[edit] Umbo

"Court Jester Umbo Scrubbelnuts is a character in Everquest". For fuck's sake, why would someone think that their jigbugrick EVERQUEST CHARACTER deserves a Wikipedia entry? I don't CARE that he won the "funniest gnome" contest! NO ONE cares that he won the "funniest gnome" contest!

• Hey... at least he included a screenshot! CSD/A7 Speedy I forgot, A7 is for real people. Maybe there should be an A8 for MMORPG characters... Delete--Isotope23 20:29, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I have played everquest for going on 5 years now, I don't know Umbo personally but i do know of him and his accomplishments. This gnome is highly respected in the everquest community and I am almost positive that the majority of the everquest community would agree with most everything said in that umbo page is true. Certainly you would agree that this mage who set the standard for many everquest strategies and being probably the most influential character on the biggest and first mmorpg created deserves some recognition. Also I am fairly sure Umbo himself didnt make that page. -Tokar Guild leader EQ Community forum admin.
