On Tallon Zek (didn't read any other replies here so don't if this is covered), the LnS "rule" was in no way "enforced" by anyone but by players/guilds - at least for Naggy and under mobs even if there was some funny drama with the Naggy/Vox events.

On TZ through Kunark, my experience remembers that you could do whatever you and your guild wanted to do. Corpse Camping, train, whatever. I'm sure there was SOME intervention maybe here and there but it wasn't until Frogs were in the game when we had some eyes on the server. I was caught in GF as my Frog wiz standing in a puddle of a certain player's corpses before I had my first, "You can't do that. We'll see you in 3 days!" and boom I was gone.

The player enforced "rule of law" worked well, IMHO, at least at the lower levels. I spent only a little time in the Planes during EQ/Kunark days and it was pretty much the same there, too. In fact, I think it added to the fun as I remember at least 1 guild was created to chase assholes, CCers, BCer's, etc. The Knights of the White Rose one time zoned into a Hate (or Fear) guild raid I was in one time and ooc'ed something to the effect of, "WE FOUND YOU.... TONIGHT you die and we avenge those who you BR'd, CCed blah blah blah"... well, they failed that night but it was certainly an "oh SHIT" moment when they zoned in after us.

My opinion: we don't need babysitting, the rule of law will find its own culture by the players. Adds drama to the game and we all love game drama I think.
