People Boxing

[Alawen Everywhere]

On my last live server, Stromm, I two-boxed a warrior (Virgil) and a cleric (Daire). In Paludal Caverns, I met this cool rogue, Hutto, and he and I leveled together all the way to 65.

Hutto tends to be a quiet guy in group, although he's plenty conversational in tells. I got accused of three boxing almost daily. I have no clue why people thought I'd say that I was playing two if I were playing three.

My point is that people like to make snap judgments about things based on flimsy evidence and then they will stubbornly cling to that erroneous opinion. To this day, I have little doubt that many people still think I was boxing Hutto.

After not seeing each other for seven years, Hutto and I met again on Project 1999. What's up Hutto!

So I found out that the person I was talking about was doing some sort of chain camping.

He would camp a mob, then he would go AFK and his friend would hold the camp for him until he decided to come back. Then before one would leave, another friend would come and hold the camp. What is the ruling on that?

Original Camper Goes afk. Camper Friend 1 holds camp. Camper friend 2 comes into the zone takes over, Camper friend 1 logs. Original Camper comes back for a second, goes AFK again.

Original Camper never left technically.

So that situation I am screwed right. AC in SRo camp.

Sorta off topic, but..

No, if you were in zone waiting at the camp location, you're next in line over the 'friend'. Once the original camper goes afk and ignores the spawn, move in, it's yours now.

Think you're incorrect on that one...

7. We do not have a rule for how a camp will be handed off to another player. It is recommended the player interested in obtaining a camp work that out with who is on the camp already.
*Example* Player a is on jboots, player b comes and sits and just waits. If player a wants to hand off to his friend rather than player b, he has that right. If player a wants to hold a list and give to the next player on that list, that is also his right. GMs will not moderate that unless player b can prove he was deceived by player a with how the camp would be handed off.

Sorry, but I don't buy the 'hand-off' rule. Sounds like a cheap way for a couple people to keep something perma-camped.

Take the camp once the first player leaves, to hell with what the replacement player thinks. You've been waiting patiently for hours for a shot at it, don't give up.

There is a real possibility that the person IS multi-boxing but logging on alts to get the loot on them

I was just about to post that Loke. Yeah, there is no set-in-stone way for you to get that camp, short of the guy already there giving it to you. And he doesn't have to, he can hand it off to guildies or friends all day and night if he wants to.
