Imagine someone camping Hadden for 24+ hours, and someone comes up and says "heya this thing pops in 5 minutes, I'll stick around for the /random..."

A bunch of druids/wizard alts gate there where they are bound and do the same... lol... never happened in classic.

List ain't classic, but it's the most fair and closest to classic solution we have.

Except if you’re allowed to do that and just show up for the /random why would you sit there camping Haden for 24 hours? Problem solved

You either don't count time at the camp or you do.

If you don't, you get a bunch of people logging onto alts every 30minute, 8 hours or whatever the pop time is to get a /random shot.

If you do count time, you have.... The /List

Wow, all those posts ... as a "list lifer", you were clearly triggered by my idea [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Look, I'll grant that for you, Castle 2.0, who clearly liked sitting for 48+ hours at the same camp, /list was great.

But for the vast majority of the server ... and for best emulating the game from '99 (where, again, no one waited even 24 hours for a camp) ... a random list still seems best to me.

What I wanna know is if Mage is going to be "fixed" on launch, or if we are going to allow a class to be functionally unplayable for months again.

Sorry that was unfair of me to just make a strawman jab at you without even putting any content in my post.

I did like list, made pained soul way better imo.

On classic each server had different GMs running things their own way.

I kinda like the idea that each p99 server can have a slightly different gm enforcement slant to shake up the meta. For that reason I think a new system would make the new server more interesting, different to the others and therefore classic.

If something better comes along, let's do it. List is like democracy or USD. It's the cleanest shirt in the dirty clothes hamper.

The fundamental equation of EQ is: time in = pixels out. Levels, tradeskills, raid progression, it's one big timesink. That's just the nature of EQ. Sad, but true.

Nothing true to the original will do anything else.

If we want a pure skill fantasy game we had Spellbinder: The Nexus (amazing for its time) and recently Spellbreak (myeh.)

[Jimjam]

Doesn’t have to be strictly better, imo … as long as it is much of a muchness. Certainly wouldn’t want a substantial downgrade or anything that increases load on the staff though. Them volunteers are some good elves.

I just like a game where we run around and kill bears and wolves and occasionally you see somebody dressed in like beaming orange armor that is a dragon slayer and you’re like what the f I don’t even understand how to play this game!
