*sigh* I wasn't trying to hack the system. I just like to understand the nuances. For all I knew the pet would fry the mob and nobody would get exp.

I was just teasing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Trying to figure out clever ways to "hack" this game we've played for 20 years is something to be praised, not scorned.

Yes you can part your pet very far away. I am on red. I am afk killing PS / rotting skelly. However since afk = a free kill. The point is to park your pet somewhere, then park yourself in a little hidey hole someplace else where your not likely to be found or easily trained.

Just don't gate or use any "relocation" spells it nullifies the pet commands and it will start moving again. Still, exp going to waste, so I was wondering if someone would get exp even if I was out of range for it, and how much they would get.

Just to save some possible Blue readers from some pain, doing this on Blue will get your account banned. Technically I think it's also supposed to on Red, but as I understand it even GMs are afraid of visiting that server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Never played on blue, but I know for a fact this won't get you banned on red. people do this all the time. Not sure why it would be illegal on blue, they've said that log monitors are not illegal. Its not like im away afk, i'm here just afk.

Maybe I misunderstood, but it's not the log part that would be the problem. It sounded like you were parking your pet on a mob's spawn point, then letting it sit there and repeatedly kill spawns while you were AFK (or at least AWP, away from pet, which seems kinda gray). Depending on what exactly you're doing it could violate his server rule:

It is against the rules to "afk camp" any npc or groups of NPC's by placing a pet nearby and letting it kill while you are away from your computer. Any other form of "afk camping/xping" is also against the rules, and you may be subject to disciplinary action (character de-leveling by deathloop is a popular punishment).

But again, for rules to matter, they have to be enforced, which requires GMs ... and while I don't play there, as I understand it Red doesn't have those.
