there is a private list system going on at AC in OOT?

Clever. But is the cure for camp problems on blue/green really to let our population get so low that at peak times each player has on average three whole zones to themselves?

That doesn't happen on blue/green.

So the alternative is a week long waiting list just to get camps like OoT Sisters, AC, frenzied ghoul, etc?

Yes, you trade off getting every camp you ever want quickly without trouble in order to play with people on the server. For most of us, this is a good trade off.

I mean, if you want...you can play on any emu server and pretty much get the entire server to yourself. If that's fun

I'm not saying there shouldn't be competition, but if some camps are so overwhelmingly waitlisted that only the most elite, diehard of poopsockers will ever be able to get in on them by literally sitting at their keyboard for days on end without ever getting a breath of fresh air, that's a problem, one that Blue doesn't have. Blue is in a perfect balance right now, there's enough people to group and do content with, competition for high-demand camps and mobs, but not so much that you have to forego any sort of outside life to even be able to get in on.

Or Blue.

But also keep in mind that Verant knew AC (in particular) would be popular, and that's why OOT isn't the only AC: there are three other zones you can try and get him in ... it's just they require tracking and/or clearing placeholders and/or showing up at certain times: http://wiki.project1999.com/Ancient%20Cyclops

But ultimately when you have X people that want a thing, and that thing only appears once every Y times, someone is going to have to wait X * Y times to get that thing. That's unavoidable, unless you change the game (which defeats the point of Green).

I'm a Blue boy (with a bit of Red alt), through and through. But the title of this thread made me genuinely concerned for the life expectancy of Green. The last thing Green needs is another TMO coming in and monopolizing the entire server by putting a steel padlock on all the high-end Raid and Epic content.

If they shut blue and green down red pop would go up a lot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People are inherently lazy then complain about having to share or being told to share. Or wait because they are ineffectual at gaming whatever the current system is.

This is what is defective about *working together peacefully **ism*. I'm not saying there aren't elements to either that don't work but the slippery slope to /lists is real.
