I've seen people log off briefly, come back speaking different languages casting different spells sitting in different spots - all while maintaining their spot on the "list" my best advice is to find a trusted friend and park yourself there 24/7.

That could have been legit. I had a friend camp it for 70 hours w/o relief, and the last day in /gu he was speaking in tongues and prophesying doom Book of Revelations-style.

But I was speaking about people that log off for 2-5 minutes and come back and suddenly are behaving drastically different, its almost as if.... GASP, they're a totally different person tapping in!

Ugh! I fear the reason it is camped goes beyond the "I want one for my personal use". I would imagine you have people camping it for big plat selling them later or GASP! breaking the rules and selling for real money. I guess that is the part of Everquest which made it unique, no instances and the competition of who can bare the brunt of their ass on a chair the longest or come up with a plan that utilizes several people to prevent the casual from having a chance.

Still love the game. I am sure I will try. We will see how I endure.

I just did an almost 100 hour camp. Literally everyone who got the stone was using relief.

I once got on at 4, and fell asleep at 1. Person before me only /list a total of 7.5 hours until manastone, and I would’ve gotten mine in like 26 or 27 total hours total (so person after me got it in like 20-24 then).

It isn’t impossible, but you need to get super lucky. /list under 4 and lots of drops. I just dont really see a short list happening after merge, though.
