You were afk, an audio trigger isn't a player - seems fine to me.

I fail to see how he forfeits a camp by being afk...

If I'm back to kill the mob when it spawns, its my camp. If I am not back in time to kill the PHer or mobs, then I forfeit the camp I agree.

But afking during a really boring camp that is on a hard timer that you know, doesn't forfeit the camp, atleast it shouldn't cause thats fucking retarded. How does you being at the keyboard twiddling your thumbs help at all? It just makes the game more of a grind and less fun to play. If I can get a camp afk for 15minutes troll the internet then be back to kill the next PHer or namer I don't see any issue with this.

AFK camping is frowned upon, but not explicitly against the rules.

e: just quoting the rules, i don't give a shit

umm, afking between spawns is an everquest tradition dating back over a decade

Frowned upon by whom?

AFK Camping is what you expect with spawns that function like clockwork. Gynok Moltor, a great example. I've camped this one twice once for my cleric and once for my druid. Each time I'd afk then come back with about a minute to spare (i'd check the log file on when I killed each mob... [Thu Dec 16 04:11:00 2010] You have slain Gynok Moltor! would add 16min to it and alt tab back to EQ then)

If some retard rolls in and sits at my camp, I'll say excuse me, I've been here for X hours/spawns, this is my camp. I have logs of the last PHers I've killed if you'd like that also. Usually people leave.

I've come into some camps and sat down, and people have returned the favor and asked me wtf I was doing. If they were there and not afking through spawns I'd gladly leave and come back another time. But you best know if you leave that PHer up for any reasonable amount of time (like 5minutes) I'll be killing it and claiming that camp as my own.

This hostility isn't directed at the dude I quoted btw, as I know you were merely quoting the rules. I just think 'the rules' have gotten people to be megabitches about camping mobs in a game is all.

Just don't be an asshole. That should be the only rule on this server imo.

Other people have already hit the rules quote so..

Maybe set an audio trigger for say too next time? Or check back in the game more often. Yes, long camps suck - and there will be points you have to afk. That's what "/afk POOPING" is for. Hell, even put "/afk I'm alt tabbed out, but I really am here, I have an audio trigger and I should respond to you shortly!" . Then at least the person knows you're really there.


Afk camping sucks, because there are people that are willing sit there for a few hours before a spawn to get it. They are putting in more effort than you to get what they want. Why should they get hosed because you're out watching a movie but your character is there reserving that camp for you.

and it could be I just have a broader definition of what afk camping is to me than you, and as far as eq nostalgia goes, being there camping something forever was eq.
