I actually saw, (and killed), George day before yesterday, for the first time in years.
For those who have forgotten, George is a named Reet that spawns in the SE corner of Greater Tir County, and he drops the Medical Epaulet. Sadly, the Epaulet has been nerfed rather hard. It used to give 7 First Aid and 7 Treatment, (or occasionally only 5 of each), with the latter being the obvious point of desirability. It was also Doctor-only. The one George dropped just now is usable by any class and gives only 2 points of Treatment, though the First Aid bonus is now 8 points. I cannot find it on AO Items, and Auno is still showing the old ones.
So why is this worth a post? Because I thought George was gone. I had been there and looked for him without success so very many times that I'd concluded he was a victim of Those Strange Changes. Granted, he's always been quirky and hard to find, not like R-2000 or Torrith, which basically spawn and stay in one spot. But lo and behold, there he was, like a memory of happier days.
I'm getting old, you know that?
