How could you enforce a no alt rule?

Ps if everything was no drop people would loot rots on low levels because items had no value and youd see twinks in the best gear possible increase by a large margin.

This guy gets it. Any other old farts remember live before the level 46 minimum to enter Fear/Hate? The dominant raiding guilds of the time were locking down Fear/Hate to gear 20-something alts with planar armor. The nodrop-only notion would cause that disease to spread unchecked across the entire server. In a resource-limited environment like EQ, when people can't buy gear to twink with they arrange camps to do it. And when p99 lootwhores go to that much trouble they don't stop, they'd lock-down camps until all their guildies and e-friends and every last one of their shirt-tail relative's 17 alts were geared, selling loot rights once in a while if they needed extra pp to skill up some crafting or for hate & sky stones.

Make the big items no drop and ironically you'd have a more classic representation of a 1999 era server.

Add in a simple rule preventing anyone selling "loot rights" and thats a recipe for a good old time where people can level up and get guises, manastones etc for themselves rather than locking down "camp x" to sell 25-50 of an item in order to buy something like a manastone.
