So yeah, killed Quarm for the first time tonight, fun stuff. But the real kicker of the whole thing is basically this:

[Sun Mar 21 00:13:33 2004] There is a brilliant flash and you find yourself displaced through time and space. For a moment you lose touch with yourself. As you wake, you find yourself back in the Plane of Knowledge, moments after talking to Maelin with the information of retrieving the Quintessence of Elements. Druzzil has preserved the timeline, and restored existence back to its normalcy.

What brilliant dev's idea was it to dump a full raid of 72 people on a spot at the top of the PoK Library tower not one foot from the elevator shaft? We had more deaths from people falling off the pile of people zoning in and falling down the shaft than from the Quarm fight itself!

I mean, it's funny! But in a really lame, sad sorta way. I was laughing, I nearly fell down the shaft too... but seriously... this is just another example of piss poor quality assurance from the people at SOE who dont even think about the most basic consequences of their design decisions.

Just lame. Really lame.

Um... geek humor? Brought to you by the guys with the pocket protectors and black glasses with tape on the nosepiece who snort and wheeze when they laugh?

If your guild breaks the egg in the future, just mem gate and get the heck outta Dodge! We just AE tl out and leave the egg up now. :)

Yeah, needless to say its the sort of thing you only do once. Only Sony would create content that actually punishes the players (this, Sleeper script) for doing it as intended.

Hehe, haven't had that quite happen the three times we've killed quarm. I always ended up on the table in there, with people scattered around, close but not super close to the elevator shaft. Is kinda amusing, but yea.. pretty stupid overall.

The "Elevator of Death" strikes again!

I've died in that chute before (for other reasons) :P

Almost happened again last week but I had Exodus that time! Haha! fall fall OH ****!!! /MASH "5" *poof*.... everything is allright, again :)

Too typical, was funny the first few times. We had people push each other to the elevator and 20 k lol. No one wait for the TL anymore now though. We just gate/aetl out after the egg. :)
