I've never understood how everquest survived on blue servers for as long as it did without instances. Honestly i've never played on a blue server on live and only to 35 on p99. And the issue instantly starts when you get to a high enough level to start camping items and you realize that everything is camped, and there's nothing you can do about it.

After checking p99 rules you can't get thrown off a camp as long as you.

1. Can handle the camp with the toons you have there
2. Don't go afk(?)

Well this day n age you could probably make a macro that plays the toon for you and make it to kill the mobs around the camp, thus never going afk, and camping items endlessly.

PVP is the solution, you guys need to stop farming pixels and just swallow the pride and take it to the next level, trust me it's more fun when you get pixels and get better at pvp because of the pixels, and get more pixels because of that.

In all:

Pixels here pixels there, pvp is needed to not be a queer.

Not wholly true...

It is entirely lawful, under what I last saw of the rules on this, that you can AFK up until any PH or Spawn occurs. The AFK is when that PH or Spawn is still up, and you are not.

I camped shit while playing PS3 all the time. It wasn't against the rules as long as I kept the PH/spawn down, and I did. I'd put an alarm on my phone that went off every (spawntime here).

That is the way it works for mobs with a somewhat normal PH spawn time. But for long timer PHs, simply being afk at the spawn point doesn't cut it. For instance, you cannot claim Ishva 30 hours before it spawns and just AFK in the room until 5 minutes before the spawn and claim that you have been camping it for 30 hours. In other words, you cannot AFK in the Ishva room and then go to work for 10 hours, get drunk afterwords, sleep for 10 hours and wake up hungover, go back to your computer and claim that you've been there the whole time. Your toon has been there, but you have not.

Remember that camping a spawn is a privilege. To camp something, you are sacrificing doing whatever else you may want to do. When camping normal named, I watch TV or a movie 90% of the time and could be considered AFK. But I am on my laptop or watching the movie on my PC so I can respond to camp checks and the like.
