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

[Domo]

I wouldnt be supriced if some poopsocker would farm a 2nd and 3rd one for their twinks hehe

[Bazia]

its obvious that this incentives like 3 friends sharing account info and taking turns on each others accounts to beef up lines singular people could not possibly wait through

i feel kinda stupid that i didnt realize this is what would happen fairly quickly

[Solist]

they're not every 15, I just got one after 6mins.

I estimated about 400 total when I crunched the numbers in my head.

Then I think how many will make it to velious. People who still stop playing, manastones banned off the server.

I'd bet around 200 or less will make it to velious and be active.

and then how many will actually be of any use to content or groups or raids?

There's only one class who can use the manastone for free at 0 cost to their health and can use it in Kunark / Velious at no mana cost as well to leave to a classic zone, and the majority of the users will not be that class ;p

Agree, and given the absolute stupendous conditions around camping them, and the singular nature of most peoples manastone acquisition, you won't be 'trading' for them very much or often, And that's ignoring any 'future' investment from people betting on a blue merger and hoarding their little investment.

With whats involved it's easily the most hardcore, and most difficult item I've ever tried to obtain so far in 10yrs of p1999.

I mean cleric and druid are the main users of manastone in classic lands where it works.

Not sure how many people are aware it doesn't work in kunark/velious zones.

[Gustoo]

I got it,

Lets just give everyone a manabone when you create a new toon.

Jesus, I had a manastone on my cleric on another classic server. It was nice, but it wasn't nearly as godly as most are making it out to be. Essentially with complete heal you never went OOM, but you had to click that damn thing and recast CH so many times it sucked the fun out of the game.

Spent 14hrs at camp before calling it quits. I knew it was a long shot and honestly my class ENC will not need it once Kunark drops so it was more for they "Hey I tried back when it was a thing".

During that time I did track my AFK checks with stopwatch (nothing to do) and it would run anywhere from 6 mins to 12 min gaps.

Also some people would drop and others joined so it's not a static list. I personally like the list system since I know I won't be bullied out of my spot by some group who can perma camp the spot.

Perfect example of no list is the Shralok Pack in Kithicore Forest. I tried to go get one it's not super hard mob and I found a guy sitting on camp so I respect his there first and wait.... He killed and got the pack so I said ok cool it's my turn... Nope he refused to leave the camp and said he was after 3 more.... I said screw that man you got one I'm taking next one... GM threats was made by him and essentially I was ask to leave when 4 of his guildies showed up and said he was holding camp for them...

SOOOoooo I'm beyond glad this list system exist and a solo player like me can get a chance at these unique items.
