Lolth logs on Melithindlee when there is next to no one on as she is from Germany, maintains *just* enough hours to hold the lewt, and does absolutely nothing with it. She's held the staff of demise for nearly a year IRL, keeping it out of circulation among other l33t l3wt, and as far as I can see has yes a valid RP reason, but is very much breaking the golden rule. You cannot voodoo her *read hammer*, and finding her to kill her save of a darkie gank squad when peak numbers are 10 or so at her peak play time to go break into Morea while getting past the guards that spawn, and to get her before she just recalls while eth and then teleports away randomly...
I cannot put in the hours I used to put in before, due to irl obligations. That is one of the reasons I stepped down from my position of leadership. I do not put in 'marginal hours'. Last month I played about 50 and the month before as well. I don't know where you're pulling that crap from. I have afternoon classes this semester, so I can usually only play during German daytime (which is a very non-social time), during weekends or evenings, when I'm too tired to actually do anything much.
It's true that I'll keep a certain cabal spell up when shamans are about. What sensible person wouldn't try to protect themselves from offensive actions? Sorcerors in the Hammer are practically built (at least in my opinion) to be excellent in the defensive aspect. You severely underestimate my knowledge of the game though, if you think that I couldn't do without. Do I have phat lewt? Yep. Do you want it? Too bad. SoD is probably the only item I have which I do not use. I was sick of seeing necros run around with it and gank random lowbies in cities. I can think of a handful of people who wanted to dump stuff on me just so I could 'keep it out of the wrong hands'. I refused to, because in contrast to others, I do not hoard mindlessly.
As for me not logging on when the Hammer relic was taken, that's not true either. I was about and I even remember telling people that it'd be amusing to see voodoo attemps, because I was fully confident they wouldn't work. I guess my 1500 hours on this character come all from not playing too.
I won't even bother with the 'sitting in my HQ, doing nothing' accusations. I enchant and scribe there mostly, yeah. Bux pretty much covered the rest.
