Listen, man... I know you're frustrated, but you literally played THE MOST frustrating combo on the MUD while simultaneously complaining about fighting THE MOST frustrating combo on the MUD (elf bat-spammer).

SIDENOTE: Bat is probably the one skill in the game that has left me scratching my head wondering how the hell it got past the IMMs in the testing and made it into the game itself. Seriously, mind-boggling. Capable of multiple-round perma-lag, stackable dex/str maledicts and -mana/hp regen-- any one of those is sweet, but having them all in a less than one round lag package on something with godly tanking is crazy.

That being said, I feel your pain... but my suggestion is, play something less tedious and you'll be a lot happier. Also, tin foil hat conspiracies about how this isn't an RP MUD and only exists for IMMs to reward themselves is bullshit. RP is enforced and has been for years and it creates a lot of fun for most. PK is fun, too, but you seem to be complaining about that, too, so I'm not sure what you want, really. Seems like you're just generally bitter at the moment, so hopefully you find a combo that finds its groove and keeps you from melting down. Personally, I have much more fun with characters that I have a fun role for so I can get into the RP-- that way even if I'm not absolutely killing it in PK, I'm still having fun with it in some way or another.
