Binding in "Raid Zones"

[whitebandit]

I know im probably shooting myself in the foot for even bringing it up...

With the new updates to the raid rules.. is there any possibility that the GMs might lift the restriction on binding in what people consider to be raid zones? Its probably not a HUGE deal for 99% of people, as a druid however, i always liked my ability to bind wherever i pleased to gate back when/if needed.

being that im a druid at level 55.. im sure this is an obvious sign as to where i want to bind :)

I am well aware the reasons behind the restriction and for the most part i will agree with them but binding in these zones was classic, and if the Guilds agree to less poopsocking i would assume this is a rule that could potentially be.. reviewed further?

Firepots and DL/KC both have Kunark dragons in them, but are the two most prominent bind locations. I could be wrong, but I do not think people will be required to rebind for those two zones. For a L55 druid, I think you can safely remain bound in Perma pits.

The rule prevents guilds from camping their raid force near a raid spawn. It doesn't apply to a 55 Druid that wants to bind in the bear pits to exp.

Ah i might not have been clear in my post. If my memory serves, at this time you CAN NOT bind in KC or in Perma.. (havent tried DL recently)

My question was mostly if now that there is a more strict "play nice raid policy" i would assume that some of the non-classic additions (bind restrictions) can be removed or.. mitigated to an extent.

(unfortunately im not currently bound in perma, i had unknowingly changed my bind point when it was a non-issue)

I do appreciate your response, Last time i tried, i got a message stating " Cant bind here, Try a city", a message that a druid is not used to seeing :-p Maybe i will have to check again.

I'm pretty sure the bind restrictions are a classic mechanic as binding in place like pofear/pohate/TD firepots were allowed to be bind in for a set amount of time and then the restriction was placed due to classic timeline.

when kunark launched a ton of people went and bound at FP because they knew that after something like 2 weeks it was going to be removed.

[whitebandit]

I do understand that pofear/pohate/TD are unbindable.. And understand why.. My question is mostly related to perma and SolB for instance. (maybe even KC/DL)

I had no trouble binding at Naggy's spawn in Sol B last time I tried(about 3 weeks ago). I haven't tried binding in Permafrost, but from what I recall there shouldn't be any restrictions there either. Maybe try a different spot?

Maybe this is the issue. Much appreciated!

I should have prefaced this with the fact that I am returning to my druid after break since about the kunark launch (playing my monk, no binding!) I will have to give it a more thorough attempt.

I've been binding toons in solb for months to farm zordaks, didn't know this wasn't legal bc I'm not a raider, is this illegal? Also you can definitely bind in Perma pits, my cleric was bound there for a week or two while a druid friend was finishing off his grind to 60, is this illegal as well?

I did notice that they extended the first fire giant pathers aggro radius to include the prep area shortly after getsome crew returned and started owning solb routinely.

All I could find is that binding in raid zones is prohibited (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113050) on PvP. I know of nothing preventing you from binding there on Blue P99. Maybe make a bug report if you still can't do it?

Ok just to clarify, I was actually asking about a Physical restriction being placed on the "Raid zones" My memory is foggy, i seem to recall the last time i was in perma on my druid trying to bind myself and getting a Message "Try a city" -- I might be mistaken. I highly doubt the GMs are gonna do anything to the people that are already bound there (if the restriction even exists)

It turns out I might be COMPLETELY mistaken in this matter.. Its time to Run to Perma :o

[Jaxon]

I actually completely forgot that I bound myself at jailmaster last week when I was farming nets. So yeah, you should be able to bind in Perma.

It was explained on Red that you were not allowed to bind in any FFA zones, meaning zones where you can attack players no matter what their level is. This included Permafrost, solb and I guess planes zones.

AFAIK there are no technical restrictions on binding due to new raid rules. When Kunark was released you could bind just about anywhere, including Sebilis and TD. TD and all kunark dungeons were made unbindable quite some time ago, independent of recent changes to the raid scene.
