ivandry's hoop.

And No one did recharging in classic dude. Maybe a small fraction of the community even knew about that stuff.

Yeah, for a long time vendor recharging was not talked about openly for fear of the nerfbat.

To be honest, I probably will never camp something if there is already someone in the spot or is just about to leave. I find my time is better used in just farming plat. So this whole issue doesn't really apply to me. I find this game enjoyable even if you have the no-lifers taking up camps for months.

I appreciate the idea that we want to keep everything the way people remember it back in 1999 but it feels like there are certain aspects of this game back then that really sucked and do more harm than good, such as corpsing and the rampant MQ Market driving people to perma-camp content.

Would the majority of players prefer there to be no way to corpse items and MQ? I think they would. I personally am happy I can pay for an MQ item because I have a wife and 4 kids - ain't nobody got time for camps.

^ This is me. I stopped giving enough shits back in 2005.

The sucky stuff is all just part of the concept.

And we are all Mongos-- just pawns in Rogean & Nilbog's game of 15-yr-old elf pixels.

Game mechanics that are technically "classic" historically, but that are fostering a very un-classic environment given the 2014 knowledge base among the server population at large, should be seriously examined and removal of said mechanics should at least be considered.

Maybe put it up to a vote or something, cause level 1s with epics and item recharging being standard guild policy and lore item corpsing were nowhere near this prevalent on live during the classic era, and it stands to reason all of these things would have been nerfed by verant were they so widely abused back then.

wow just wow

People need to stop looking at their memories and stating "IT WAS NOT PREVALENT WHEN I PLAYED ON LIVE or whatever words you want to think of"

Guess what it was done one live. People (said no lifers or whatever term you want to use) would find ways to corpse lore items. I personally would place ac rings on bodies throughout ocean of tears and south ro. "oh dude did it drop ?" tell random person on list my response Sorry no. Then i would go run to "sell" and make a corpse and come back to my camp.

We have only one server not 5 to 20 server to spread the neck beards about so this behavior is MORE noticeable here.

Deruable and other Staffers have stated on many occasions that it does not matter how many people get pissed about the classic nature of this server. They will make changes or not NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE LEAVE OR GET THEIR PANTIES IN A TWIST.

They have made plenty of changes to classic mechanics such as the ivandys hoops ect.... Thankfully this server won't see AAs because the first month wizards guilded up and went around ManaBurning raid targets from 100% to dead in less then 60 seconds, this happened on my server and said wizard guild would offer their manaburning services for plat or loot like a mercenary

Yes they have made game balance changes toward raids , but guess what corpse lore item is not GAME BALANCE for raids. Entire raid environment are not being affected by a few neckbeards sitting on a camp for days on end in some extreme cases.

IF you feel that person camping jboot is not following the rules as put forth in this thread and the 2 or others with similar discussion THEN petition it. WORST case the staff will tell you person is following rules best case you get the camp.
