Dragonbane, great timing, and a pair of Nikes.
Glad I posted that story so I could get one back. Nice fuggin job there.
Fucking Myga, took me a week and half of killing her ph's twice a day till I got her to pop.
I am guessing slow wore off Vulak. Every once in awhile our shamans would space out and down went the MT, immediately I would get summoned and splatted. It was a guild joke, but hey always being number 2 on the hate list was a badge of honor of sorts.

The Ragefire 1.0 incident.
EQ was a social game above all right? If you wanted to get anywhere you'd better make friends... which usually meant you better help others out first.
This was the incident where you had to call in your favors to avoid an EQ tragedy.
So this cleric buddy and her shaman friend were poopsocking the fire giants for like 5 days. I would stop by once a day or so to shoot the shit, see how it was going, etc.
On the fifth night or so, she finally dropped like a rock with her cleric standing there in Naggy's lair.
Of course. ragefire spawns. This was when there still weren't too many cleric epics on brell, so the spies found out within 20 mins or so, and it was off to the races.
A guild started showing up, they had about 1-2 groups there pretty fast, but that wasn't enough at the time to guarantee a victory. We had a slim chance, but the gate was shutting fast. The guild leader wasn't replying to us, even after telling him how long they had been keeping the FG castle down. It was on. Neither of us was in a raid type guild at the time. It was mostly public raids at that time anyhow.
The shaman chick couldn't wake the cleric up with constant phone calls, she was tanked out hard, she calls me (fucking EQ, talking with someone for the first time in the middle of the night due to drama) and we got a plan together ASAFP.
We petitioned with what was going on, and amazingly a GM popped on us within 5 minutes. We pleaded with him to worldkick her, (5 DAYS MAN, come ON PLEASE kick her!!).
The GM said nothing to us, but it was obvious he got the gist of the situation, and had a heart. The cleric popped an LD over her head. The GM poofed.
At the same time we both called in our favors with all the friends we had helped in the past. 3 groups literally ported from their sebilis and charassis camps with strangers in their groups going 'WTF??' (Dude, you GOTTA help me help this one guy, help this other guy)
We had an appropriate force in Naggy's lair within 15 minutes, which is about as instant as anything happened during Kunark. The other guild was still trying to get their force together. It was the middle of the night after all.
Shammy logs in as the Cleric.
We engaged right as the competing guild finally had their three or four groups.
Zordak Ragefire's skin freezes. Fuck. Yes.
Cleric(Shaman) looted up, gated and camped her out. Would have been nice to see the look on her face when she logged in. Fuck... oh... FUCK YES!!
So yah, I had rezzes locked in for a loooong time after that one!
Funny how I will be elderly some day and never forget some of this shit.
