Keep it real, Keep it classic, Keep it pvp.

Oddly enough, relogging back into an active LD character is classic. EQ originally disabled it due to a duplication bug where you'd relog and be able to loot a corpse if your LD toon died as you were zoning back in. The corpse would have all your gear, and you would as well.

Is there a way to keep a 30 minute counter on people that LD? If they LD once.. and they login again in the next 30 minutes.... :and plug a second time: they stay in zone for 10 minutes as a free kill..

Everyone LD's from time to time.. Most of the time people that LD try to log back in after a few minutes and end up plugging 2, 3, 4 or more.. until the attackers get tired of waiting.

I think with exp on the line, people are going to plug more often.

I'm against plugging but then again do I really want to lose 2 hours of grinding? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dont see the problem with plugging or LD.... you mad because you didnt get someone to kill?

just sit down and wait for him to logg in then if you most kill him or just go and find someone else..... what is the problem?

You're just cheating people out of the plat they can loot from you.

Just FYI - if you stream netflix while playing EQ you'll zone-crash far more frequently

I'm still crashing a lot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always play windowed and I'm alt tabbed more then I'm in game. That might have something to do with it but... Every mana class gotta sit 5-15 min to regen up mana, not much else to do during that time.

It doesn't really matter if red99 has zone plugging or not. However anyone who is trying to get it removed by calling it an exploit is deluding them selves. Having a personal dislike for something and calling it an exploit does not a valid argument make. Unless an actual EQ live developer is trolling these forums and can state one way or the other. Sure it may not have been initially intended but from what I have read they haven't done a single thing to that prevents a player from plugging. Nor have they commented saying they thought it was an exploit.

Now I played on Tallon Zek during my live days and even though there was some plugging I still had more fun with Everquest PvP than I have in any MMo since. PvP battles in EQ live were great, from the massive guild fights over bosses to the smaller group fights over camps. There was a real objective to these battles. Not just points or rankings, but fighting to get the better leveling spot or to get the better gear. These things would increase your chances of winning in your next encounter.

It can be a little disappointing when your chasing someone and they plug, so just find someone else to kill if your just out to PvP. If you were fighting over content just revel in the fact that you won because now that content is yours if you attacked them or you get to keep your content if they were the aggressors.
