Player was out of zone on an alt but logged in and took my camp

[Encroaching Death]

Can you claim CS Wyrvens?

[PatChapp]

A single wyvern spawn, yes

But not all of them in CS.

Thats why Geonids are fun.

Literally just a FTE fest when its semi busy.

[Chortles Snortles]

not necessarily, i've experienced staff decisions awarding players that zoned a train and ran back to the camp in less than 15 minutes even though i had enough time to kill 2-3 mobs that respawned

Staff has specifically stated you do not need to sit at a camp between spawns if it's not contested.

You're misquoting them and leaving out context.

You are allowed to leave the camp, but if you log out or otherwise leave the zone at all you have lost your rights to the camp. So, to use an easy example, if you're camping the sisters in LFay and run to vendor and you get back to the camp before the re-spawns start happening, then that's still your camp. If you run to Kelethin or Steamfont to use the bank, you've lost the camp. Or, if you log out or go LD, you've lost the camp.

Yes,you can't leave the zone or die,but otherwise you do not need to sit in front of the spawn.

Yes. But he said you can kill Hadden and still hunt the zone and claim Hadden when he spawns. That is wrong.

No. If someone comes and you arent there, you lost the camp.

I'm sorry, but you're misunderstanding the Camp Rules.

You can camp an infinite amount of mobs in the zone. As long as you make it back to each one before they respawn, they are all your camp.

But that last part is key: if you kill mob A, then go on to mob B, and someone else comes to mob A, sees it spawn, and waits a "reasonable" amount of time (the staff has never defined "reasonable"), they can take A from you. Again, it's only your's if you are back to catch the respawn within a "reasonable" amount of time.

So, getting back to Hadden, yes you can absolutely kill Hadden and Pyzjin, and a million wolves and bears and skeletons if you're bored enough. But to prevent someone else from killing Hadden, you need to kill him first, then be there when he respawns (or at least within a "reasonable" amount of time of him spawning).

So if someone else comes along and Hadden is up while you're off at Pyzjin, they don't even need to communicate with you: if they just wait a "reasonable" amount of time, they can safely kill Hadden. But as long as you time it right, and get back to Hadden before he respawns, he's yours ... and so is Pyzjin, assuming you killed her or her placeholders last.

The way someone else ends that is by showing up to either camp and saying "I want to camp this". You reply "I'm camping it and this other camp", and they can then reply "well, you have to pick one". You then have to choose which one you want exclusive rights on.

P.S. As a side note, I don't think this is the best policy for P99, personally. I think the "reasonable" amount of time should be clearly defined ... and I think it should be like 5 or 10 seconds.

I disagree. Need to be sitting near camp. If I show up in qeynos hills, run over to his spawn point and no one is around, I'm claiming the camp. Only reason I'd give camp up at that point is if someone in a "reasonable" amount of time said they were camping him and just went to go sell or whatever. If I sit for 5 hours waiting for spawn without anyone else showing up, while some dude is off camping Pzjin swoops in and kill steals me, I'm going to be pissed and petition. That ain't right. Sit at the Hadden spawn like everyone else does.
