How the list SHOULD work....

[Ivory]

Lists for camps should work with hours adding up over time.... and that dictates your position on the list.

So if you camp 1 hour a day on a list on a camp, you have a good chance to get it if you stick with it.

That means if someone was sitting there for 8 hours that day, the person who has been camping it for a week and a half with 1 hour stints comes and gets bumped to the top of the list (since 10 hours is more than 8).

That evens it out from just who can poopsock longest.

The intent isn't to make it so its easier for you, its so its more in line with how things would've been, people line up and wait their turn -- not a few elite people locking it down.

If you show up, get in line, you'll have your turn.

Stop showing up if you only got a few hours.

It wasn't for me, I can currently out-poopsock anyone. It is more for all the normal people out there playing :P

[stewe]

Not happening, next suggestion that wont happen plz

[Corridante Sycronius]

Sounds like a good idea. You could probably write the code for it in an afternoon and send it to the people you are trying to task with a luxury plugin on the free server they are providing for you.

[Nuggie]

No thanks to suggestion. No LineKP

Since lists are custom content discussion on how to make the most ideal one by the community probably is totally fair guys. :rolleyes:

Biggest change to list needs to be a life-time lockout on the item. Not a 1-week lockout.

You should be able to list for each item once.

I don't think it would be a good idea to move people down the list who are willing to dedicate time to staying in range vs those who only have 1 hour to play.

The real solution is for players to set realistic goals for themselves.
Dragon pixels aren't rewarded to players who play 1 hour a day. Same applies to the list. And the list is required for far too many reasons. It's not perfect but it solves more problems than it creates.

If you can't dedicate enough time to a list, don't waste your time. Find something better to do with your time.

Yeah I feel like, setting aside the time to be able to dedicate the hours to a few items is ok.

That evens it out from just who can poopsock longest.

I selfishly like this idea... but I think it strays a little too far from "the vision" of a classic server.

[Phaezed-Reality]

hmm, yes hmm. good points all around.

[reznor_]

Idk, the list seems fine. I just need to grind up to get to the appropriate level :) It's in the spirit of classic anyway...sometimes you'd camp a mob for the whole day, then log from exhaustion, only to hear that the next dude got it on the repop =/ rip

this would just cause farmers to powerlevel infinite lootbots, rather than enough loot bots to cycle the list system

What we did for awhile one server was:

We had one guildie there at all times maintaining a list. To get on a the lsit you just had to be in najena. If your name comes up on the list and you aren't in the zone, your name is removed. So if you wanted to risk logging off you could still theoretically log back i time for a shorter wait allowing more casual people a chance at the phat lewtz. But it was risky, of course. We also wouldn't tell people names/order to prevent abuses of having other people waiting in your spot, only to log in time for your spot to be near. if you got anywhere near derlznas room and you weren't called you were moved to the back of the list

They know not what they do :*(

[evilution]

there is a stickied thread in this very forum that explains exact how /list should work. If it is not working as described please post a bug report.

[skipdog]

Terrible idea.
