The obsessive behaviour of massively multiplayer online roleplaying games players can get out of hand at times, but it does make for some funny things going on in the world. EverQuest players who enjoy playing warriors in the game have been whining for a long time that the warrior class gets worse and worse with each new patch and that a lot of groups won't even take a warrior if they can get a paladin or some other tanking class. Personally, one of my main characters is a froglok warrior, and while I sympathize with other warriors in that the class is little more than a meat shield, I'd like to know what they expected. I mean, the class is warrior. To me, that's synonymous with "meat shield." ... I'll admit to not understanding the full extent of their complaints, though.
However, some players have decided to stage a sit-in on November 18th in the Plane of Knowledge in the hopes of causing enough server lag and chaos that the developers at Sony Online Entertainment will suddenly stand up and take notice and listen to a bunch of players who are purposefully trying to crash a zone. Spoiling everybody else's fun to make your point is just bloody selfish, in my opinion. I'm curious to see how many warriors they're going to get out to this little event, however: http://www.thesteelwarrior.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4109
