Not everything is about you bro.

Even if they were trying to deny other groups something, who are you to say that that goes against the original theme of everquest? Why is that the end of the story? Just because you say so?

Chutzpah & hubris imho.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth here. You can't claim the lockout is just to get items for every person and at the same time say that people are locking out to exploit it (which is almost certainly the truth of the matter for some items, like the COS for instance).

RE: Not everything is about you bro.

I can't believe that you have the chutzpah to say this. What is going on with these camps is very much a function of selfishness. I'm not the one keeping people out of these camps. Chutzpah indeed.

Me? I'm a nobody. Just someone that played the original EQ from the second day of launch for 6 solid years. I know nothing about the way the server was. I've been around for a while, but I know nothing about the nature of the board games and muds that this game was derived from.

It's a manner of expression. Give me a break. If you have to try that hard to find exception to what I said, methink thou doth protest too much.

The more I think about this, the more I think the rule of allowing the current controller of the camp to completely dicate how it gets passed on needs ammendment. It seems as if it would be more reasonable to require the next people in line to be present when handing over a camp.
