Corpse Thief

[picklefixer]

Beware fellow adventures, for there is a Corpse Thief amongst us. About 3 weeks ago I had 5 neatly placed corpse's in EC tunnel, each containing 1 very precious shiny each (Ring of the Ancients). For at the time, I was trying to provide a public service.

I logged in the next morning and /poof. Timers did not expire.

Nosir, I've never shared my account....who the hell would want it?

/petition'd and was told tuff shit.

Please keep an eye out for any shady looking characters lurking about the tunnel...you've been warned !

AFAIK it is impossible for another player to loot your corpse (on Blue at least). I think in the beginning of live EQ if you /consent-ed someone they could loot your corpse, but that went away pretty quickly (and I'm not sure it was even implemented here).

What level was the character that made the corpses, and how did they die (ie. mob, environment, or duel)? I think under the wrong conditions corpses can decay faster than the standard 7 days, and that might have been what happened to you.

Glad to see they trying to discourage no-life losers who camp AC 24/7 and then corpse themselves 10-20 times with rings lined up to sell.

Kudos to the staff, TY!

Your story is confusing. You corpsed 5 rings 3 weeks ago?

Then you logged in a day later and the corpses were gone?

Please clarify because it sounds like ur shit just rotted

lmao if this is true. idk what else it wouldve been

yay death to scum mass MQers

[aaezil]

Can we get rid of the rest of them now please

[Cecily]

The staff poofed your corpses if the timers didn't expire, i.e. the corpses weren't older than one week. If you just corpsed them 3 weeks ago without refreshing the corpse then they rotted. Have fun with this information if it turns out the staff poofed them. If you let them rot, tough shit.

[Pokesan]

my sac corpses poofed before the timer.

[Canelek]

Sounds like trolling.

If not, well, I think about the best you could do here sympathy-wise would be along the lines of, "OH YOU POOR PERSON THAT IS TERRIBLE OHMAHGOURD."

[Lhancelot]

This is confusing seeing as you're an EC fat cat...

I aint surprised you confused.

[alsa]

There are however cases of corpse disappearing before the rot time, when server is up for too long. They usually do a hard reset and GMs will recover corpse rotted before timer expired.

^^^^^^^ couldn't agree more

[Baler]

Staff won't restore corpses that are clearly for storing things you're going to sell.
just adding..

Why would that be the case? Either he acquired the rings the right way or he didn't...it is perfectly okay to corpse the rings as long as you aren't doing it to keep a monopoly on the camp.

Maybe they won't restore the corpses, but I'd hope it is not merely because he was planning to sell the items on the corpse.

They haven't for a few years, I was our guild banker for epics and got two shaman tears after a fear clear so I had to corps one of the tears cause we didn't have anyone online that needed them at that time, was told they don't restore corpses with lore items on them if it's only that item on the corps. So unless they changed that policy he's SoL.

[Rivera]

please move thread to rnf so I can properly convey my thoughts regarding this topic.

[Llandris]

The staff does not #bury corpses just because there are "corpsed" items on them. We will not, however, summon any corpses that have rotted with said item(s). What I'm guessing happened is you were off on your timing and they rotted naturally.

[fadetree]

?
I missed the part about the staff summoning them. Where did it say that?

Now, how can we get the same thing done to the rest of the druids that pile up corpses at the OT hill and WC ring... You know who you are.

[HippoNipple]

I would imagine he had them summoned from OOT because EC is the zone that GMs summon corpses to. It seems like common practice for farmers to let their corpses decay and then they get them summoned to EC for easy access to buyers. If the staff will not resummons it's probably because they already summoned once. Just my 2cc

Whole situation seems a bit off

There is no way this guy did this instead of just getting the AC ring and leaving a corpse himself in EC.

Is now a good time to advertise for red server?

Blue is busier than ever, Red is deader than ever. Afraid the ship sailed a long time ago for Red, kiddo. :(

[NegaStoat]

I'm still not convinced Green P1999 will be a thing, but if it ever is, there is one thing I AM sure of. Blue 1999 was to be set to the side, active, as a living museum piece. I understand the reasoning behind this. The new server will have custom changes to avoid a lot of the looting / camping / raiding strangeness (put politely) that players take as commonplace and staff members grow ulcers over in having to deal with. Bank on it.

One of the staff already said that from the start Green would not include items which got nerfed on live (eg. mana orbs, holgresh elder beads, etc.). I think they may have been joking, but it does make you think: that one simple change would certainly eliminate a lot of GM headaches.

[kotton05]

This is too good to be a troll. I suggest we get out our pitchforks and start shaking down the dark elf’s till we find the ancient ring bandit.

[loramin]

If your entire purpose in playing on Green is to acquire the pixels that were so broken the live developers took them out of the game, then yes. If you want to play on it for any other reason (like, say, you want to play classic Everquest with a fresh/almost classic economy and a classic timeline) then no.

... but again, I'm not at all sure the staff member (I forget who it was) was being serious. I'm pretty sure it was a joke.

EDIT: It was Guide Menden, here (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2585715&postcount=37), and his exact quote was:
Haha, if a new server ever happens we'll just have nerfed items drop at launch and give out the cool stuff during GM events only. /s

I crack myself up each time i read the title of this thread...

I spent many many weeks gathering the rings and rapiers that i had corpsed in EC tunnel. The exact day they /poofed i cannot remember...it was about 3 weeks ago. I /petitione'd in game and left Mrtwig /afk in the tunnel on and off for about 3 weeks waiting on a GM to restore the corpses. I did not know at the time they were not going to help a law abiding citizen such as myself...maybe I'm not as good a person as i thought i was =/

Nosir, I had 3 corpse's on 1 timer and the other 2 corpse's on another timer...I always hedged my bets against a catastrophic comp failure that might keep me from logging in for an extended period of time and losing them all at once.

And i had just re-corpsed a set of them the night before. =(

Someone /poof'd them.

Sounds like you got poofed to clean up the litter in El Mercado. That would be annoying! But I can see a staff doing that to a corpse that's been there for almost a month. Sry u lost your pixels, if you want to melt down please Fraps it and post to rnf before the BAN. Thanks!

[Lulz~Sect]

Sorry you won’t make rent this month OP 😬

You still haven't said what level the toon was or how it died. If you used a low-level toon or killed yourself with a /duel your corpse time will be shorter.

Wouldn't you sell your death as a sacrifice so you can get double paid?

[loramin]

Wouldn't you sell your death as a sacrifice so you can get double paid?

Depends. If I was dying from a duel I wouldn't lose experience, so I wouldn't want to sacrifice. Also if I was under level 45, or whatever the minimum sacrifice level is (say because I transferred my ring from my main to my level 6 bard tunnel mule) I wouldn't even have the option.

Both of those things would make my corpse expire faster than the normal week, which is why I keep asking about them.

Also sacrificing pays what, 100? 200? plat per death? Unless there was a necro offering to do it right that moment I probably still wouldn't bother wasting my time to try and find one.

[picklefixer]

I'm still looking for these corpse's...and searching for the person or person's responsible for this injustice.
