if this is true, players should really reconsider how destructive this is going to be on your actual health. people outside of the top 10 are literally going to have suffer from some serious health problems...you'll be up for 24+ hours before you can even loot the item. anything past being in the top 20 forget it, you're actually going to actually die if you even try.

if anything, AFK checks should be for the top 6 (a full group) and as the item is looted, the next man in should then be bound by the AFK check. let's be real, the only reason people are going to reroll on green is so they can loot those special items (guise/manastone). in actuality the list for these two items will be 15+ for the first 6 months.

Where did you get the 5 minute part?
There will be afk checks if you're on a /list and it's per person not per group.

I'm prepared to sit in front of my computer for 72 hours. If other people are not, well maybe they should consider doing something else with their time.

That being said.. a guild or group could dedicate to round the clock logging into characters to keep them online 24/7.

Ideally everyone will work together to kill the mob as much as possible to speed up the list.
In reality people will be scumbags and semi-afk not helping just waiting to loot the item.

ground flooring this multi-page thread soon to be full of replies inadvertently showing we must dramatically increase the drop rates on (yes) or altogether remove legacy items (no)

Yeah no. Having the AFK checks will make the queue go faster by keeping out the people (such as yourself) who can't be bothered to make a mouseclick every five minutes and by removing the ones that fail to do so.

is list gonna detect ip changes? sharing accounts would be gaming the system.

maybe we should have to be on cam to /list. fully nude to avoid any tricky business, with hourly visual cavity inspections.

Well that was a bunch of misinformation all at once.

you're actually going to actually die if you even try.

You won't die from sleep deprivation, and especially not after 24 hours.

if anything, AFK checks should be for the top 6 (a full group) and as the item is looted

Then people can sell the loot by selling spots in their group. No.

let's be real, the only reason people are going to reroll on green is so they can loot those special items (guise/manastone).

Most people are rolling for the fresh experience after 10 years of playing a beta. A lot of people will never see a legacy item and still enjoy themselves fully.

I’m already naked. The rest sounds like a bonus.

Hopefully half the population will be on these
Camps, and there will be lots of exp camps open ��.

You dont have to camp the item. If you are suffering health problems from a video game stop playing. Dont blame the developer.

First six months? They only drop for 6 months before they get removed

July 1999, it was a Thursday. I remember because it was the start of a 4 day weekend. Innoruuk server had just come back up after a 3 hour patch.

I camped jboots for 27 hours straight, from #6 in the group, and by the end I was losing my mind. Slept for 13 hours straight immediately afterwards.

Can't imagine staying up for 48+. How will people do that?

I don't remember the day of the week, but I remember that Drelzna on test was dropping a note now instead of the jboots so everyone knew they were going to go. I got into a full group and got mine after 13 hours, but yeah, that camp sucked...

I don't think I'd do that again even if I was 20 years younger...
