The Murjab FAQ

Why did you make this page?
I've got tons of useless web pages littering the internet, so why not make one dealing with EverQuest?

Why not play more EQ instead of fooling with this webpage?
I can work on the webpage while I'm at work

Why do you need a fanpage? Do you actually have any fans?
Well, maybe. I'm sort of a fan of myself. My lowbie characters are fans of me, too, most of them, so I guess I do have some fans.

Are you a roleplayer? Powergamer? PK? What?
I enjoy many aspects of the game, and like to roleplay when opportunities arrive, though I still like to use powergamer terms such as "exp". I don't find myself in PvP too often, but it can be a fun experience.

Can I have some free plat?
Send a tell to Babwin with this question.

Do you have any other characters?
Yeah, a buncha lowbies, including a level 9 ranger, a level 6 mage, a level 6 druid, and a level 5 cleric.

Do you realize this FAQ kind of sucks?
Yeah, yeah.

Hey, I thought we were good pals. How come I'm not mentioned in the "friends" section?
Well, I'm just starting this page out, and I need to collect screenshots of me pals to display up here. Come see me.

What guild are you in?
I joined the guild The Silent Blade a few months ago. We recently merged with the guild Dark Carnival, of which I am now a member.

How come you've never been to Halas?
I want to go there sometime, but just haven't made my way there yet.

Do you need a lambent stone?
There's so many people who generously offer lambent stones to me, and I appreciate all the people who do. They're lore, though, and I've been carrying around the same lambent stone for a bloody long time now, so until I do something with it, I can't take any more.

Why did you choose to be a Hummie?
I'm a Hummie in real life. I didn't know much about races and stats and all when I made my character...Think I realized the no ultravision thing, though, but made a Hummie anyway. As it turns out, Hummie bards are a rare breed indeed, and I'm proud to be one. Congrats to Windham and all the other Rallos Zek Hummie bards out there for making the same choice as me!

I'm a newbie bard. When do we get SOW?
Bards don't get SOW. It annoys me when people call Selo's Accelerando "SOW". We get Selo's at level 5.

You're an idiot. I'm going to PK you!
"FAQ" stands for "frequently asked questions". That's not really a question, per se. You can certainly try to PK me, though. The threat of danger is why I chose to play on Rallos Zek in the first place.

What's your play time?
Over 70 days, I think.

It took you a bit over 70 days to get level 50? You must suck.
I spent tons of that time just chatting. Talkin' to friends is as important as getting exp. Of course, you can still chat while fighting, but I get distracted easily. Bards aren't the best powerlevellers, anyway.

Are you going to make an Iskar character as soon as the expansion comes out?
I dunno... It's tempting, of course, and I'm sure quite a few people will want to do just that. I think it'd be fun to get one of my lowbies down to Kunark, where he'll be one of the few non-Iskars around. I'm worried that too many people will neglect Hummies once the Iskar can be monks, too.

I've got a couple of extra Y'keshas. Do you want them?
Sure.

How come you make so many typos when you chat while playing EQ?
I tend to type too fast. Sometimes I may be too busy fighting to bother with correct spelling, but I can't use that excuse all the time. I'm just a bit lazy sometimes, I guess. I'm sure you could find typos on this web page, too.

Do you know any trade skills?
I'm a master brewer, specializing in firey brews and vokda, although I've not brewed much of anything in a very long time.

Why do you use expressions like "blimey" and "old chap" all the time. Are you British?
I'm from Kentucky, actually, and often use such Kentuckian expressions as "I reckon'", along with my "blimeys".

What is a "mistwoven packet"?
A mistwoven packet is an item I like to auction for, but I haven't been able to get one yet. Apparently it is a rare item, if it even exists at all.

Why do you frequently wear a cloth cape?
When I was a practically naked Hummie running around Greater Faydark when I was a little fella, I was given a cloth cape to wear by none other than my buddy Mansor. I later switched to capes higher in AC, but at one time, awhile ago, I was encumbered or something, I think, and took off whatever cape I was wearing. Seeing the cloth cape in the bank, I donned the light gear, which was, of course, better than nothing. I still need to find a decent cape, though, and actualy, I'm usually not so encumbered that I couldn't just purchase a btetter one... but I just haven't bothered...although I did buy a leather cape for my ranger.

Hey, you're a Human from Freeport! Why do you fight your own guards?
As anyone knowledgable on the goings on in Freeport should know, the Freeport militia, who roam the streets of West and East Freeport, as well as surrounding territories, are rather unsavory characters. The good paladins of North Freeport strive to rid the lands of their evil, and encourage people to aid them in their effort. Plus, the Freeport militia can give good exp.

Why does it bother you when people hunt the bandits in Greater Faydark?
When I was a youngster, I joined in a fight against those bandits. After a few fights, I realized that they conned amiably. I had fought them, but they still liked me! So after that, I decided to befriend them. Elkrum and I even got a bunch of alcohol and had a big party out there once.

Hey, I bet the Dwarves in Butcherblock didn't really hate you either before you fought them...and what about the faeries in Lesser Faydark?
Well, I like Dwarves and Faeries, but I just had a tendency to fight some of them... I was actually given a second chance, when they reset the Dwarf faction to Kaladin Citizen faction, but it seemed odd that Dwarf hunters could now roam free, so I ruined faction yet again.
