Request for a different policy on (game-changing) specific item camps

That's a big load of bullshit and it's a stupid statement and calling waiting competition like another poster above you did is just as stupid. It doesn't take skill to wait and it's not fun either. Join a guild? Really? Really dude? My wife and I held the ancient croc for 47 hours a few months back , not to be dicks but to get 2 lousy sets of gatorscale leggings. Point being that we're only 2 people. People waiting in line for the camp were not less skilled and didn't enjoy the competition. It's pointless, like your post was.

cry more. i never said skill, i said dedication. L2Read

Is your cunt bleeding Vendar? I was stating how the shit works , if you don't like it find another server turdtickler. Dedication? Sitting at a camp nonstop to get some pixels on a 10 year old game isn't dedication numbnuts, it's a fucking waste of time, just like you are you stupid faghag.

Interesting idea but I have no idea how you'd enforce it.

Turn on PvP

If I get to the camp, and there is a queue, im taking the camp when its my turn... a person cant come after me and claim the camp no matter who's friend they are..

Even though I agree with you, that's not how it works. Or more precisely, "when it's your turn" I suppose is what's being debated here. It's not your turn till whoever has said camp is finished and passes it to you. If they want to keep it they can unless they leave die or zone. Ran into that at ancient cyclops in OOT, we were supposed to be "next in queue" and were actually present in OOT waiting, guy got the spawn, looted his ring and stayed there. When we asked why he wasn't moving he said cuz his friend was taking over. His friend didn't get there for another hour, so I petitioned not knowing the rules. Always assumed you looted what you came for and moved on. Not so.

I agree that the current situation is untenable. What these guilds are dong is greedy and mean-spirited, made more so because one of the items that is locked down is not going to be available forever. It's a bad, selfish attitude being shown here. It almost smacks of PVP type behavior within PVE constraints. Some of the justification given by those that support it sounds just like that.

The first thing that should be done is that the reputations of these guilds should be considered tarnished. The last thing that should be done is enacting any rules that require more work or attention on the part of the GMs. Somewhere in between these two extremes lies the best answer. The suggestion of the OP is not bad, but it may end up more work and more headache for GMs.

I think GMS and those that are currently "locked out" are just mostly hoping that the guilds will get tired of this and it will become a non-problem. If they do not cease this well before the COS will be nerfed, then I anticipate confrontations that GMS will get dragged into anyway - then nobody is gonna be happy.

Something does need to change, and it needs to change pretty soon. This is not "classic behavior" in our beloved classic game. What's more it runs contrary to the spirit of cooperative MMORPGs that EQ is supposed to embody.

Yes, actually, they can.

The fix is in the game itself, named mob which has itemx should spawn in other locations so there isn't really a way to lock him down unless you lock down the entire zone. I always thought Naggy or Vox should spawn in other zones.

the (original... current?) concept behind this server was to emulate the EQ live experience as much as possible. Unfortunately the dilema is that everyone knows which items get nerfed when (making it impossible to re-create a true live clone btw). Either way that would be a fundamental change to this game that many would not be down with.

But I digress...

The major guilds on the server have locked down most every valued item, and DEFINITELY all the items that get nerfed/taken out. Each of those guilds are probably bickering about their own respective queue's, so its hard if not impossible for people to get those items even when they are in the guild that has the camp. But even so, these guilds do fumble. Server down-time is a great chance for you to log in and snag a camp. Or even just literally waiting at the spawn until they go afk or whatever. This is an extremely hardcore bunch, so even if you are in a guild... you need to be dead-fucking serious about getting these items if you want them.

The idea of a nice peaceful line for that fungi staff u want is... not realistic.

I'm afraid your options are limited if you'd like some of those rare items:

• Guild up (best chance IMO, do it now if you want a shot)
• Absurd dedication (required even w/ guild.. prolly 3x if you aren't)
• pony up the plat (these items aint cheap though)
