> Well, I had high hopes for this character. Cloud Giant Ranger Sylvan. Can you say slow learner? At level 43 (ooh, I'm one of the 'buncha sylvan rangers around 40' - too bad I can fight all heroes, including Storm Paladins). I should have had my head examined for playing tonight. Thunderstorm. 27 people in my pk range - most of them master heroes - and lots of lag. But as I said above, clouds are slow learners and I figured I could get some practice in (level 43 and almost 200 hours and dodge is at 99, wilderness familiarity was at 96...I finally perfected parry at level 39). But rangers are just plain sick if you play them as they are meant to be (I used to cringe any time I would peek into a city and see other rangers hanging around). At one point the other day, I was tanking two elites and the storm commander. Wilderness Familiarty rocks. But any time I would start to think, 'Man, these rangers are overpowered', I would try to kill the Imperial Vanquisher and need three periods of rest to finish him. I broke 900hps at level 41.

> So I dig out the netzero files and load it up...I connect *fully healed* at the altar. That's always a good sign. Minor checking leads me to Bevrolmx who tells me he won't return any gear even though its my second flag (an ooc whine there which I kept to myself) because I have been flagged for so long that it wasn't warranted (Elmorel fulfilled my warrant on Friday: his note is still there).

The only items I didn't take from the corpses of people I killed were the fire opal rings (replaced my two granites) and one of the wide coppers (the rings and copper from when Kamal killed Simka). At the end, I had the Axe of Conquest and the Girdle of Serpents to round out my suit, plus better neckwear and such).
