We have quest-sitters, we have botters, triggers for God knows what, and now I've tracked down yet another factor in this horrifying case!

A recently held survey shows that quite a few quest-sitters are reaching obesity levels never seen before (except as reached by a few inhabitants, i.e. The really fat beaver). This is apparently caused by the total lack of movement, except to quest every 30 minutes.  All told, this means that they won't lose their weight the same way as the fighting population.

After several interviews and large amounts of "I'm not here, go away, I'm quest-sitting" comments, this reporter found out that some of these "sitters" have taken to extreme methods in the fight to lose excess weight. One of these methods is going to unlicensed, illegal and potentially dangerous surgeons who then operate on the "sitters."

The Midgaardian sought to delve deeper into these fly-by-night weight loss clinics.  We were shocked to learn that the anaesthesia was incorrectly administered.  In addition, the paper was able to procure one of the scalpels used by many different surgeons. Frighteningly, we found that the scalpel was dull, which resulted in some terrifying skill mods:

Increases Inflict pain by 15
Increases Trauma by 10

We only managed to track down two clinics; one in Onslaught of Chaos (where we also found the scalpel) and also in Dune: The Desert Planet. The Midgaardian cautions that this is rapidly becoming a widespread problem, and we urge people to please think twice before getting cut by these "doctors."
