I have to admit, this Soapbox holds a special place in my heart. We gimps have listened for 2+ years calls of "d00d, reroll!" (I'm NOT a guy, thank you) and stuck it out. And after our time of struggle we've still got a LOT of game left to play. There are dungeons we've never seen, things we've not yet been able to kill - I mean, the thing IS 3 times our level why should we be able to tank it? And as a general rule we whine less - we're too busy just trying to survive!
With skill credit refunds, endurance love, thrown weapons love (I carried fletching for 67 levels just to make cinnamon and now I can make DARTS for my TW I've had since birth!), tinkering, life magic changes (those HELP gimps not die to the monsters, btw) and NO MORE WI FLAG, we gimps are finally coming into our own. We can ALMOST kill something twice our level!!
I met Eltana at the Qalaba'r Title Tent the day the titles became available. In the hour I stood there she and I were the ONLY Thrown Weapons characters. And in the hour I stood there I heard people tell us both to reroll MANY times. Neither of us did, and I guarantee we both don't regret it. We have fun!
She asked that I thank Ahl'Sak, Regret Shadowstorm, and Jao for sticking by her and supporting her life as a gimp and for making sure she had fun first before all else.
Trumpet your own "gimpdom" or join the inevitable calls of "d00d" reroll after you've read "My Life as a Gimp" in our AC Discussions forum.
