It doesn't have to be all about the level grind.Follow

Sure we all have to go through the level grind to gain levels but I play to have fun and this night was fun for me...


one of my mules is named Shoppe.
He is a Taru from Bastok. I've taken this toon around the world as a level 1 selling my wares.

One night during the New Years with the Monkeys running around , I walked from Bastok to Selbina. When i got there I started asking people if anyone saw my Monkeys that ran away from home. Some people ignored me and some laughed. my Bazaar message read something like

"Help me! My pet Monkeys have escaped from home. Please use give them one of these items and maybe they will come back home."

So after a little while of hanging out at the Selbina gate. Someone says "hey I think that goblin ate your monkeys."
I look over and someone is being chased into Selbina by a gobby. So i say " GIMME BACK MY MONKEYS MR GOBBY WOBBY"
I then ran up and attacked it....dying in one hit from it of course.
I waited a little bit just laying there face down. Eventually I returned to Bastok.

ahhh, it was a fun waste of a couple hours. ^^

I later returned as my main character with some of the same people standing around. Deciding to role play a bit I started asking them if they had seen a tarutaru named Shoppe around. I said his mother hired me to find him as he was missing from home for some time.
unfortunatley no one wanted to play along with me so I went back to the grind. :(

haha! yeah i like to do things like that. When the monkeys first appeared I would sit by the Outpost in the dunes for a while waiting on friends or an invite or whatever. To pass the time I watched the newer players (didn't want to use the phrase noob... you could just tell that they were new to the game) chase the monkeys around. Occasionally I would shout out something like "RUN!!! THE MONKEYS ARE LEVEL 70 AND THEY AGGRO TO EMOTES!! THEY CAST POISON!!!" The people would scatter like cockroaches when you turn the kitchen light on it was hilarious!

I amuse myself while waiting for mages to med by having a staged catfight with another mithra in my party ^^

You can do some fun stuff with macros and emotes, hehe

^^^^ lol I'll have to use that one. :)

i did the "/em steals something from someone" also for a while. got some funny responses. one guy said, "man, that's just wrong". hehe

another thing i do is talk to NPCs out loud, such as "NPC, I wish to deliver these items. Thanks for taking care of it!!"
