Master Tranix Camper

[Qcmagican]

Hello guys, I've been looking to get a tranix crown with some friends but this person has been on it for the past 4 months every 8 hours including quakes. Was just wondering if there's a rule somewhere or hope that person gets burnt out eventually ? Thank you!

King tranix is a camp. Just hang out there and clear giants before anyone else does and it's yours

[cd288]

Guessing they’re account sharing with one or more people so I wouldn’t expect them to get burnt out unfortunately

Camp monopolies: unclassic EQ that R&N have kept here longer than classic EQ ever existed.

[starkind]

Op is overreacting the person doing that camp a lot is rly only there once a month.

Try playing at different times OP.

[Jibartik]

Haha someone always sits at the throne and makse themself king of the mountain.

It's part of what makes this game painful. Which is ironically part of what makes it great.

If you want a crown, show fealty to the king. He will grant you one if you perform for his will.

[starkind]

Aren't crown prices at an alll time low?

[Reiwa]

I remember on Blue there was a guy who had Tranix locked down with his shaman afk feigned there to kill it every 8 hours.

Clarke I think?

[starkind]

Pvp makes this more interesting!

[Robot]

linnae is there alot yes but i have definitely killed tranix 4 times in the last 3 days so

tell em to fuck off

people that monopolize a camp for literally months of end need to, and i say this from the bottom of my heart, get a life.

that jerkoff in FoW also been doing the same shit with Royal Scribe in icewell for literally months.

its always these lvl 60 shamans.. already got torpor. already got epic. still fuckin farming plat 24/7 lmao dont even know what to do with themselves

[Jibartik]

god damn it took this guy since 2011 to camp tranix and he finds out its taken.

[starkind]

Better a dark elf shaman then anyone else lol.

[Ravager]

Never had one myself. Not worth the time and fight to camp and there's better things to spend the plat on. It's not even that cool as a vanity item.

Do they stay in the room from the time of the kill to the time of the next spawn? Because if they don't, you can just stand in the room and call it camped, as long as you kill it upon spawn. I'd suggest noting time of death of Tranix and all 3 giants and schedule a time with your crew.

[Videri]

Like so:
Tranix 10:30 am
Giant 1 10:34 am
Giant 2 10:37 am
Giant 3 10:40 am

And as soon as they leave, you go stand in there and AFK, and you Discord the crew and be like "Be in Tranix room by 6:15 pm! I have the camp!

[Cecily]

Tranix is camped, sorry.

[loramin]

Do they stay in the room from the time of the kill to the time of the next spawn? Because if they don't, you can just stand in the room and call it camped, as long as you kill it upon spawn.

This is not quite true.

You may absolutely hunt multiple camps if no one else is contesting them. Once another party shows up asking for one of your camps it is your decision which camp you wish to claim, then they can then have their choice.

So them simply leaving the room does not make them lose the camp ... as long as they make it back to the camp in time.

[OuterChimp]

Tranix camp is open on Teal.

If someone sent Smaug a tell, maybe the citizens of lake town could have been draped in gold.

Actually no. A single spawn camp could be monopolized in classic if someone was online and camping it the whole time and was not considered disruption. Trying to claim a multi spawn camp was where staff might step in if someone petitioned.

get good i guess or play somewhere else

I wonder who I'm gonna side with.

heh... ok?

didn't even make this thread I got all the crown I need..

I can still think its lame when someone farms the same mob every 8 hours for literally months. Go try something new or more challenging and more rewarding.

[Jibartik]

the left of norrath is like, "we dont need a king to sit upon the throne of the mountain!"

The right of norrath is like, "LONG LIVE THE KING O THE MOUNTAIN HE WHO STAYS RULES"

Its my favorite arch for a shaman.

You start there around 36 killing gnolls, then you go deeper in killing bats and bugs and spiders. Then further in to fight imps and lava guardians and finally you defeat the crazy miniboss of classic everuqest.. you raid and kill the dragon then you face the giants on your own and breech their castle with your bare hands. You kill their king face to face! YOU SIT AT HIS THRONE!

Tranix = Crossdressing Fire Giant? Asking for a friend.

[starkind]

Easy to fix this.

Just make ppl apply for a permit through some letters of recommendation in the community to camp tranix.

Tranix is cramped. Sorry!

I mean somewhat fair but I think the overall point is that your original post is written as though you’re just some guy trying to get a drop for your character and you’re being oppressed by this person monopolizing the camp to farm it for plat. When really you’re just annoyed that you can’t monopolize the camp and farm it for plat lol

The crown isn't for me but for a friend of mine. I was just hoping people would understand my point of view but I feel like most of the people in this thread are saying this person that is being all over tranix for the past months is totally fine. I guess I will just send my friend over to that person. I'm sure he would get it for pretty cheap with all the crowns that person has. I appreciate people's responses though! :)

Well, I appreciate that you're trying to find the truth here, but standing in the room is the exact way we held or handed off that camp on Green pre-Kunark. Surely one can't claim the Tranix camp while they're elsewhere in the zone. Imagine you show up at an empty Tranix room and plop down, and then hours later someone shows up and says "actually I was camping it," and you're supposed to believe them and leave? How do you know they actually killed the last spawn?

