Lower Level Camping

If indeed TLC is legitimately classic, then say something and bring out the proof. Classic is what we're aiming for, right? More to look forward to when Velious is released, right?

Well; http://everquest.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=235

It was only on Live for 10 months and only ever affected two zones unless you played on Firiona Vie, but it did exist. It allegedly came back a couple of times post-Luclin, but never stayed if it did.

I think low-level camping is just irritating rather than game-breaking. I have logged in my rogue at 9am GMT to go and grab the Shralok pack and found myself the only one doing it, but still don't have one because I didn't have the patience. Maybe when I visit HH to find the original owner of Never Stop Chopping, I might see if Refcek is around, but I probably would not camp him.

The issue with camping is really when an item is needed for a quest. Any magician hoping to kill Quillmane for their epic is competing against people who just want the Pegasus Feather Cloak, for example; a group which rarely includes level 30s. And a paladin who needs Ghoulbane for their epic (currently) needs to go and camp a popular (among paladins) level 30 mob. The game is specifically written so a lot of quests get completed multiple times, once for the end result and once (or more) for intermediate items.
