I got caught up in three GM events that all started around me before I could escape the zone or log out.
One was three GM's acting as mushrooms in Overthere beating up on the ppl in the zone. I was just sitting by myself on the north shore waiting for a boat to take me out of kunark, and one of the guyz came up and started whacking me for no reason. I ran away a little bit and got promptly killed by a roaming cactus. (Lost exp, no rez, time wasted running from cabilis). Immediately got jumped by some roaming goblins while naked running through the warslisk woods and killed exp loss again. Finally on third attempt made it back to body and finally caught boat to Norrath hours of wasted time later, and down on exp due to the two deaths. (Thx bunches mr. GM)
Next GM event was me in a Gnoll group in South Karana and the GM's breaking up my group, killing everybody, and causing a long naked CR run from Qeynos. Totally wasted tonz of time on a useless corpse run, (couple ppl from group were killed by the gnolls we had engaged so exp loss to them. GM didnt care and didnt rez nobody. yep appreciate that Mr. GM) Then say goodbye to the exp group we had going. Ppl were on waiting lists for a spire gnoll group back then.
Next GM event was in North Ro. Its ez to tell if its a GM event because the rest of the zone is normal except the 1 to three odd mobs doing zone-wide messaging and lame attempting to role-play something. Was in a bandit camp group and all of a sudden some odd mob shouts challenges to ppl of the zone and declares hes invincible and other BS. The mob proceeds to chase my group at the bandit camp and we are scattered to four winds. Other ppl from Freeport came running to fight him so he lost interest in us but we were all gone and there was no camp to hold at that point, so GM in effect cancelled any exp groups going on in the zone. We all split and I just camped for the night after making it to Freeport.
Geez, I couldnt imagine being on Legends server and seeing them all the time. I sincerely hope I never get caught up by one of them and their scrappy events ever again. In my opinion they are there to handle requests and resolve disputes and do other misc stuff that ppl ask them; Not hastle and kill ppl for the fun of it.
Every other GM event that I hear of that was going on, I was able to avoid or skip completely.
