Is a "No Lock-Down" Rule Possible?

[Tuurin]

I've seen this sentiment expressed a few times here- do you really think you can just crack open a minotaur hero brew and shoot the shit with people and they're going to give up their precious monopoly on a camp? Have you ever had one of these types of interactions? It really doesn't work that way most of the time.

Most of the time you'll be either completely ignored (afk?) or ridiculed and called a newb for not knowing the rulebook. At best, you'll politely be told that they're planning on camping it for another 8 hours or so and there are 4 other people on the list after them so come back on Tuesday if you want a chance at the camp.

If something is technically allowed in the rules, people will do it and quote the rulebook to you despite any level of logical discourse you try to have. EQ is/was a pretty hardcore-type of game, and P1999 is the boiled-down neckbeardy version of EQ so of course it's going to have a disproportionate level of people who would gladly spend DAYS camping something to farm plats to pay for a MQ to get 20 more Hps out of their wrist slot.
