Having been on the recieving end of failing list camps twice at super long durations. Once solo, once sharing accounts. And having done many of them I'd say my only valuable contribution would be changing to a system that accrues hours total spend at a camp, where we use /list to use the Alternate Advancement mechanic and gain experience somehow. Maybe a bunch of level 50 mobs spawn with 1hp and you can only kill one an hour, use some sort of bane damage mechanic already in the coding and a debuff or something.

But your average joe who spends far too much time on EQ (but not anywhere near as much as the top 5%) can slowly accumulate his way to a manastone. The system of just being there clicking boxes was abjectly shit. My body was a fucking wreck for days after that 56hr fail, and in my fraps im awake, talking, chatting in group etc. My brain just did not see the bright red box in the middle of my screen after that long (/viewport my whole screen to a credit card size in corner, and made check boxes and drop confirm boxes giant red centre screen.) It was interesting as hell after the frustration wore off.

Fixes all problems. Fuck your eq 401k

Either not in at all or implemented permanently in a way that makes sense. It literally ruins the entire server progression and is 1000000% unclassic. There was never a time when there was a nerf schedule to live by it’s a dumb EMU contrivance
Remember new servers on live never had this stuff.

They were healthy.

Morell thule at kunark launch never had manastones.
Vazaelle at velious launch never had prenerf donals
Kane Bayle at Luclin launch never had beads.

They all flourished. Most of these early items are mistakes. I'd love a new server launch at current blue timeline for that reason. Less dumb shit to worry about camping. Less pissing and moaning from the have nots, who were always have nots, and will always be have nots, who perpetually blame everything/one else for their lack of dedication.

Why would you implement manastones at kunark launch when it was an original eq item

Sorry, pal you need to read the FAQ on list written by yours truly.

It's simple supply/demand. If people can just FD and AFK... you'll get a LOT more people.

Cost go down? Demand go up! Weird isn't it?

The average joe won't get a manastone. They will simply AFK their main toon and not play any EQ while they compete against a bunch of AFK guild mules.

THINK!

P.S. Don't trade your health for pixels. Foolishness.

/list promotes boxing.

how insanely easy is it to grind xp somewhere, whilst absent mindedly camping a /list item on your laptop via cell phone hotspot or VPN?

I guarantee you that alot of people did this.

I wish I had thought of it at the time, or I would have done this.

thread is done.
