The only camp outside of this rule is the Chancellor of Dizok, which is first-come-first serve, so sit your ass in line.

Why is that?

[falkun]

Because Chancellor spawned once every 4 hours, and he drops 1 of 2 pieces of the key quest to the Howling Stones key. A certain guild (I'm not stating because I'm not 100% sure here, I was still leveling to planar at the beginning of Kunark) kept handing off the camp to its guildies instead of handing off to the next person in line (who had usually been sitting there for 8-16 hours (2-4 spawns ahead of time)).

After a while the GMs got tired of responding to disputes at the camp and declared the camp first-come-first-serve. They've also since moved him to a 2 hour spawn I believe, which I don't know if that's for classic reasons or because it was a stupid c-block.

So basically if enough people annoy the hell out of GM's you can have any camp declared fcfs?

good to know ;P

[falkun]

Eh, good luck "annoying the hell out of GMs" as a single person. Do that enough and you'll likely take a vacation. Now if you get a large enough group of un-related people, then you might have a chance.

[Llodd]

Yeah which is why I said "if enough ppl"....

Dude, the raid scene had been a Cluster F--k since the beginning. You think they are going to change little piss ass things because a few complain when whole Guilds go off the deep edge about camp stealing and training. [You must be logged in to view images.

I don't see how handing off a camp could be anything but legal. If you're in a camp and your cleric has to log you replace the cleric. If you're camping something and your friends wants to come you let your friend join. And then maybe you have to go but your friend's still at the camp. Camp belongs to your friend.


Do I like it? Not when I want a camp and there's a group there already, but sucks to be me at that point.

Simply put handing over a camp is completely legal.

Unless otherwise directed by a GM... like that loio camp at one point.

On The Trib, it was pretty much a queue system. And if you left for no good reason (like a LD, or asked to rez somebody not too far), you would lose your spot in the queue. Made much more sense than handing over the camp to whoever you want, but that's the rules here. Need to do with it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Despite potential for abuse, I LOVE THIS CAMP SYSTEM OVER CLASSIC. This is probably the best change that P99 has had to offer... a comprehensive camping system that Classic never had.

I fully support it because it has proven to be extremely stable over the years.

FIFO queue was at least as stable and comprehensive. It also had the advantage of avoiding camp lock down and abuse. Someone must wonder why the FIFO was used when the LoIO key camp became absurd.
Locking raid targets by outmobilizing, I can understand. Locking camps just because you can hand over to your friend? Naaah. But I don't make the rules, so more power to you XD
