Classic was apparently more common, since Verant didn't know how somewhat OP the item would be

I got mine right about the 12 hour total mark (10 hours as #1). The duo behind me (who sat with me for about 8 of my 10) had not seen another for 24 hours after mine dropped. Not sure on total time because it had still not dropped as of very early this morning.

If you want a stone you should have a plan within the current given rules, be that handing off the account, having a RL friend over for the weekend to shift swap or whatever. Now when I say handing off the account I want to clarify, that as P99 currently has no rules against it, I have no issue with handing off the SINGLE char to a friend who is not playing their char at the time so you can get a nap. A group of 6 people taking shifts managing the list for their group however, is called boxing, which is against the rules and should be reported if this behavior is seen.

The current system is rugged and in need of refinement imo. Its also a big commitment and you have to consider your health. I know many joke about unhealthy play time and we all have our own personal abilities and desires... just be careful guys as I said have a plan, be prepared, know your limits.

To be honest my anxiety is still through the roof from that AFK button and worrying about missing it while I ran upstairs to refill my cup of water.

Lastly... change your afk alert box from transparent to bright red... helped me at least.

the only solution would be enable pvp in the vicinity of the camp, other than that prepare for a 50+ hour camp or dont do it.

My solution to this would have been: make the stone no drop. Must be level 35 to loot. Keep the original drop rates. I don't know exactly what they were, but they were close to the mith 2 hander drop rates. Well over 30% of the time. A month or so before they were removed the drop rate was significantly reduced.

Your solution is terrible because it goes against everything this server stands for, which is a classic remake. my pvp idea is also a terrible idea because the same issue its not classic. would you rather have 1 guild farming it 24/7 and you have no chance? stop crying its so pathetic.

I thought you had to be pretty close to the level of the mob to get on the list and loot the item. Or did that pre-launch proposal not end up getting implemented?

A true classic remake would not allow people the foresight to know what items were going to be removed and when.

Dude I literally got to 42? hours and shut down. I couldnt even type the codes in properly and the adds for youtube videos woke me up twice. Sat on a wooden box instead of a chair so my body was forced to stay upright and not 'rest'. Someone took over for me while i slept 5 hours.

Guy ahead of me passed out for 30mins at #1 and lost his spot before he got a stone. He had been there 45 hours straight.

Guy behind me has been on for 50hours now, is still #3. Hasn't logged off once.

Guy currently ahead of me at #1 currently goes LD occasionally and i suspect has changed humans once or twice.

Guy 2 slots behind me in 4th is at 35hrs or so i think now. 5th is in the 30's too. And a bunch are 20+ through to 8 or 9.

Reminder that you went through physical torture to get a mystical wizard pod in disposable elf world #26782. EVerything ok in real life?
