** Unknown if it is still the case, but other players weren't the only ones capable of looting a corpse. Many times, your body would be picked over by the enemy NPC who killed you, leading some monsters to become veritable pinatas if they lived near the entrance to a dungeon and could repeatedly catch players off guard.

* [[Dronejam]] - Only in the pvp enabled side. You can push through one person/NPC with full stamina, but if you're 1 point under you can't. Though NPCs will move if asked, monsters are not so polite.

* [[Dude Where's My Respect]] - Become a Lord or Lady, and you will be bowed to... but, good luck getting a discount. And, if you put a foot wrong, the guards will whack you like a peasant. A common peasant! Zounds!

* [[Griefer]] - This game was legendary for how griefer-friendly it was in the old days, mainly due to the designers being unaware of the [[GIFT]] before they loosed the public on it. See also: [[The Great Player Versus Player Debate]].

* [[Horse of a Different Color]] - with the right amount of animal taming/lore, you can ride swamp dragons, ki-rin, bipedal dinosaur-like [[Mix and Match Critters|ostrich/lizards]] called ostards, nightmares, giant beetles, unicorns, fire steeds, and llamas. Some are literally rehued horse sprites, especially if you're using an outdated version of the game.

* [[Power Crystal]] - Used as a construction reagent, but doesn't actually benefit the player if used as an item. Other crystals contain imprisoned dogs and albino squirrels that will bond with the player and follow them around.

* [[Power Up]] - Alchemists can make potions with all sorts of exciting benefits. It's a shame that they only last for a few minutes; then the effect fades.

* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]] - A player can play as a male or a female. The only difference this will make is that only female characters can wear certain types of armor, and some articles of clothing become more... shapely on females. (Note: dresses are made to look shapely on any character. This leads to crossdressing male characters... [[Gender Bender|sporting impressive breasts and hips.]])

* [[Shoot the Medic First]] - No player party can expect to survive for long against a powerful monster without a cross-healer. In PVP, it's greatly recommended to take out anybody who looks like a wizard. Which is, in a world where magical items have properties that make them useful to melee fighters as well... everybody.
