The EQ2 Mini-Games We Play
#1 - Inventory Juggling - The Bank Version
I think I spent three hours playing this EQ2 mini-game over the weekend. The tradeskill revamp of LU24 was a good excuse for me to go through the 8 containers of harvested items I have collected over the last 6 months and see what was still useful. There was much rearranging and and organizing. I can now find whatever harvestable item I need for whatever tradeskill alt I am on. Yet I still don’t feel the need to tradeskill. Do I win?
#2 - Inventory Juggling - The Adventure Pack
You’re deep in a dungeon and your inventory is full. A metal chest drops. What do you destroy in your inventory to make room for possible legendary item? The corpse loot that may be worth good coin to a merchant? That food you might be able to live without til you get back to town? The status point loot that’s been collecting in your fourth pack? Whatever you destroy will be gone forever with no guarantee that you will /random above a 3 for the big ticket item.
#3 - Guess The Pick Up Group Efficiency
Does the main tank hold aggro? Does he call his pulls? Does he position mobs for the scouts? Do the scouts/mages wait for the MT to get aggro before popping off their highest damage ability? Does the healer conserve mana for actual heals? If you don’t play this mini-game correctly, your evening’s entertainment could be short lived.
#4 - How Much Can I Take From The Guild Vault Without Getting In Trouble?
This is a mini-game that tests your laziness. As a L70 provisioner you could whip up a stack of drink for yourself, or you can save the time and just grab a stack out of the guild vault. But last night you took out an Adept book for an alt that you swear you are going to be playing more. Sure, you threw in a stack of Glimmering Flowers, but does that balance out the 5 Harvesting Timer Reduction items you happily plundered?
#5 - How Long Can I Hold Off Going Back To Town To Repair?
Until you’re naked.
What mini-games do you like to play?

Thursday night while grinding with a PUG in the Enchanted Forest we had a wiz keep following us and hailing us. He never did anything but hail us, never a tell. So must have been a farmer, but at anyrate here is the game we played.
We would let him tank for us. Yeap and the idiot would fall for it. How did we do this? We would hail a mob and stealth to be mob (everyone else in the PUG was a scout). He would then start off nuking the mob(s) and pull agro while we scouts laughed and did our backstabs.
Of course he would keep dying, but he funning thing was that he would just run back to join us. This went on and on until he was running back to us without his gear due to him not repairing it. Finally we got tired of the show and kicked him. But he still proceeded to follow us around.
It was too funny.
Nice blog by the way.
