Why cant TD Spirocs be considered one camp?

[Shamalam]

Holy shit, folks. Houndstooth asked one simple question about the server rules, and now he's a "greedy piece of shit?" Get over yourselves. We were clearing the entire island with three people and he just wanted to know how the PNP would apply if anyone else showed up and started killing "our" merbs. Seems like a pretty harmless question to me. By all means, though, keep getting those jimmies rustled whenever he shows up in a thread.

...also sorry to hear the answer wasn't what you wanted. Camps always an interesting topic with conflicting views.

Also, people are all about saying the red community keeps them away from playing etc.

I charmed a skeleton in KC last week, gave it a mandolin (I stay classy, no shitty torches). Run up to hands with my group that had just formed.

Some iksar monk (Sagisaurus) comes running in claiming I took his named mob (skeletal guardian isn't a named mob). Telling me to break the charm so he could pull it to his group, getting mad etc. I had to explain to him it wasn't a named mob and the mandolin was put on a pet that I'd charmed from the moat. He was simmering, but left.

TL;DR: Toxic players on both servers, its the internet... assholes sometimes play video games and elf sims.

I'm just new to the zone and thought i had pulled that one, not having seen a mandolin on a mob yet I was quite curious. Once you explained it was a pet I left and apologized. Definitely not simmering =)

One thing that happened to me that I wouldn't mind a second opinion on: I was running from ent to CE in MM and a gargoyle agro'd on to me. I didn't even see it till it started hitting me. Once it started attacking me I stopped and killed it and got petitioned by a dbag at pond (not a dbag for petitioning, but definitely a dbag for petitioning without even trying to find out what happened from me, I didn't even get a tell).

So with the PNP, there was no one there physically at the spawn point. Was I in the wrong for stopping to kill the mob that was attacking me? GM never gave a verdict because the other guy logged after petitioning me and then KSing me on a mob in the canyon.

Encounter on EQ were boss until they started catering to the lowest common denominator and tuned shit so any group of 54 face rollers could beat it.

When was that? Encounters seemed to get more difficult as time went on, but granted I stopped playing live in 2007.

GMs are only supposed to intervene if the players can't come to an agreement among themselves. The dude was absolutely in the wrong for not taking it up with you first, especially if it was just one mob. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

trioing the whole spiroc fort = plenty better exp than a full group chain pulling KC hands

thats why im asking. i dont blame anyone for hunting there because thats how the camp is accepted as a ffa. im just asking why you cant claim it

The reason for this is because Spirocs are for 45-53, Karnors has mobs that stay blue to much higher levels. So when you go to KC to group at sub-50 levels, chances are you're splitting exp with others who are a lot higher level (therefore have higher exp totals than you, and take more exp) so the exp seems slower. If you're 45-53, there are tons of better places to exp at (If you're not soloing) than KC/TD/LOIO bloodgills.

In fact I would suggest that by limiting yourself to KC/TD, you're slowing down your progress. Sure they're easy camps and not that risky, but they're nowhere near the best exp you can get. This is especially true once you go from soloing there to duo/trio, etc. It's not a group camp, its really that simple.

If you're getting better exp in TD than the places you normally exp, well then you're exping in the wrong spots.

Lguk Liveside is insane exp 40-50, probably some of the best. Same goes for solb, the hole, and City of Mist (Up to about 53-55, if you know the spots to hit) as well as some others I'm surely forgetting.


I have a buddy who leveled his mage from 29-53 in 2 days, pretty much without leaving guk/lguk aside from getting spells/supplies. 54-60 is where it kind of slows down, and soloing really becomes less viable.
