The reason I switched to HC (Rant-type object)
Well, the real reason is the rush of being mortal, and all that junk. But tonight I was reminded of another reason.
I decided to make the switch final (not that it wasn't truly, but I had all these annoying SC chars on my accountt and a whole mule account full of them). So I type into the East chat (my mistake, probably) come to lp10///10 for free items, I'm cleaning out my chars. 5-6 people show, and I start by dropping my lvl 80 Pally's stuff. He wasn't godly, far from it, in fact, but he had a Black Hades with 3 15 IAS jewels in it, a B-Star, double P-Diamonded Mosers, IK Belt/Boots, a Saracen's Chance, and a Ravenfrost. Other stuff I ended up dropping included Gris Armors, Skins of the Vipermagi(s), IK Helms, Frosties, Silkweaves, and stuff mostly on par with those items: definitely usable, but not Godly. I get to my mule account, and people start asking "Do you have any Shakos/HoZs/Lightsabres/insert incredibly Godly item here?" They do this each time I enter, and each time I tell them no, I don't. But they persistently ask each time. So, instead of unloading my last two mules, I delete them and unload the one with low-level set items. Petty, I realize, but they really weren't being grateful at all. I got a few "TY"s (not capitalized for emphasis, but because they were all caps-locking) before most of them left, but that was it. I still maintained face and told them to enjoy and to take care, but it was hard.
Now, I realize this is probably more typical of B-Net than of SC in particular. However, I have met far more courteous and urbane HC players than SC. I have f-listed more HC players, and they more frequently want to play together or just chat instead of constantly asking for items/rushes.
Dunno where this is going, but the point is I'm done with SC. Even despite the annoyance of PKers.
Peace,
