The list was not meant to prevent people from working together to get manastones. The problem with groups passing camps to friends is that it locks others out of the camp. With the /list, no one can be locked out. Anyone can join and wait in line. No one can keep you from joining the list.

If you want a manastone, you’ll have to work together with a couple other people and a shared character.

The funniest part is all these people getting manastone or in line for one have no idea how to use them or how useful they actually are. I've grouped with wizards stoning themselves to 10%, then nuking their balls off only to get agro an die or have our healer waste their mana healing them instead of the tank.
Mana stone at best gives you 1mana/per tick, or 10 mana a min, because you are regenerating only 30 hps a min, it takes 60 hps to get 20 mana.
Only clerics could get better now using Complete heal and 2k-ish hps, but clerics have to be 39 for complete heal, when Kunark hits the mana stones will be worthless because anyone 30+ is going to be in Kunark, and you can't use them in Kunark. When Kunark hits stones will be completely worthless until epics hits like 6 months later, even then only the wizard could use it effectively after epics hit. So the real market is clerics now until Kunark, then no one till the epics hit, then the wizard after epics. So manastones now might be worth 50k-70k tops, they should tank after Kunark because of the old world restriction, mild up tick in price after epics hit. Would you pay 100k for a manastone, or Fungi Tunic/mana robe? Mana robe can give Wizards with epic about 300 extra mana per min on top of their natural mana regeneration, the mana stone could give them 720 mana per min, but they would have to gate to the old world, then gate back to Kunark. The time it takes to zone an the mana you waste to gate there an back make the mana robe about as efficient. An then if you're deep in Sebilis you can't bind and gate back in, so you could only use the mana robe. An that's where everyone is going, Sebilis. Instead of mindless telling each other how good it is, how about using your brain an put some solid stats up backing up the claims?
FYI- Necros and Shamans get better life to mana conversion spells than the mana stone conversion rate.

Think of it this way - the devs have found the perfect way to keep the most pixel-hungry neckbeards busy for 130 hours at a time, all sitting at one spot, not plaguing the rest of the server. List camps are a blessing for 99.9% of the players.

Summed up nicely, and anyone part of the "I want it now" club needs to realize that good things come to those who wait.

Start waiting and stop ranting for maximum success. Very few perceived server related issues were ever fixed by ranting on the forums.

Once corona really picks up in the US the lists are going to get insane.

I'm looking forward to Coronavirus actually. We are mandated to WFH indefinitely starting tomorrow, and the lack of commuting into London is going to mean more time for Splitpaw zone building.

What is your guide for rebuilding old paw? Was the zone ever laid out and detailed anywhere pre-revamp?
