EverQuest Has Awesome Players

I just saw something a few hours ago that made me realize something…EverQuest has an awesome player base.

I was sitting in the Bazaar, looking through some items, when I saw a question pop up in ooc.  The question was something to the effect of, “I’m looking at items.  What does mana and end do?”  This, undoubtedly, is a very big noobie question.  This isn’t just an EverQuest noobie question, this is an RPG in general question.  On many other MMO’s, I can only imagine the remarks that person would get for asking such a question.

The response they got?  Two people responded (both with similiar answers) with, “Mana is used to cast spells.  The more mana you have, the more spells you can cast without taking a break.  End is endurance, which is like mana, but used for melee skills.  The more endurance you have, the more skills you can use before resting.”

I was both shocked and pleased to see a noobie treated with such a respectful and helpful response.
