I think perhaps you suffer a little from Rosy-Tinted-Glasses Syndrome when you reflect on the past and Everquest as many of us do. I am pretty sure even back then when Velious was fresh, there were nerds capable of camping items for extreme periods of time and passing camps only to their friends. The only way you avoid this is... Instances. And, THAT'S NOT CLASSIC either. | |||

You can make mechanics and content classic, you can't make the player population classic, it's as simple as that.
It's also obvious, at least to me, that the staff are in the corner that wants to work for a server that replicates classic mechanics and content, not to right the wrongs of classic EQ or to make the population act as the population on live classic servers did (I don't regard pbaoe target cap nerf to have been implemented for this reason), and those who want/expect that are going to be sorely disappointed. I haven't spent a minute on any of p99 blues major pre nerf item camps: Manastone, Guise, Locket of Escape, Necklace of Superiority, Holgresh Elder Beads, Fungi Staff) but what I've heard is that they all were all messy clusterfucks on permanent lock down and I expect it to be even worse on green but I would be glad to be proven wrong.

The only camp I have ever sat at for hours was Jboots, and that almost always had a "list" in OOT or Sro when it had a set spawn there. I did that when I first started my druid ages ago, which was before velious but after manastones etc. I also happened to take a break from p99 before Velious was released, so I missed out on holgresh beads too. I missed all the good rare item camps! Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing now. | |||

But at the same time, EQ live was a paid product, and the last thing Verant wanted was isolated bad players ruining the fun for other (paying) customers. If you read the guidelines I linked that much is pretty clear. Classic staff absolutely interceded in player issues, so it's not unreasonable to think that the staff here (especially when the whole server supports it) might do the same ... if there's a viable way for them to do so. That viable part is tricky though, because P99's all-volunteer team obviously has far less resources/staff than the live team did.

If green ever happens, there should be lines for certain camps. Youre next in line when the person(s) leave, you get the camp. Not their friends. This should be the same with everything. If you're physically at Ancient Cyclops camp waiting in line and nobody else is... you're next in line period. Not some arbitrary list. Nobody in a sane mind would argue with this logic. People are putting in time to WAIT for something they should have the next go at it. When the GM's go to look at who was there longer in zone, that's all that should matter during camp disputes. You don't get to pass off camps to people you want if there's people actively waiting right there. That's how it was on live, hell we had a line for scout back in the day too. There was a literal calendar full of player names on our servers forums for scout. Yes that isn't sitting there physically but we all agreed that waiting 10 hours per spawn physically was a bit much.
It's simple, nobody waiting in line for your camp? You give it to whomever the fuck you want. | ||

Start a publicly visible list:
1) Create a Discord server. 2) Name it p99 poopsocking. 3) List all the poopsocking camps as channels. (These are easily searchable with ctrl + k.) 4) Make it publicly accessible to anyone who joins. 5) Create a few rules for etiquette, but keep it simple 6) Pray for cooperation 7) Pixelquest I don't see it really working any other way.

Unfortunately, obtaining things like manastone, guise, and fungi staff has rarely been attainable for the casual player. That's part of what makes this game the way it is. Be prepared for that to not change.
