It sounds like the OP cleric entered after the spawn, so couldn't call the camp.

You could start your "camp" now for the next spawn, right?

Who gets rage is determined by who turns in their pearl. If you have a decent size force you want to turn in your pearl while engaging rokyl, the 2 man teams will have a much harder time doing that, though not impossible. This guy was slow, clearly didn't understand that pearl = rage, and realizing that rage can drop upwards of 360k-ish in gear at any given kill. You don't fuck around with that kind of cash, you kill and go.

Its not technically seen that way here. If you afk for 5 mins and Rage spawns. Someone else could turn in before you and its their mob. This is the type of shit thats not against server rules and is accepted. In term we call that, being an asshat, or douchebaggery. There should be rules in place for something like this, but there isn't.

So it's not recognized as a camp? That is confusing.

Nope, it's considered a raid mob so FTE rules apply.

Triggered spawns:
Whoever hands their items into the ragefire human has triggered the encounter and their guild/raid force would receive the right to go first in that instance.

As much as I love the aspect and classicness of MQing quests, this is beginning to get really stupid. Half of the servers problems w economy and people being "asshats" could b solved by disabling this. No more plat to b made, no more selfish pixel hoarding, game is played as it was intended.

I shutter to think what guilds will charge for Velious quest armor MQs.... makes me kinda hope Velious doesnt happen for another 2 years so there can b time for some of these selfish players get bored n latch to another game to squeeze the fun out of. No wonder MMOs implmented instances, everyone born in the 90s feel they are entitled to everything bc they were born with the internet on their crib.

this sucks OP, im sorry this happened to you.

For the rest of you, no one is arguing whether this was against the rules or what the rules were or whether this was even a legit kill.

The issue is over whether Zagum and co were dickbags, and in this case they were, unquestionably.

I think all you people complaining should go camp a rare spawn for me for 6+ hours, then when it spawns, I'll show up and try to kill it. Then once you beat me to it, I'll then make some thread crying about how mean you are for not just letting me have the mob... I mean... you only camped it for 6 hours... and I neeeeeddzzz it!

My partner and I joined the P99 community in November 2010, myself leveling 2 characters over 50 and my partner 3 characters. My main is a level 60 Cleric - Elixa of Europa, and my wife plays a Level 60 Mage - Natcha of Europa.

Today (1st March 2013) I logged into EQ and was happy to see that my long time friend and guildy Slozem was planning to check for ragefire in Solb. To my surprise he was up and we proceeded to move to Solb, meeting some Divinty members along the way who were happy to help me attempt the final part of my epic. We planned to share any other loot between our 2 guilds <Europa> and <Divinity>.

We were un-contested and cleared all the fire giants to the lair, we killed the Magi Rokyl and had 2 remaining giants in camp. I got a couple of tells quite quickly saying that I needed to hand in the pearl asap as TMO were coming to try and leap frog us. To that I ran to the human form of ragefire with my pearl in hand, tried to click on him to open the trade window, but was already beaten by Hakata and his faster handing in of the pearl. Ragefire started attacking me, I backed away and Hakata pulled him to the stealthfully formed TMO camp.

We watched for some time as ragefire was trioed by Zagum, Hakata and a TMO cleric (I forget her name). No doubt this heart which has been obtained today will be added to the collection of hearts being sold in this thread: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=96614

Anyway, I find that currently this "community" of players that I am now gaming with leaving a bitter taste in my mouth when I logged off today. I have not been able to obtain my epic for a year now, I have not payed or given anything in return for each of my epic stages apart from my desire to help others complete quests or goals within this game. I am sure you can probably understand my disappointment when I am denied at the very last point of my epic quest to 3 people attempting to amass a horde of platinum.

I understand the rules of this server, and that these are needed to keep a large grey area opening up in guild disputes at the end game. Unfortunately I also remember a time when clearing nearly every fire giant with 3 groups of players and with a cleric hoping for the last mob in their epic quest would be a quite plain statement of intentions, any other group or guild respecting the mobilisation of those people who had logged in specifically to help.

What could be done about this? I am really not sure. But I thought you should know that on this great project and achievement in gaming that some cleaver people have created, moderate and administrate – populated by people who share the same love for this project there are players that treat others in this manner.

I think that if this type of community continues as it is, then we will be producing an environment that is not conducive to maintaining and growing new and good hearted players.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Traked this Ragefire for 9+ hours between the two of us, and we happened to be camped in lair. Not sure what this is about :P I camped out up top too, so the term leapfrog is inappropriate! We just happened to log on right next to RF and be prepared! Anyways, whats done is done.

Grats Kazoruuk on your new epic~

I am lost
@OP how many hours of your time did you invest into this ragefire? Did you expect to just walk into SolB and get this kill anytime you wanted to?

You think you somehow deserve this kill over Zagum and crew because you feel you are more deserving in some way? How do you come to this conclusion?
