I know the route, that's not the problem. The problem was always having to swim past a bunch of stunning, dispelling, nuking, hard-hitting, see-invis garbage. Was 100x easier and risk-free to just sit in that corner and camp 3 times than to go past all that garbage. Yeah succor is an option if you happen to have a druid/wiz in the group, but if you're by yourself, it's just unpleasant at best. And I would rather pay for a rez than donate more than 50pp for a succor.

have some pride as a gamer. make the run. laugh at the fools trying to camp exploit. laugh harder at the folks who die. laugh the hardest at the ones who lose their corpse. this is the way of eq. follow it, my son.

Invis, Left, up, left. Boom, you're in WW. The only realistic problem you can run into are the 2-4 seahorses that see invis if you're a clothie.

Never had any issue in here with divine aura and clr buffs (self). I think it'd be a rough run for an enchanter or something, though.

sow and run really fast, know you're way and make no wrong turns and you will be fine. I made it through on live plenty of times with minimal gear. (Velious was the current expansion at the time too)

Basically,what you did was go into the corner at zone in as close into the corner and camp. When you come back in, you'll be slightly in the wall. After 3 camps or so, it'll put you on the other side.

What it's doing is relying on the game mechanic that says if you're in a wall, you'll be moved to the safe point.

Yes, it was an exploit. I used to give warnings for it all the time when I was a guide.

Camping into wall until you basically drop/end up at evac point will not work. Same reason why you get stuck in so many corners where spam ducking doesn't help, you need to auto-run til you get "unstuck" along with many many other pathing/corner BS you'll run into here on P99 compared to live, not sure what to define that "Code" as but its very different here then live, all of which I can agree with for most part.

It's rough as an int caster right now. If you aren't fast the seahorses will warp onto you as you jump onto the ledge after the big fall. Seahorses aren't acting like they did on live where they would lose aggro when you got out of the water. I used my 39 pet(higher level pets are bugged) to pull one up onto ledge.
