These guys were in the South Qeynos area(one usually hung out by the clock) back when I first started playing in August 2000, along with the Ruffians and loathsome individuals. I remember my first or second night in EQ a bunch of Level 1's including myself tried to take the loathsome's in North Qeynos and we got destroyed. They also spawned in Qeynos Hills by those huts at the end of the wall, but they have since been taken out of the game. I don't know why but I'm guessing it's because they were killing too many newbies. I miss them though =/ Same with gnoll runners, I got killed more times than I like to remember to them as my first char, and never got to get revenge on them once I could take them =/ Oh well...But bottom line, the rude individuals are gone and have been for ages.
