking. Don't worry, the healer will keep you alive.

XXX. Again, if you are a melee, make SURE you attack the mob from the front, especially if it hits very very hard. This is so slash it in crucial points like the chest and arms, making it attack less. The cleric will love it because that means they dont have to do anything.

Here are some things that have actually happened to my rl best friends brother <who is only about 10 and naive>

*When you win a roll on a rare drop make sure you /q to make sure you can equip it. /q lets you see if you can equip it and if it is an upgrade for you.

*If someone tries to bind you, trust them that its a good place to bind. Its not like they will bind you underneath a mob or on the bottom of an ocean.

*Get in a guild as soon as possible. Guilds are there to teach young players how to play and dont mind having constant questions from noobs. Hey they have experience why not pester them until they share it?

*Make sure that you carry extra crappy gear in your backpacks so when an item drops you can claim its an upgrade, even if its not.

*Get to LvL 70 in 2 weeks. Most players dont care if you know how to play a class. Its not like a LvL 70 cleric should know about his CH or any of his HoT's. His minor healing just gets better as he levels.

*Casters can only cast if they have their gear on them. If you see someone <Cleric/Shaman/Enchanter> in PoK naked waiting for rez they are completely unable to cast buffs until they get their body back. Their spells are on their equipment.

*If your a caster make sure you melee when out of mana. Mana comes back eventually even if fighting, and hey why not make the cleric out of mana too? Serves him right for being in better control of his mana.

*Guilds are like goodwill stores. Join a guild, go shopping in their guild bank, take everything you can use and leave the guild and join another. Rinse, repeat. Hey its not like they care or anything.

Here is MY personal favorite cause it is happening to me.
*Realize that if you are not level 70 then you should not expect any help from your guild on raids and epic quests. Hey it doesnt matter that you spent all the time farming/factioning/questing and are ready for the final turn in. You have to get to lvl 70 to show the guild your worth helping. Then you should help everyone else from start to finish who was 70 before you then get help.

*Make sure that you carry extra crappy gear in your backpacks so when an item drops you can claim its an upgrade, even if its not.*
------------------------------------------------------------

Ouch. I think I've been a victim of that one - I never would have thought to even DO something like that!

Ooh I have one:
After joining a group tell them you have to to afk for a moment, then continue your normal activities around the house. You will still get XP and your group will be happy to share since after all, a full group gets a 20% xp bonus, so it doesn't really matter if you're there helping or not. Take your time.

My fave, run thru a zone yellin /ooc to see your exp bar as numbers instead of a bar type /ex and hit enter... watch people vanish like flies

*The Bard songs with the hearts for icons do NOT regenerate mana, no matter what the Bard says. When your group's level 50+ Bard is singing and you don't see the level 21 mana song's icon, repeat "mana song plz" constantly.

*Click off every spell that hits you and has "Recourse" at the end of its effect's name. These spells are bad to have on you, even though every other bad spell in the game CAN'T be clicked off.

*When the Necromancer slows an undead mob, immedietly cast your inferior general slowing spell to cancel it out. Ths will give the Necromancer his mana back, and help the tank raise their defense skills when the mob hits faster.

*Make sure the monster faces the Rogue at all times.

*Ask the Dark Elf with the robe and a skeleton next to him for Clarity. The ones who're in skeleton form have an especially higher class of Clarity.

*And, this is most important one--when you're pulling, ALWAYS bring the monster straight to the casters, so they can have better aim with their spells.

never say thank you or please or hello or goodbye, as this is so last season...
