The other thing about the /list items is that they aren't really technically ever "removed" unless they're no drop, like a guise. You can still get a manastone on green, just save up enough plat and wait until one is for sale! You might call that "guaranteed" in a sense. If you pour hours and hours into the game, you *can* still get one on a new character.

Guises are basically just fashionquest with a couple faction uses, it makes sense they should be no-drop and limited. If anyone can get a guise and use it at any time, you might as well just give every class illusion: dark elf as a base ability.

The people need to know when to take time off from work for the next green launch. We beg for an announcement of the future plans.

TLP players hate p99 lol

So let 'em argue and bicker. The folks who quit because they can't get that type of stuff are, I think, obsessing over unneeded stuff to an excessive degree and getting themselves bent out of shape over nothing of import.

Yeah - I like reset severs because it's all about the race which is my favorite competition in EQ "the race" butI think a lot of folks just like raiding which I understand. I dont though I just cant maintain my attention span to do all the rigamerolle that goes into it. I have web99's style s-posts on the forums to make!

Honestly they should just re-itemize the game. Bring back some of the mystery.

Ackshually, lists don't guarantee a drop either. They guarantee you a spot at the camp. You might get it in 1 hour or 100 hours. Lists don't change that.

If you continually held the fungi tunic camp until the next drop you would get it. Period. If you leave, you are done with the camp. List or no list, it's the same.

Lists are exactly the same with one important change: people can't just pass the camp to a friend/guildie of their choice AFTER they loot the item.

Anti-listers are either stupid, jealous, and/or don't have a lot of time to play.

They don't want what is 'fair,' they want whatever gives them a better chance at loot regardless of what is ackshually fair.

Period.

So, back in classic (you know, the thing this entire server is trying to emulate), what camps had people sitting for 24+ hours knowing they'd be guaranteed to get the next drop?

I remember the way lots (in fact, all) camps worked was that you'd show up for a few hours, and for those few hours you'd have a chance at an item. I don't remember any camps working the /list (1.0) way.

You are either stupid/unimaginative or just so selfish you can't see another angle.

You want to talk classic. Here's a question:

Question: In classic, did players holding camps where a rare, powerful item drops once every 20-100 hours usually decide to /random the item when it drops to whoever was around, regardless of how long people have been at the camp?

Answer: No

Your idea is worse than the current list. When you come up with something better, let us know.
