I remember Holgresh Elder Beads and the camp was never, ever crazy on Veeshan, one of the biggest servers.

It's quite problematic when you tell people in advance that items will be removed. It's also problematic when said item is droppable and thus can sell for a fortune.

Because back in the day, it wasn't EVErYBODY farming them, it was a select few classes and people. Hell, the camp was empty most of the time. Perhaps they need a No drop tag added to them.

Same goes for Ornate Velium Pendant. Those were not camped whatsoever. They were given out at raids in Icewell for whoever the hell wanted them.

I dunno, it's tough. I dislike non classic changes, but people behave in such a way that they make things not classic, and that sucks. Maybe they need to make a rule against account sharing too, so people can't just keep swapping with each other to stay in line and create these long lines that aren't reasonable for any normal, lawful goods.

I'm with you, Sadge, we should all be handed manastones and rubi BPs when we roll our toons. This is the way.

Ornate Pendants aren’t a list camp. Given the large number of mobs, how tough they are (can’t be rooted or snared), and the relatively reason drop rate (5-10%), it’s actually a pretty non-toxic camp on Green right now. People are friendly, there are even the occasion pickup groups (though mostly soloers and guild groups).

They should. This project is fucked because you freaks blindly scream for your personal vision of Classic and complain CONSTANTLY.

It also doesn't matter how it was then. Because making it "classic" would just cause a lot of head aches for GMs - /lists aren't classic but we have seen the alternative already.

multi day camps are extremely classic, you know why the term poopsocking was invented right? either man up and take some time off work to get beads, or just don't get beads. simple as. it's a desirable item which only drops in a limited timeframe, if 20 people want it more than you then that's a you problem.

it's also fucking hilarious to hear the guy constantly crowing about the P99 wiki, probably the single most unclassic information repository, complain that lists aren't classic.

remove the p99 wiki

35-40+ hours depending on a lot. Mine was about 36.

I had 8 hours when I finally got to 1, someone I know had 13+ (not sure of they got them in the end).

Facts. You can completely miss me with those stupid fucking camps personally, but I agree with the requirement to put the time in for those that want it.

Colossal facts on the wiki dude lmaoooo
