Is this guy like rude or what? I just asked for verification of info, or a
possible in game trade/sale which occurs on a regular basis. Does anyone
give merchants a hard time in the game? I think not. Nor do I think players
give other players a hard time when they come upon something they think is
worth selling. He then labels those who do such things as "twinks". I have
over 22 years of roleplaying (MUD's, MUCK's, MUSH's, RPG's, CRPG's), you
name it, I've probably played it, and in my books, thems fighting words bub!

If you ask me, I'm not the one with the problem here, and I can think of a
billion different ways to rationalize off what you call twinking LANCE. And
if you're going to start flaming and calling someone something they consider
rude and offensive LANCE, you better be ready to deal with the consequences.
And just for your info, my character is hardly twinked. Every little copper
I have, I earned by starting a level one character with just the basic items
on his back that you start with. And if you think playing a Dark Elf Shadow
Knight is so easy, I suggest you try doing so. Just about every NPC (except
those in Neriak) attack you on sight or won't sell equipment to you. As for
handling pressure LANCE, I have 6 years in the military. You don't get much
more pressure than that. So who needs to learn about pressure here? Not me.
I'd look closer to home. And while you're at it, next time I suggest using a
thesarus and dictionary. Your spelling and grammar are terrible LANCE.
For those of you out there who consider this spam, my apologies (but if the
shoe fits, wear it). I just can't stand people who go off half cocked about
something when they no as to what they're talking about.
