Is a "No Lock-Down" Rule Possible?

Not every item. I thought we were talking about super rare poopsocking items; not just good items. But way to go to the extreme.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Who gets to decide what is a "super rare poopsocking item"? The example given was king, how many fungi tunics are on the server right now? that obviously isn't a super rare anything. Do you mean something like elder beads? there was an actual GM enforced rotation on that due to a player made agreement and a list that was 5-8 days long...

Right now people like Lora are complaining due to a feeling of self entitlement where they want rules made to cater to their specific play style. The only person whose play style this server would cater to would be Rogean's. Just because you didn't get a chance to camp the king in seb last week doesn't mean anything needs to be fixed.

Everyone's entitled. I feel like all players who are willing to spend enough time are entitled to a chance at "so powerful they were removed from the game" items, just like they are for any other item (and just like the Kunark GM manual specified). No one guarantees you a fungi, but if you spend enough time trying to get king groups in Seb you'll get one eventually.

You feel like a one or a handful of the most dedicated people should have the server rules written in a way that entitle them and their friends to a monopoly over those items.

No, i feel that those willing to put in the time and effort deserve to benefit from it. Not be forced to share cause some spoiled self entitled brat complains about monopolization. I personally haven't camped the king is probably over a year if not two years. I could care less who monopolizes it as it is there right to do so. Please show me where this server is or has ever been advertised as a way for everyone to go back and experience everything. Show me where you are guaranteed your "turn" at any camp. Clearly the real problem is your assumptions coming in were based purely on your misconception about the server. You can experience everything, but you have to be willing to commit the time in order to do so. That is classic everquest.

You could of had your chance at those items before they were removed. I personally remember waiting over a week for my name to come up in the elder beads cave. I am sorry that you feel you should have been able to walk right in and make demands of people waiting days for their turn. That just screams entitlement though

You keep quoting this "kunark GM manual" and yet if it was an actual rule book for GMs then it would have been enforced unilaterally which you even admit it wasn't. Therefore it is proof of nothing, good intentions don't equate to specified rules.
