i had only ever suffered deaths in world 7.
i dont have many interesting stories about being murdered, just one. been killed by some animals though.
i cant remember the first boar that killed me... i honestly forgot. i remember the second though. it was after i had joined the main village (dragons pass in case anyone cares) back when we had a main and recruitment village set up. animals aggro radius' were a bitch in w7 and even though i see it before hand and turned to run, it aggroed almost immedietly and my newish character just stood no chance. had to wait til late the next day until epic was back on to oath my next character back into the village. this was after i had impatiently made a new character and started my long journey east to find the main village....
one time i died to a bear..... kind of. the bear didnt even land one hit on me. but i ran so fast for so long and was so scared shitless of it i turned swimming on and tried for a tiny island that was a stones throw away from the mainland. my favorite fishing spot too. if i had full stamina i could have made it no problem, but i didnt. and sank like a brick halfway.
the one time my alt was killed, was in the recruitment village of wasteland. my main was already in the main village, i was just gather a few things on my alt in a house before i was going to destroy his hearthfire and village port to dragons pass. unfortunatly, not everyone had earned their way into the main village, these recruitment villages were fantastic for separating the wheat from the chaff as it were, and some of the russian dumbasses who had joined wasteland convinced everyone to stop working on the brick wall, and to raid others. these DUMBASSES, were trying to raid other players using a village as a base, with no brick wall, few buildings, little crops and tools, and with all newish characters. i dont think anyone had a stat or skill over 50. you can imagine how well THAT went. so three days after the counterattack made most of the newbies there quit, i was about to leave the stone mansion my alt was in with the gear i had gathered when a roosky popped in. battleaxe of the 12th bay in hand. he aggroed me, i hit the red x in hopes that i could instantly log to save my alt. that day i learned that you cannot log off during combat.
it wasnt a big loss, they had managed to recover my mains skull from the boar kill somehow, and i wanted it back. but it wasnt to be. my main, has never known death by another player. fortunatly. my rampant overpowering paranoia has kept me safe enough so far.
if i have gained anything from my experiances with other violent players from haven, it is hatred. call me racist if you want but i FUCKING. HATE. RUSSIANS. and the way i see it, if my main were to ever die by another player, a damn ruskies gonna be the one to do it. because that would be my luck.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.
Neither do figuratively and literally.
