That's a real good question, heh heh heh.
When I was a youngster, I think about 11 or 12th season,the bugs and such were turning green in Feydark. I made some cautious probes into Butcherblock and discovered The Chessboard! Oh Man!
It was filled with Skellies that conned Dark Blue with an occaisional Red King! I would calm all but one, then snare and DoT him. It was always camped so I would go there late at night.The exp and loot was fantastic. It was there I took out my first Red Con, The King!
Problem was, between there and the zoneline was a group of TOUGH brutes,THE YOUNGBLOOD CLAN. I would be sitting at the chessboard,
almost out of mana and health, waiting for the King to succumb and dreaming of that "Ding", When.... WHAM!! I'd be ambushed by a Youngblood and die before I even realized what had happened.
They terrified me!I began to save just enough mana to snare him if he attacked and run to the zone and... Wham!! His angry cousin, coming to his aid, would clobber me and down I'd go.
I decided I would take them on. LOL! How naive I was. It was then I learned about Aggro, broken Snares, and pulling TRAINS to the Zone!
But, when I finally killed one, he dropped a Medalion that fetched 1 WHOLE PLATINUM! WOW!
After a few levels I could take one on and kill it but had to remain vigilant for his allies and keep close to the zone for safety's sake. And I would stand over his corpse and GLOAT! ME, a real human being, venting all my hate and frustration at a TOON! God, it was great.
I made me a hot button and, whenever I took a Youngblood down, I would /shout "/roars DIE YOU YOUNGBLOOD! I HATE ALL OF YOU ROTTEN STINKING YOUNGBLOODS!" ROFLOL...
Talk about ROFLOL... The Youngbloods were a 60's rock band. How about A WANDERING GREENBLOOD?
Now you know how "young" I am - I remember the Wandering Greenbloods vividly, yet also remember The Youngbloods!
