I use about 90.... over the years
I like to have pages of incoming messages so I can always have new ones to keep group spirits up... some of them would be stuff like..
/g If it does not fit, it must acquit. And if O.J. didn't do it, then it must've been a %T. INCoMinG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where the %t is the purple link text...or something like..
/g Why did the %t cross the road? Because he was chasing the ranger! (or monk, or insert ranger joke)
/g Roses are red, violets are blue, %t is coming, with phat lewtz 4 u!
songs work...
/g Unforgettable... that's what you are... Like a ... ahem.. INComING! %t !!!!!!!!!
/g My what big teeth you have, and just let me... ahha! INComING %t and his tooth!
any joke works..
/g Why did the pope cross the road? He crosses everything! %T didn't like that, so INCoMING!
I just make stuff up, use songs, movies, news, famous quotes, I mean you could make fun of anything... I think the only time you should have a standard incoming message is on raids, when you don't want spam, and you just want a short incoming message... if you're not a puller... and by that I mean an old monk who remembers those days...don't try and copy!
But I group so rarely in this age of EQ, not at all like the first year or the pre-instance eq...
Oh, and my simple inc message is usually
/rs INComiNG %t .... I hope
For some reason the I hope works better then maybe or plus 1, or with friends....more apt I feel
