I played Dark Age of Camelot for several years. When I started on the Nimue server, I was known as Dagdamor Indigo. Those who knew me (it turned out for a non elite RvR player I was somewhat well known) I was the silly shield tank who power levels people when he is bored.
After a couple of years (right after the Trials of Atlantis expansion dropped) I got bored of the tank class in general. So I decided to make a Cabalist. It didn't take a long time to get him to 50, and I started getting him master levels. When I got my 9th master level, I got an ability that would add 20 effective levels to my pet for 5 minutes. SoI started raiding for artifacts. Tuesday nights were for artifact encounters on our server, and we were doing an encounter called "Shades of Mist". The encounter involves killing 3 70th level sphinxes. The
proper way to do the encounter then was to have an un-grouped person pull the sphinxes, let them die, and peel one sphinx. Rinse. Repeat. Then you get the Shades of Mist cloak. I accidentally pull a second sphinx however with my pet. I tell the raid, "Oops, I screwed up, but I think I can hold it off from killing us while you all kill the other one, then we can kill this one." I was wrong. I actually killed it before the raid killed the other one. For the rest of the night, the raid kept saying things like "Nerf Pentegarn" or "How the hell does your pet out damage the entire raid?!" Understand, I suspected up to that point that I could likely tank and kill a 70th creature, but had not bothered to try, because things like that tend to get noticed by game admins, and nerf-bats usually come out in response. So I really wanted to keep this particular ability under wraps, I was only the second Cabalist on the server to have that ability, so it's potential was still unknown. Needless to say, I became the go-to guy on that server when encounters needed doing. It was a bit of a pain though, because I didn't want to be a dick, but I wanted to do my own thing sometimes too. I spent much of my time after that in anonymous mode. Though when I was helping out people it was fun getting them stuff that they didn't think we could get
