Well, it's probably more broad than that. But I didn't petition and talk to the guide, a group mate did. I was too busy contemplating logging my druid in and clobbering the guy with an epic CB train for invading our secluded camp, which was broken as we had been there for an hour. But somehow ok by the guide *shrugs*. Next time the train-o-death and a dead twink kiter as far as I care.

I got to encounter this from the other side the other day. Thank you, Hobby, for clarifying the rules on the matter and offering me the camp to keep.

Briefly, I found a certain popular camp open and claimed it (individuals in the zone confirmed that no one had been present there for some time). Shortly after, another person showed up and claimed that he had been holding the camp down but had to gate and was re-claiming the camp (which he insisted he was entitled to by the rules). When the next repop happened, mobs that do not spawn in that room suddenly magically appeared in the room and I was forced to gate. Unfortunately, the GM did not see to confirm how the mobs arrived. I decided to just leave rather than deal with the drama, although Hobby kindly informed me that I had rights to the camp.

Not posting this to rehash the story, but thank you to Hobby for your assistance and your time. And to express frustration at people who write their own rules.

Just for shits and giggles I fully shaman buffed and sowed a ghoul Zuranthium had charmed in Oasis last week at Orc Highway. As fate would have it the ghoul promptly broke charm and killed him.

Anyone have any good camp stories from the past few days? haha.

Enough negativity, here is an irrelevant good story while i med up. I wanted to solo in SolA the other day, but would have had a hard time breaking certain areas like the Foreman room. Luckly there was a high lvl farming foreman/kobald but not the other mobs in those two rooms, so I hung out with him and solo'ed the other four mobs and sometimes the foreman PH. He got a few drops and I got a ding. Then he decided to leave, so I figured I would keep the foreman camp going in the nice rotation we had up and hopefully get a tunic. He logs back in saying he had a few more minutes, and at the same time foreman pops, so I start to take him out. After a nice fight, I get my tunic. There was no discussion about who had the claim to the foreman pop, since he left it was now mine. At the same time I also felt a little bad since he had gotten pretty unlucky and hadn't gotten many foreman/kobald pops (the next day I got two kobalds in a row and got myself one of each drop from those mobs [You must be logged in to view images.

TLDR It was fun being nice about a camp, for both of us.

I think I hit a nerve on Salty, maybe I exposed his key campstealing tactic. Don't freak out man its just a game.

No.

You people who are making up some rule about "if i die / go LD i have 30 minutes to reclaim a camp" are absolutely wrong.

The only time you have a period of time to reclaim a camp (which, by the way, its 20 minutes....) is when the server goes down for 1 reason or another...for EVERYONE. This means a) power outage at the Data Center, b) Patch time, c) server restart.....

If you die, if you go LD, if you leave your camp for any reason other than a sever crash/down time....then you lose the camp. Its that simple.

Think outside the bun Hobby