No, standard camp rules are not to be applied to an 8-hour spawn such as Tranix. You have to flop a character in there.

[Old_PVP]

Wouldn't happen on Red.

[btravis1990]

No one gonna mention Pogohopper and his 3-box band of misfits on green?

There's logic, and then there are P99 rules, which are sometimes kept simple even if that seems a bit illogical.

Also, it could be argued that one shouldn't have to do nothing for 8 hours when no one else is in the zone competing for the mob.

no one cares or plays on red

U sound like someone who lost a good pal 2 red99

Y don't u consider joining them there?

[trinkets]

Leaving a level 17 monk flopped to claim tranix was one of the dumbest moves I'd seen at this camp. I much prefer to see a level 60 shaman monopolize it.

[Old_PVP]

no one cares about greenblue problems when the easiest and most logical solution to this pickle is PVP.

https://i.imgur.com/BiIQzlK.png

"If you're there and keeping the mobs down it's yours" (GM Blistig points to this)

There is no way you can claim the Tranix camp while not there. Please, man, don't make people think they can legally hold Tranix while elsewhere in the zone - or not in the zone at all.

[Videri]

Or, to clarify, sure, you can say you're camping it - until someone else arrives and stands in the room, and then it becomes their camp.

[mycoolrausch]

you dont have to fight sweatlords for a bad KT crown.

you can join them on raids for a good KT crown.

'Tani is a great guild leader, but he is not a GM. As far as all published GM statements go ... ie. as per the https://wiki.project1999.com/Camp_Rules ... a camp is your's, regardless of where you go in the zone (as long as you don't evac, die, leave the zone, etc.) up until the point that someone contests you.

And you don't even need that page; this is very explicit in the rules themselves (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325349):

You may absolutely hunt multiple camps if no one else is contesting them. Once another party shows up asking for one of your camps it is your decision which camp you wish to claim, then they can then have their choice.

Again, imagine an empty zone. You just killed Tranix, and now have a long time to kill ... why shouldn't you be able to go do some other camps in the meantime?

Now of course, the staff could make an exception to the camp rules for Tranix ... but to my knowledge they have not.

it should be noted camping out to play another char for 7 hours counts as "leaving the zone" you dont get to come back and claim it. as per the incident in question

Did you actually read the screenshot; Blistig says nothing of the sort.

Show me the Blistig quote where he says "Tranix is different from every other non-raid mob on the server: you can't kill him and then go kill other stuff if no one is contesting you" and I'll be convinced.

I understand what the arrow means. I also understand that Blistig agreed with "If you're there and keeping the mobs down it's yours" ... which does not in any way contradict the Play Nice Policies.

Until someone A) kills Tranix, B) goes elsewhere in the zone to kill something else, C) continues to communicate that the camp is their's, and they return to it as soon as anyone tries to contest, but then D) the GMs give the camp to someone else ... I see no reason to doubt the default server rules, ie.

You may absolutely hunt multiple camps if no one else is contesting them. Once another party shows up asking for one of your camps it is your decision which camp you wish to claim, then they can then have their choice.


And for the record, I'm not even in favor of this rule: I think if you want to camp mob A, and you also want to camp mob B, you should risk losing your camp A the moment you take off for B. But those aren't P99 rules, as far as I can see.

Should follow the same rules as Haden, I am not sure what those rules are but they are both the same type of situation and i cant see why they would be differnt.

[Bardp1999]

And here you have it...

to get camp you must either A) have previously killed Hadden or B) be the first person waiting at his spawn point

Just because you have the last time of death and login does not mean that you automatically get the camp. If someone is there you should use common sense and see if they are camping Hadden. If they are, then move along and find something else to do.

If you log in and someone is in the throne room waiting on Tranix, then fuck off. If the room is empty, its yours

Camp monopolies: unclassic EQ that R&N have kept here longer than classic EQ ever existed.

Fucking this. You could never do months on end lockdowns because of server resets. I don’t honestly understand why the staff tolerates it. You could easily ask the server farm to reset it periodically.

It’s why I’m trying Red. Coming back to everything 24/7 perma camped on shared accounts why everyone acts like the rules are enforced on Blue/Green kills the fun for me

[Midfrost]

Pvp makes this more interesting!

qft

[Rager and Quitter]

I love how every thread devolves into lawyerquest bullshit because the server is actually packed full of lifeless losers that can camp stuff for month on end without disruption. EQ truly is the perfect game for society's hopeless rejects. And PvP isn't the answer because Red server has the worst, most toxic people on it. The only fun they have is ruining other people's gaming experience which is fucking pathetic, but easy to avoid if you just consider it dead, which it is, and always will be.

[starkind]

You define toxic. I define interesting.

[Ravager]

Interesting! No, wait. The other thing... Tedious!
