This could probably fit By the Fireplace also, but since it's really a retirement post, I'll go ahead and place it here. Let me explain the circumstances in which Kambic and Canbik were created, and why Kambic is now being retired:
October 1999. My family is visiting relatives for the weekend. My uncle happens to own (and once betatested) a game called EverQuest. I wasn't new to this game, I played on his account briefly once when he betatested, and when it came out for release, I was at his house for srping break so got to create a few chars. Needless to say from day one I was hooked. Anyway, this weekend me and my cousin were trying to think of the best combo we could make for playing together. I say, hey let's go rogue-rogue, I hear ping-pong backstabs rock (plus I had played another rogue to 7; gave me some incentive because he was a heck of a lot of fun, though I was extremely dissapointed I couldn't pp players heh). So we start two halfling rogues. My cousin has an enchanter on E'ci named Canbik, so he uses that name. I said heck I'll reverse the K and C so people know we're twins. I heard him wrong, and swapped out an 'M' also for the 'N' :) Well I make a guy, and he makes a girl. Wasn't a problem, I was playing on my uncle's account, he was playing on his own account. So we (haha) twink them with Giant Snake Fangs when we ran them to Qeynos at 5. Anyway I had to go home when we got them to Qeynos (remember we were visiting); next time I went we got them to ~10, backstab finally! So whenever we were there together, we played them. Well Canbik got the equipment edge, so she got played more. When I was at my uncle's house and my cousin wasn't, I played Canbik simply because she was advanced more and had better equipment. Obviously, this lagged Kambic behind. Now he's 6 levesl behind :/
Recently we got a new computer, and at the same time one of my uncle's friends quit eq. Well my uncle bought his account, and my cousin plays on it now. So they've got an unused account. Happens to be the one with Canbik on it. Obviously I want this account, so my uncle gives it to me. Now that I'll be playing Canbik a lot more, and Kambic virtually never, I'm going to retire Kambic of course.
Anyway goodbye to my rogue Kambic, you rocked while I played you to the uber level of 12 :)
