I also enjoy roleplaying the character very much and I am NOT disappointed how
it ended beyond the point that I didn't get to see this cool form created for me.
(which I am absolutely thankful for).

playing the underdog and I love playing strange combos (of which many of the immortals can probably
agree with me). I was not OUT of defending/raiding, I was the more effective raider/defender than
most Masters. Xeren agrees in his post. He stated (in general form) I don't know how you killed ragers
without forms and halt person, but you always did it. Hell, I killed minalcar by myself without forms
with just halt person and a damn staff of striking! The obvious power of your character is not what
your true power is, something you seem to be unable to grasp.

my role and if anything, everyone around me benefited. I can surely say that the Tower benefited because I
took it and brought it back to its feet. I am sure me being consistant in my roleplay brought benefits to everyone
around me as well.
The problem here is this, I'm not angry I did not get a quest form. I am very happy how things turned out in general.
If I was an immortal I would have done things a little different, but hey thats me and I unfortunately have
this thing in me that wants everyone to live up to high standards. A flaw, you bet, a benefit, you bet as well.
I don't know how many ignorant roleplayers I ran into with Hifflio that I helped to look at the game a better way.
And this was done through just speaking with them and slowly making them see what I was trying to do. And many times
later I had people thanking me.
So using people, I don't think so friend. Trying to be the best damn Master leader/dragon mage/Zulghinlour follower?
You damn bet. If the character stepped on some toes, oh well life hurts (as I have felt seeing that little tidbit of
the form I missed) but as a player I don't think I used anyone. So try to substantiate your claims before you spout
your mouth off Rooqeaw. It is unfortunate, my other characters and myself had respect for you until this point.
