Chardok

[Cropec]

When will the endless AoEing stop? It was my favorite Kunark zone on live. Here on p1999 I have never seen a chance to group there even once. Its perma dominated content. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Make a group and go.

This.

Show up there with a full group and setup camp.

Also there is a decent bit of the zone that AOErs don't pull, go to those camps.

AE groups don't even pull half the zone really, do they?

Basement area is unpulled, so is the area near royals. So is the Korocust room.

Think there are some more. But Chardok AE never will or should stop. It's legit, it's classic and it's the fastest way to level at high 50s. Once Velious drops it will open up for a bit I'm sure. Then once it's revamped it'll be AEd hard for awhile.

I would hardly call it legit, considering how chardok is a massive plat faucet.. Plus paying for levels there is more or less on par with cheating or copping out and letting somebody else level up for you. No respect for these individuals that can't level on their own in my book.

GL on stopping the RMT'ers or looting a monk pipe for that matter

99.999% of the players paying for proxy spots, already have leveled up a character to 60. Likely more than one.

Leveling 1-60 is fun. Doing it 5 more times is less fun (IMO). However having 6 level 60's which you can swap between depending on high end dungeon / raid needs, is awesome (IMO). But that's me and to each their own.

The exception being RMT plat buyers and Casino dudes in EC. Both of which don't count cause they lack a soul.

Before Chardok AoE, almost no one ever went there, if Chardok AoE stopped, groups wouldn't magically start going there. Additionally, groups already occasionally show up there to camp the betrayer, and while there are difficulties, it is entirely possible for a group to do that while AoE is going on without either group causing problems for the other. Furthermore, everything that drops in there is so incredibly devalued now that no one is going to want to do it.
In short, getting rid of AoE would not accomplish what you are hoping for. It would just turn the place into a complete dead zone other than Royals and occasional pipe camps.

Might be nice if we could pick a couple random nights each week to shut it down (a rotation? perish the thought!). AoE groups were a bit more difficult to execute consistently in 1999-2001, so it does kinda kill a piece of the classic experience.

That said, it's a beautiful thing to behold when it works - and pretty hilarious when it doesn't. And my wife said my rogue could have her proxy spot when she hits 60... so I'm a fan.
