The Abyss was a nice place to solo until recently. I soloed there lots and when I have a room alone when anyone else enters I let them and generally they take one side and I take the other. I have even had some people ask if they can share the room to which I have said “np, plenty for both of us”. I have really had little to no issues in the Abyss map . . . until recently.

I had my first real bad experience in the Dungeon last night. I emphasize real bad because Spirit & I encountered a bully the other evening but Omie & Lil came to our rescue so that turned out to be a minor disagreement that was quickly settled by Team Whoopass (I know I thanked Lil & Omie in game chat that night, but thanks again Lil & Omie!).

Anyway, it was Spirit, Patches, toolrocket, and myself and we had been working a room for a while when a solo mage slipped in and grabbed up a few mobs. Patches was rounding them up and bringing them to us near the door, so when the solo mage went past us by toolrocket did not realize it was not Patches and singularly hit one of the mobs. Once he realized it was not Patches he apologized immediately but the guy was already on a “Don’t steal mobs” campaign. Spirit tried to explain it was unintentional but he was argumentative. He then proceeded to aoe the mobs Patches had just gathered so of course we all told him to stop stealing the mobs and Spirit asked him politely to please just find a different room as a “common courtesy since we had been there first”. He kept on about us not owning the room and next thing I knew he attacked and killed me. I asked “WTF? WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME?” and his reply was “settled it”. WTH?? I truly had said little to nothing to him at all yet he targeted me to kill! He then went on to kill more of our party before I could warp to the portal and run back. Spirit called out asking if any guildies were in the map but none replied. She did however find a mage from BR (thanks Velix!) who was ever so gracious to join our party and help us fight this donkey behind. It took a while since he had all +9 weapons and armor (as he later told toolrocket in chat - toolrocket complemented him on his resilience and they had some private chat for a while) and was spamming CS potions, but eventually between us and a group of mobs he did die and had to warp to the portal.

Yeah, it’s getting to where the Abyss map is not much fun anymore.
