The release of Kunark will be a turning point I think.

Unless the population explodes even further. We have to remember that we might be replicating the game back in 1999 but not the player base. IMO the people returning to classic EQ after so long are on the hard-core powergame end.

I was thinking that the release of Kunark will shift the permacamped spots somewhat to other areas, and add the fact that it is new content, the farmers will move there to take advantage of the "newer" loot.

Said camps will just be replaced by someone new.Chika said summed it up in a nutshell,couldn't have stated it better.

"Whether it was classic bug or not, it was a bug, lore means lore, not lore and as many as you can stuff your corpses with. Things are made lore precisely to prevent this kind of behavior."

I completely agree with the concept. I think though, that some people enjoy the game differently; I like to just play, kill stuff, try to upgrade gear occasionally, group with people and explore. Some others like to amass as much plat as possible and get every class to the maximum level, raid top content and powergame x10. I can understand the appeal, I suppose, of the latter but this isn't live; this is Sparta!

IMO, the body camping is an exploit.
