Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but am I to understand that when my monk(1st character) is of the appropriate level to get in a frenzy group, it won't happen because it's perma camped by soloers farming the sash for plat? Are there never level appropriate groups there?

Welcome to the world of OVER 9000! bored L60s. 4 years after Kunark release LGuk should be a mostly empty wasteland because everybody's moved on to better content. Here LGuk is a mostly empty wasteland because overpowered individual toons with nothing more productive to occupy their time and interest solo-camp lower level group content for hours on end. This community needs Velious.

I can understand that. I would hope some people might let a group take their place if they wanted though.

To be honest, it really bums me out that I might never be able to get a fbss on here. It's one of the items I coveted the most when I first started(release day 99) and was beyond stoked to finally get after so many weeks of camping frenzied. And while I've managed to make enough cash to get some good weapons and armor, stuff like fbss and fungi are so overpriced for the amount of them flooding the server, I'll be long past their usefulness before I ever have enough plat to buy one, thus camping being the only option.

Ohh well, maybe I'll just camp GBS or fishbone and hope to get lucky and make some quick plat = )

That's probably the most overdramatic you could possibly be. Frenzy is empty a lot, and lguk is filled with groups of 30s and 40s most of the time.

I hope that is the case. Some of my fondest memories of classic was my time spent in lguk(and solb, and seb).

Stop. Stop right there. I'm diagnosing you with forum-itis:

forumitis - a condition that affects new Project 1999 players who make the mistake of reading the forums before spending enough time in Norath first. The toxicity in the Project 1999 forums can cause the afflicted to believe horrible/false things about the server, unlike more experienced players who (by playing the game) have hardened their immune systems against this toxicity.

My prescription: stop reading the forum. Go play the game, and when you get to 60, or at least the 50's, then come back here and try to read without letting the negativity on these forums affect you.

I doubt you'll follow that advice, but I guarantee you will have more fun if you do.

Yeah...the other 4k people playing here who have FBSSs and Fungis are so special. If you want to get an FBSS and you can't get one you are doing something wrong. Its true that you will most likely find it easier to save the pp and buy one than to farm it yourself. Thats how EQ goes with some items. If you really feel like its more fun to get to the item to drop yourself then bring some friends a few nights to LGUK while leveling and try to get the camp...then hope you win the roll or your friends give it to you.

Nothing is stopping you from getting one.

(and, don't get frustrated and cut a corner with RMT---they will ban you and give you a real problem to cry about [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

Not exactly. You make a point about Velious late release affecting the server, but it isn't the cause of all problems.

Even if Velious had been released three years ago FBSS would still be perma-camped in lguk...just like it was on live.

Its a good item that basicly every non-planar melee toon on the server would use. It can be solo'd at pre-lvl 50 by some classes and sells for 8k-ish. It was perma-camped in classic, kunark, and will continue to be in velious. The price may drop a bit as a couple new haste items enter the game, but it will hardly become worthless.

Every woe of p99 is not the fault of the timeline, somethings are just authentic EQ problems. Lguk isn't over camped. The Frenzy and AM camps are because they are lower lvl content that drop needed items (i.e. have value even if you wouldn't use them yourself). Most of Lguk is open for exp groups, and there are a few PUG groups running there on most nights. Most of the tower nameds are not perma-camped, with the slight exception of sage sometimes and ASS/SUP. The zone, in other words, is being appropriately farmed for the era of the game we are in...and it will not change with velious release.
