Someone took my spawn and I partitioned . . But no response

Wrong. I guess I should have been more clear in my explanation. If you are sitting on a single spawn point, then sure, you can "camp" it. But if you and another player are camping 1 spawn point each, and fighting over a 3rd spawn point (that is not camped by someone), that NPC then becomes FTE. Don't expect to sit on multiple spawn points and claim it as a camp, you get 1 spawn point, the rest are FTE.

does this apply only to SF island? what about other zones for example Karnors Castle?

Its people like this that keep the guides busy...

Learn to share. Put your rule book down.

What's wrong with someone wanting to know the rules of the game they're playing?

Honestly I'd think that if more people knew and abided by the server rules we'd have a better server with less work for GMs, not more.

I believe outdoor zones default to FTE, with the exception being that someone can camp a single spawn point. In dungeons (eg. Karnors) you can camp as many spawn points as you want, but if someone else wants one you either have to let them have it or make it your sole camp.

But until someone actually writes down all the server rules in one place please take anything I or anyone else says with a massive pile of salt (except when a GM/guide says something, although as this thread showed even they can be misunderstood).

IMO if SOE never punished for cases like these (or it was a rule but they never did anything about it) then they shouldn't be punished here so as to be more classic.

Live allowed boxing because it made them more money and the cost of accounts (and physical boxes, if you didn't use EQW) limited the amount of boxing. P99 doesn't allow boxing because boxing is free here so everyone would box.

Same deal with the rules: we don't have paid GMs, and we have plenty of other differences from live, so we shouldn't expect to have the same exact rules as live.

Same thing happened to me except it wasn't seafurry island but a normal mob, not response 3 weeks later = /

Which is why defending your camp is important.

Seafuries definitely bring out the worst in people. I was always under the impression that if you were holding down 1 static spawn you could claim it as a camp even if it was outdoors as long as you maintained a presence and were killing it right as it spawned. I do agree though that if you bring GMs into the mix you may get a different answer depending on the day and who responds.

Regardless of whatever the actual "rule" is if you and a friend had been sitting on one spawn for over an hour and a Mage parks their pet right on top of you that's a crappy thing to do. You would think someone would see 2 people holding down one Seafury spawn and leave them in peace considering there is very little money in 1 spawn split 2 ways.

I was duoing seafuries (on wiz) with a druid. We were very respectful and didn't quad, even though it would have been pretty entertaining for us.

We were actually there to kill the corrupted cyclops, but were killing regular sea furies to pass the time.

We had no problems with people intentionally stealing our pulls, we did have a couple of times when our spells landed at similar times to another players, but no one sperged out.

We even had a shaman offer to epic click our mobs to help us kill them faster and turn over the respawns more quickly.

To be honest the cash wasn't great. The only 'complaint' we could have about OOT was our names mysteriously disappearing from the AC camp list... Perhaps we unwittingly tagged someone elses mob and they used the list for revenge, or we got scrubbed from the list while briefly out of zone to grab potG/C?

Someone did spawn the corrupted while we were out of zone and was kind enough to let our druid loot the rot item.

Edit: actually, I do remember one thing. Someone ran Quarg directly on top of the spot on the beach we had been camping. That sucked. But overall, the island was far less wild west than the forums suggest. Wasn't great cash either though. I think I make more pulling names on my ranger in KC.
