1 Guise in 24 hours? no manastone in 32 Hours

Just camp it or dont.

Everyone knows what they're signing up for by wanting a guise or manastone

Pay 300k for it in 3 years like the rest of us

The problem is only people who abuse non classic account sharing are even allowed to get one in the first place. It should have been changed the first month or so when it was realized what a failure this list system is for the rarer legacy items... it works fine for the guise.

Non classic list
Non classic account sharing
All to supposedly ensure a small group of people can't control the spawn, except ironically it does the very same thing it's suppose to prevent while eschewing classicness all together.

They messed the drop rate on p99 hard.

They should atleast make the drop rate classic for each server. I really dont get why they would half the drop rate just cause they opened a second server(teal). In classic when they kept opening up new servers because the population kept growing, did they reduce the drop rates so that only a set amount of manastones would drop across all servers? No of course they didnt. It seems kind of wrong to punish the player base (by reducing drop rate) just because the games popularity was greater than expected resulting in a second server.

no one camped anything for 20 hours in 1999 they just played a few hours and hoped to get lucky.

Not true. I can't say it was '99 as it may have been '00 but I certainly did a few 36+ hour camps...

dial up did not even allow anyone to spend more then 45 mins or an hour doing anything

"I spent 20 hours on Memorial Day weekend 1999 praying to Marr that Najena would appear only to slay elemental after elemental. I got the robe…and then promptly quit playing the game for the majority of the summer. I was burned out.

One weekend I camped the Ancient Cyclops spawn for 24 straight hours. In that time, he appeared once, after 7 hours. It wasn’t my turn to loot. I waited 17 more hours and never saw him again in that time. Powerful as Nenelar is, soloing the Cyclops placeholder for most of that time, I left exhausted and empty-handed.

The next weekend I camped the Arch Ghoul Magi for 20 straight hours. In that time the Magi appeared 8 times, dropping the Shining Metallic Robe twice. I was number 6 on the original loot order. Two ahead of me got their robes while the others gave up early. I camped at the top of the order for 12 hours only seeing the Magi only twice. On both occasions he had only silversilk leggings…not the robe."

Maybe where you live, but I was playing multiplayer games for hours on end in 1991.

What? I lived in Vegas and my roommate and I had a cable modem. When we move back to Ca and went to University, we had a T1 line. These were things back then. I specifically remember camping items on rotation for days back then.
