Hey, Winga here again. Frankly, it's disheartening to hear so much negativity. I started playing here just a couple months ago, and until now my experience with the p1999 populace was entirely positive. I'm just going to reiterate some facts for those who find fault in my actions:
1) I followed server rules to the very best of my abilities. I claimed and stuck to a single room in a near empty zone that I could easily have completely cleared (bard pulls everything, i heal to draw aggro, pet kills everything)
2) My camp was grief-ed by an enraged idiot acting out because his lvl 12 epic-wielding cleric couldn't take the best camp in the zone. Wall camp has access to plenty of legos and is very reasonable experience for someone his level.
This guy's reaction to a legitimate camp was to make up his own rules and try to enforce them by grief'ing with a higher level char. These actions are exactly why the server has rules in place! My initial response was to try to explain the rules and how I'm following them, and to contact a GM.
I don't have any reason to suspect that his guild, especially the officers, share any of the emotional and maturity problems exhibited by this guy. We chatted with someone higher up in his guild, but based on the bard's propensity for lying (ie: the claims I would "train him"), I'm not surprised they didn't step in.
The whole situation was fairly amusing, since the griefer wasn't actually strong enough to outdps my pet and only got kills when he got a head start while my pet was engaged on another mob. The vindicating moment of the whole experience came a little while before Nirali and I left. The bard shouts to the zone that he's giving away free belts and pads. This comes right before he made his post here claiming it was his strategy the whole time. What a hero. Anyways, he follows it up by saying he'd give away more when he'd filled a second bag. Holy crap. I had like 5-6 bags since he started his harassment, and Nirali had at least 4 bags as well.
Despite this guy riling up some people in the zone with claims of higher lvl players "stealing mobs from a lvl 12 cleric", I think we left most players with a positive leveling experience. Kept a random lvl 7 druid buffed the whole time we were there and helped him get his prayer cloth when a bracer of battle dropped for us. Buffed the hell out of tons of people.
