I'm in with this complaint. I traveled to south karana, only to see someone pulling the entire aviak tower down and killing it. Wait for respawn, and then repeat. There goes that camp spot. Wow this exp kicks ass!
Yes, it kicks gimp ass.
I've gone to Najena too, and seen an empty zone, but only 2 or 3 people in it, with one always mysteriously /anon. Unrest? Same.
Any place that can be "power pulled" is used to PL people it seems, in the old world. Which sucks. minmax. Jesus. It's an emu server for chrissakes.
And no, this did not happen in classic. People were too busy playing the game, getting epics, trying to get items.
It happened... well, well after the era this server is supposed to capture.
Granted, however, the server is now old. Newcomers are stuck.
A solution would be to eliminate all non-planar loot from the game now, as well as reduce bank accounts to zero for any account more than 6 months old.
"Game Master" -- check it out! A concept!
edit: as it stands, the server simply feels like last year's Fippy prog server, except with limits on boxing and warp traveling. But, grouping? I have seen people log out and say they don;t want to deal with a dungeon crawl, but would be down to go someplace they can be afk a lot and take turns pulling and killing.
I would recommend a revisiting of how this server works so as to penalize PL'ing, and reward actual classic-style gameplay. Otherwise, me and the other "new comers" are kinda realizing this is just a more closely monitored and slow moving SOE prog server, locked up tight by people who own the server. At this point, if SOE were to start another prog server, I would go there if simply to see if they fix some problems from last year's attempts. But this server needs fixing for those of us who wanted to adventure, explore, and yes, maybe have to play carefully so as to avoid nasty corpse runs. In other words, I wanted a challenge. Not an offer to pay someone to PL by hourly rates.
