Unless the other servers were different, camps are pure classic. Think about it: some classes need a spot to be able to med, which used to mean, opening yer spellbook. Constantly moving around as a group was never all that feasible, and certainly not the norm. The group runs out of mana.

This was one of the good design elements of eq, I thought. You have to find those locations in a dungeon where you can take a "med break" but also where you of course have mobs to pull once everyone is gtg. Shit's pure classic.

What else was classic was some other group trying to inch up on your "camp" or try to leapfrog you to get closer to where you were pulling from. This is where the PNP always came in: that is just, not nice to do that.

We all know these things. And I agree with tecmos, this is not about camps per se, but about powerlevling toons.

Since during live I was "leveling with the server" I never really experienced this problem; who could have powerleveled? There were no high level characters at that time: we at the top of the lvl heap *were* the high level characters.

The only time this became an issue is when ae groups became popular. I used to dominate fungus grove shrooms with an ae grp, for example.

On hindsight, I think we were flirting with violating the PNP. Because really, once an ae grp would get set up, forget about being a normal group killing in that entire area.

Powerleveling and ae grps need to be, as a rule, second in importance to "normal" grps. That would be my take. I am not planning on doing ae grps on p99 for this reason, except during off hours.

cuz I'm awesomely cool.

tl;dr version: don't be a dick to people playing the normal game of grps trying to find a good camp for their appropriate level. Powerlevelers and ae'ers need to step down. PNP

One of your better posts. Yeah I gave up Pling people once the server hit say 500 people nearly a year ago. Just not fair to others taking half a zone of the good mobs for one person to twink themselves. But I can sort of see why people want to get higher fast on a alt. No real good answer I guess other than getting Velious out. Would help a lot. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
