Question about item camp handoffs

[Man0warr]

Depends how long you were LD and if the mob spawned in the time you were LD - I don't think there is a set time limit but you have to engage the mob your camping in reasonable time frame.

[Walth]

Think if the placeholder is down you have a legitimate claim to the camp still. Otherwise would prob require gm/guide involvement of new person didn't take your word for it.

[beev]

A wise man once said "Your shoes do not represent you! Neither here nor in a Court of Law!"

I'm not even high enough level to camp but honestly all this talk just makes me not look forward to continue on in Everquest. Giving preference to guildies that are on a completely different continent? What if someone enjoys roleplaying and not being part of a guild and they are willing to sit at the camp site waiting for their turn? Then the camp holder only has to say there are 10 people on the list and name of 10 guildies, and if when done there are only 4 out of the 10 guild members on, that makes the person willing to wait 5th in line instead of the 11th which is still crap.

Is anybody else completely boggled that Deru basically just wrote up a whole new set of rules?

Can we get an official ruling? Is Deru's forum post the law of the land now?

It is hard to believe that Deru has the authority to make such huge, sweeping changes to the rules of the server without checking with the big shots...

Because if Deru's ruling is the 'law of the land' then yeah, anybody can go and take the Tranix camp from Blitz right at this moment, or Blitz at the very least must hand the camp off to a friend. Right? reminder quote:

If you are solo camping, once you attain the item you were waiting for (an AC ring, for example) you are done camping that mob. The next person on the camp list had better be prepared at this point in order to come eliminate the very next placeholder spawn in order to "stake his claim" on the mob. You cannot work wacky corpse lines on lore items in order to grab multiple items in the same "camp session" if there are others waiting to take the camp.

Many others have pointed out the holes in Deru's post, so I won't spend any more time addressing that. I'm mainly just sitting here stunned that Deru either 1) thinks he has the authority to make these big sweeping changes or 2) thinks those have been the rules for a long time, when I can't seem to find a reference to a lot of the points in Deru's post anywhere.

Im sure your safe to just take over the camp at any time someone has a corpse in the zone. You can assume that he corpsed an item.

take that shiz, get dat crown!

that's not what its saying Cecily, its saying that when you leave, the rep you said needs to be there to take your spot.. if you don't have your rep in mind and some stranger walks up and says, is there a list? and you haven't got someone already spending their day away from their IRL family to play this glorious game together with us, they get to be next on the list.

Regardless, if the guy is sitting there waiting, you can at least tell him to shove off that they have a line already.

No you do not. But if someones comes up and asks to be listed, it is COMMON COURTESY to list them, and informing them when you break camp.

But seeing that you are ignoring strangers asking to be listed, my guess is that it is a wasted effort on you...

Okie. You guys really took my lack of respect for lines to heart and maybe I should clarify exactly what my problem with them is. There's a running theme in all of your posts that suggests a hypothetical guy walking up. Every single time I've camped the AC, I've gotten tells from people out of zone asking who was camping it and to be put in line. I ignore those line requests, simply because I have ALOT more sympathy for the random guy who did literally walk up, SPEAK with me, and wait with me until my spawn drops what I'm camping. That's who I will generally pass my camp off to, even if I would prefer to keep it with guildies. The guy exping in a different zone waiting for his camp to be served, sorry. It's not my responsibility to track you down.

I doubt anyone with that many colored rainbow gifs in their name in their sig is gona be a jerk at all.

If im talking with someone and they dont seem to be getting along with the idea of sending me a tell if they are done with somehting, then ill eaither wait, or just go do something else.

unless its blitzkragg, then ill try to petition GMs to change the rules so you cant exploit the game as easily.

but on that note, sounds like that camp is FFA now and as long as there is a corpse in the zone, anyone can take it so.. party at tranix tonight!
