Being blunt - what's the end game like ?

[Argh]

Every guild that can kill raid mobs gets their own epics. It also depends on what class epic since some are incredibly easy and some are incredibly rare.

Camps that have good drops are sought after, and are frequently contested. Nothing is 'perma camped' really. Don't expect to show up in lguk at prime time and have your choice of camps, but if you want to get on a list or come back when theres less players, you'll probably get whatever camp you want.
