Ever wondered why you (erm… almost) quit the last time?

It’s actually NOT you…, being a bad player.

It’s the Law of Murphy crawling in your account. So let’s begin explaining.

KQs First.

  • Barely managed to enter the KQ.
  • … but you forgot to restone and you are short on potions.
  • … and you have to die 3 times and restone/repot.
  • You wait  alone for  the next KQ.
  • You wait 30 minute.
  • Alone.
  • Not a single person on the whole map.
  • Of course It fails to begin.
  • Alone

  • Your guildmate entered the first KQ and exited with Victory and blue item.
  • You manage to enter the KQ but there are NOT enough people to finish the boss.
  • You are the only tank and there are no clerics.
  • … or there are clerics, but they fight and die instead of healing.
  • They die exactly 3 times before the boss fight and quit the KQ.
  • … or they refuse to heal and call you n00b.
  • … or they don’t speak English.
  • … and the few words they know are STFU, GTFO and all variations of n00b.
  • … and they adore annoying you.
  • The only cleric knowing what’s expected of him is AFK, because his mom is calling him for dinner.
  • … he arrives in the end, but enters different party.
  • … and/or refuses to heal and revive you.
  • There are only clerics in the KQ.
  • … including yourself.
  • There are only mages in the KQ.
  • … and you are one single lousy fighter or ranger.
  • Everything is alright and none of the above is true but:
  • … noone is inviting you to party.
  • … and/or you DC.
  • You never manage to make the last blow when you need boss-kill quest.
  • … neither anyone in your party.
  • … and all of you actually needed this.
  • … and no one shouted “Let our party make the kill”.
  • … or no one listened.
  • … or someone from other party said “Ooops, sorry”.
  • You level Up, before being able to enter the KQ again to kill the boss.

PVP KQs are even better.

  • Morning PVP KQ is having 4-th and 5-th person entering in the last 1 minute before start.
  • … or it is just You. Alone. And everyone in your guild sleeps.
  • … or is not high enough to enter.
  • The PVP roster says you are first. But in the end you are third.
  • Everyone wants to AFK the PVP when you want to duel.
  • Everyone is AFK when you have bad connection and frequent DCs.
  • If you want to AFK to grab some cheap XP, you DC 100% of the time.
  • … or the PvP bugs and leaves you without XP.
  • … or the PvP bugs and DCs everyone.
  • When you manage to get your connection back, the PVP is over
  • … or you are taken to Elderine/Uruga before it’s over.
  • … or you are locked out alone in the PvP room.
  • … and the GMs are still sleeping.
  • You are the first to die when you are buffed to the teeth, because that guild you hate too much is team-mobbing you.
  • … or It’s your own wife/husband, backstabbing you with 2-3 critts. (Hi hun, missed me?)
  • You managed to get the hammer half second before 3 rangers gang-bang-power-shot you.
  • You managed to get the hammer but You forgot to use speed scroll.
  • Everyone else is having Speed Scroll III.

Party? What’s that?

  • No one is around when you need party.
  • The only ppl willing to party you are low level XP leachers.
  • (They even offer money. 10 silver :D)
  • The most profitable party quests and dungeons are hardest to find party for.
  • You have good party, but all paladins are … in Narnia.
  • In a rough fight, your healer always falls first.
  • … and you following him of course.
  • … or you all died, but he hasn’t put a single Skill point in Revive cast time.
  • … and you are all 5 maps away from city.
  • … and no one is married to anyone, so he/she can use Summon.
  • … and there is a level 105 priest from warring guild gloating around you.
  • … not willing to help of course.
  • Everyone in your party needs his bladder size checked by a physician.
  • … or buy a catheter and link it to the WC.
  • … or learn not to write “AFK”, when she actually plans to read a chapter from Narnia in the WC.
  • When you get something good, everyone wants it.
  • … for his alt.
  • … or for his friend he promised to.
  • Every time there is a good drop for your own class, you either don’t need it, have better or outleveled it long ago.
  • … and can’t fetch a good price.
  • All the good drops are not for your class.
  • … and/or your alt is still to low.
  • … and/or someone else wants it.
  • Every time you almost found all your quest drops/kills, you get ditched by  your party.
  • … because everyone else’s already found them.
  • … or because there is TV show starting somewhere.
  • … or because it’s dinner time in that part of the world.

Soloing. For whoever has the nerves.

Alone

  • The map is never empty.
  • If it was empty five minutes later it’s not.
  • … there is high level ranger with full party of newbies for Power leveling.
  • … I really mean FULL party.
  • Suddenly, they need the same quest drops.
  • … or just pretend to.
  • You are stalked by a newbie player with party invitations and begging.
  • … when you finally accept, just to make him stop he enters his mushroom and goes AFK.
  • … or even asks you to level him a bit while he eats breakfast.
  • … and he has NOT the same quests, so you can have his drops too.
  • You are stalked by a KS idiot who claims it’s “his map”.
  • You are stalked by some “Certified yellow bar clicking expert” who gathers all herbs and ores before you.
  • … and loves to gloat.
  • You die.
  • … you shout “Please revive @ B4, 2 minutes”
  • … and there is no cleric in the same map.
  • … or she is level 19 and does not have revive.
  • … or arrives too late.
  • … or asks for 100 silver.
  • You are really PISSED TO DEATH but all of the above are members of Exhibition guilds.
  • … or you are not Admin.
  • … or your guild master is away/offline/in Narnia/wherever.
  • … and suddenly a GM pops of nowhere and says you should calm down or he will ban you for 1 day.

Trade. Or midday’s robbery.

Empty handed

  • Your spot is always taken by some spam bot or a newbie selling tier 1 potions.
  • You have a full inventory and no one is buying your stuff.
  • You entered one less zero on an item evaluated to 900 silver.
  • You sold an item evaluated at 9 gold for a merely 9 copper, because you did not click the right box.
  • You sold your own +9 weapon because you equipped some cheap level 10 to show off.
  • … To a NPC.
  • Your overpriced scrolls are never in demand.
  • When they are in demand, you actually under priced them already
  • … and someone bought all 5 stacks.
  • … for coppers.
  • Some idiot is selling the same as you on half price.
  • … beside your mushroom
  • … and is actually named his shop “Cheaper than him”
  • Your guild master started a Guildwar while you were in shop.
  • … and of course you were killed.
  • … and again.
  • … and again.
  • … and few more times in the respawn area.
  • … And the GMs were not around.

Game masters. The.

  • When you really need them, they are … in Narnia.
  • When you are killed in your shop, they are … in Narnia.
  • When you are killed in respawn area, they are … in Narnia.
  • When there are scammers in marketplace, they are … in Narnia.
  • When there are gold selling spam bots in the market, they are … in Narnia.
  • When you are in need to kill the Mini Dragon, all 3 of the GMs entered the KQ too.
  • …, to check what’s buggy with the rewards.
  • … and of course refuse to fight the MD or buff anyone.
  • When you are unfair in Guildwar, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
  • When you have killed someone in shop, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
  • When someone provoke you, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
  • When you accidentally kill someone in respawn area, they are … badger chewing your ancle.
