I know that I would have never bothered with blue if people could just come take whatever they wanted after I spent X hours camping it.
Nobody owns a camp and EQ was never intended for people to sit in the same spot all day long. If you don't want people to take your camp, then defend it by forming a group that is good enough to defeat the opposition. You are perfectly free to roll up to another camp as well and fight for it.

There is diplomacy too. Maybe people don't feel like fighting and you can agree to take turns.

Aside from that, I don't ever recall Xegony having a problem with rampant killstealing/"might makes right" or I would have never played Live for 5 years.
Yes you would have played, if the game had kept being updated to better service the idea of a living world, instead of continually becoming more watered down.

Different player communities will have different quirks and percentages of people who want to play a certain way. You didn't play early EQ though if you are trying to say it didn't exist. 5 years is not Classic EQ either. The first year of EQ is far different from what came after.

I am well aware of what 5 years I played, and it included the first year. I know i would not have gotten into EQ if i was a paying subscriber just getting bullied by other paying subscribers.

Maybe your server/GM handled things differently prior to the PNP being codified... ever think of that as a possibility?

Sorry you played on a shitty server where people acted like absolute scumbags. I started in '99 and my server (Bertox) was most certainly not like this.

Keep your Stockholm syndrome to yourself. Nobody cares.

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul

I think Zuranthiam should try to use the puppy / puppy book analogy and apply it to project 1999 and training. "You see..... the puppy was like a train .... and the little boy (the playerbase) was lost..... in lower guk"
