Thirst has always had a change to reduce lag. You also don't know if Zergul has something that would further reduce lag.
Neither do I for that matter, but there are several examples (one round trip near the start of the fight, a 1 round pincer, this throw) that could all be explained by thirst, and/or the legacy that reduces lag.
For request I think it will cause a repop, but I think that timer is really long. For other situations I'm not sure they'll ever repop with the EQ if they haven't been killed.
Couple more orc tips.
Go to Mortorn, grab floating chest and saddle bag. Use one for preps and bloody skins, the other you jam worthless gear you pick up as you see it lying on the ground, then sell it when you get the chance. Easy gold.
Kstat: Make a goblin FAQ
Orc Hot Start, for the Lazy:
I'm going to see if I can't somehow marry this with the wiki version in some way that makes sense. No promises since I haven't played in a while, but I doubt I'll resist the lure of Orctober.
As Krunk I eventually distended at level 50 such that I only had hero-range characters (47+) in range, but that was clearly not by design, since hero range essentially begins at 47, so they fixed it.
So no. Not possible vs. level 47 necro. Distention stops at 47.
Search for distention. I suppose it is possible Daevryn only fixed it for level 50, but that would be silly.
Plus the added benefit of not needing response from Staff. I did a bunch of work on the diku wiki a while back and it is like 90+% complete. This map is prettier, but that one is more complete and on a semi-maintained wiki instead of not-at-all-maintained-but-official-wiki.
Matrik isn't half as serious about any of his stuff as you all make him out to be, sort of like how I'm not half as evil as people think based on two full loot logs and the associated fallout, or how I've clearly misread Jhybrian's humor and should take it more for what it is.
Tone is hard to read in text. Impossible in some cases.
Because numbers aren't much above 5 right now anyway. I made a character choice and stuck by it. All the OOC stuff aside.
I'm also not really in control of how long it takes to regear. I can force the choice on someone, but what else are you going to spend your ghost timer on? Why does it take so long to regear? Why is gear so much more important than 1/3 con?
I'm real
1) Try something different
This is about challenging the assumption that full looting is "terrible" and makes me a horrible person and all of that stuff people throw my way below. That line of looting vs. not loot just isn't as black and white as people want to pretend it is.
2) Revenge story
Who doesn't like getting revenge on someone who mistreated your character?
