Insanity :10 hours per manastone, there's like 12 people on the list now

Would be cool if you could store like 20min break time every 60min you're at the EE camp.

So if you camp the EE for 24h, you can log out for 8h without losing your postion.

Dunno, something like that, but it wont happen, so dont take this as a suggestion. Its just wishfull thinking from me

What if we scrap the entire list idea, and set up the camp like guilds used to do in eq. DKP. Time at the camp not afk aquires dkp. Whoever has the highest dkp when it drops gets the item, a lockout, and loses all dkp. This means the account sharers can amass dkp, but they lose it as well, and I can spend an hour a day at the camp, and potentially actually get a manastone. Time invested is directly rewarded.

This feels "healthier" from a real life perspective than expecting people to sit at their computers for days on end for virtual pixels. I understand, I have done it, doesn't mean we can't innovate.

I think it is less expectation and more resignation that /list is a less painful option for those running this box than ever expecting the pixel obsessed to work their shit out and find a compromise. I've gone from #9 to #4, and I could be in for another 20 hours or out of here in 5. Its as RNGesus wills it.

Grown ass men spending 10-20 hrs not actually playing an emulation of a 30 year old mmo but just staring at the screen waiting in line?

I've rediscovered my own terrible taste in music going through folders not opened since 2014, and watched about 6 movies now. But mostly I annoy everyone around me and feed on their suffering.

I'm looking forward to P99 getting some national news coverage when some nerd croaks from a 120-hour manastone session.

Let's get an R&F thread going for over under on manastone deaths (irl) in the next 6 months.


I can't wait for fungus staff /list

The problem with the current manastone list is that you HAVE to be at your computer for a bare minimum of 30 hours straight without sleep.

Here's the solution:

Rather than having a list system that is first come first serve.... have a system where looting is awarded to the player with the most CONTRIBUTION points. Contribution points are awarded when you have assisted in some way, shape, or form to the EE's death. The player with the most contribution points present when the EE dies gets to loot the manastone, resetting their contribution points to zero. Same rule applies where a player can't start accruing contribution points until a week after looting. Also, AFK check is still needed so a bard can't sit at the camp playing a song and rack up contribution points.

Isn't this how most raids work with "Dragon" points? If you spend 8 hours helping others get a manastone, your contribution should count for something.

I seriously think this will happen when Rogean eventually pulls the plug.

Free publicity? I think you've discovered the devious plan cooked up by the P99 devs.
