> I'd say the conversation you had with Tiamat about what forms to choose combined with the fact you'd just completed a hard quest and become the dragon tower's apprentice hinted pretty strongly at it. At least, that's what I would have assumed.

The conversation was wonderful, I enjoyed it so much. 200 hours later, there was hardly if any contact from her again. Is there frustration involved, obviously yes. Is there anger involved no. When you spend 500 + hours roleplaying your eyes out and then look around and see others getting quest powers for being leader, or a leader item, or this or that for doing half what I did, I think frustration is a natural response. Frustration is definately one of my feelings. Anger or hatred at anyone, no. I got a big mixture of frustration, enjoyment and happiness. If this is the wrong way, well goodness, so be it! woho.

> I just don't think you should be mad over it, you clearly caught them at a bad time and had a run of bad luck when you clearly deserved a quest form. More bad luck with missing Zulghinlour so much... i'm just saying don't take it the wrong way, it happens and sometimes just can't be avoided.

  • But Flontinot.. Hifflio got nothing but a title for 500 + hours of Roleplaying. Master Leaders get nothing special... NT maybe 19:07:23 9/29/2000 (2)
    • Depends on your definition of nothing. Roleplaying is mandatory. Yes, he was far above average. He was going to be rewarded. What's the problem? n/t Flontinot 06:31:20 9/30/2000 (0)
    • If you don't want to be leader without getting a highly limited quest skill, don't play a Master. n/t Soo 23:23:44 9/29/2000 (0)
