List

What the server rules for being on a list? Can I log out and come back? Can I afk? Can I leave zone? Can I log in an alt and play until it's my turn?

The server rules for lists are the same as the server rules for anything: you can find any and all official server rues in exactly one place: the Play Nice Policies (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325349)

But, as you'll see if you go there, the staff does their best to not explain the details of the rules, which means that the link doesn't really answer your questions. Players frustrated by that often turn to the wiki's Camp Rules (http://wiki.project1999.com/Camp%20Rules) page, which is NOT an official rules resource ... but it IS a compilation of past GM statements on rules, so it's the next best thing.

Beyond that, everything else is player convention, and that brings us to the real answers to your questions:

What the server rules for being on a list?

The current "top of the list" person can't lie about who is next on the list. Also, once you get your item, you must go to the back of the line (no "corpsing the item" and keeping your place). Those two things, and the global "don't be a dick" rule, are the only official rules I know of. Everything else depends entirely on the players maintaining the list.

Can I log out and come back?
Depends on if anyone notices or cares. But even if you can ... if you're not sitting there watching what's going on, practically speaking it's very easy for people to cut you out when you do that.

Can I afk?
Again, there's no official rules, but player convention pretty strongly says "yes you can ... but it's nice if you help others clear PHs while you're waiting." Regardless, you should certainly make sure you're back from AFK at least by the time the person ahead of you becomes the top of the list (so that you're ready and waiting for your turn, the moment they get their ring).

Can I leave zone? Can I log in an alt and play until it's my turn?

Again, no official rules. Lots of people allow leaving the zone, but personally I hate it (...because there is nothing else in all of classic EQ that you can benefit from while playing in another zone! /rant off). As such I have "forgotten" about someone on the list who did that. Again, it ultimately just comes down to what the people maintaining the list feel like doing.

Same thing applies to playing an alt, but I think you'll really be stretching people's patience if you try to do that (and again, more importantly, if you're not there to watch list hand-offs you have no way of knowing if someone skips you).

Where did the sticky by Rogean go about the List System?

I posted in it a lot about when I got my manastone, now I can't find it at all.

Well I don't play on Green anymore, but wasn't /list removed (along with the legacy items)? They may have figured it's not relevant.

One of the unintended problems of the /list system used for the legacy items is that now folks genuinely new to p99 don't know how it works at camps without it...

if you are one of these people, and you're wondering how the rules that exist actually keep camps fair and orderly you're thinking the right way...plot twist non /list camps aren't fair or orderly on p99.

/list was only for the legacy items...asfaik there aren't /list camps on green anymore (until Kunark ofc).
