... Okay. This day simply sucked. ... First, I went to 'serve' my prison sentence at Rilynttar for assaulting a city guard earlier. Nothing wrong with that, the sentence was 1 rl hour. In the prison you must put all your items into a containment box for holding, before entering the cell. I did as told and left the prison as a free mud-character... but forgot one tiny little thing after getting my items from the holding box. 'keep' and especially 'keep eq' is a wonderful command, which prevents you from accidentally doing stupid things. Unfortunately I didn't remember to keep my eq after taking them back. ... So, I ended up selling my 2 staffs - Staff of Elements and sizzling staff - to a shop, which paid a whopping 22k gold for my poor staffs, but demanded 600k + 129k respectively to sell them back. Of course, as a poor newbie I don't have that kind of sum. ... It was at that moment, on a storm of petty anger and self-hate, I decided to 'suicide' my character. I was very pissed off and I still am, but after contemplating and whining and sobbing I came partially to my senses (??) and canceled the suicide. A nice fellow loaned me 107k and I was able to buy the sizzling staff back. I feel miserable about my stupid behaviour over crappy eq and lame angst. Plus of course I feel bad about losing the Staff of Elements, but nothing can be done for that. Sorry.
