What if the server splits and you still can't get item in the time you have for your forced group? Up drop rates next

Server is packed to the tits. I couldn't have said it better[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are no items that I want. Before I got hit with the playnice stick, at level 32 I had every gear I wanted before it got phased out, box of abu, thex dagger and jboots.

[billwilliams]

What I do want is to be able to play a toon that I actually want to roll, like rogue, or warrior or monk, not a necro/sham/enchanter, and enter a place like Lguk and be able to join a group and have a CHANCE at a FBSS or executioner cloak or TBB etc, etc,. not play a game where I do not even BOTHER going to Lguk because I know all the item camps are already taken 24/7 by a level 50 soloer and I might as well find somwhere to grind PP to buy the item at EC tunnel because that is the only option you have.

So let me get this straight - you made 2 characters you didn't want to play, got them both to low 30s. Then got all the gear you wanted. Oh and finally raged out over some pp camp to get suspended ?

Now you're raging on about these hypothetical things you won't get to do with a character you for some reason didn't roll to begin with ? Maybe get your monk to level 50 before complaining you cant end game gear it . And I remember fbss being camped pretty hard even way back when

But you don't remember fbss being hard farmed solo and duo.

Whats the difference of you waiting 10 hours on a list to join a group or 10 hours on a list to take over from the people duoing it ? If you're there just for the chance at the item ??

I'm not sure I'm following here. Are you stating that that is the classic experience?

Lol I’m dying. Also, watching Turbo side with someone like Toeking just proves how nuts he is.

At any rate, 1200 people online on a Saturday. Hardly packed. People crying because they don’t like waiting in line for valuable stuff and want to be able to farm it themselves

I'm a bit confused. Realistically isn't it better for his situation trying to list up on a camp being soloed and then bringing his full group ? Otherwise if it was a full group on the camp he'd have to go somewhere else anyway and with that group only replacing one member every x hours it's even less likely? What am I missing ? A taken camp is a taken camp to a full group looking for it.

If the point is people are playing unhealthy amounts of hours on single camps or shady account sharing stuff / boxing etc - that is another matter that frankly no one can do anything about

Jerry, I'd like to hear what your recollection is of the classic experience grouping with friends and family with a group of upper 40s/50 back in 1999. I'm talking about the classic experience.
