Over a year would mean you could still do that in kunark which you absolutely could not. I distinctly remember people being mad when they removed it because people I came to EQ with from UO couldn't scam people out of all their loot anymore.

You might be thinking of one of the pvp servers where item loot and the degree to which it was allowed was constantly changing.

Patch history:

JULY 20, 2000

/Consent no longer gives other players permission to loot your corpse. Instead, it only gives them the ability to drag your corpse using the /corpse command. This change is due to player request stemming from number of customer service issues raised by some players who were using /consent as a way to steal the belongings of other players. The change will eliminate those concerns and make the game more enjoyable for all of those involved.

I remember during Kunark/early Velious when outside of KC was camped to the point that my group was set up in one of the ruins off of the pad that KC sits on, out in the field a bit. That was an exciting group with the roamers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The funny thing is a guildwar allowed you to loot an enemy guild's corpse if you killed them. At that point was probably limited to zek rules (1 item not bagged, all plat. Couldn't loot primary/secondary slot)

I remember in mistmoore that the pond hill was camped, the nook over on the other side of the tower had a camp, and the canyon had a camp.

Like, every day and night those 3 spots had a group at them... but I can't imagine that we just that bad and slow back then? That those camps of like 5 or 6 mobs was enough for each group?

It wasn't "enough" for most groups, but these areas were simply overcrowded because of server populations and people not knowing enough about the game. Players were also more interested in chatting and roleplaying during the downtime, so some didn't mind.

I usually always tried to find something more to pull or outright move the group though. Like when a group would ask me to come join the 2-treant camp in South Karana, I'd be like "let's take a few minute run to the East Karana druid ring, there's way more there". Also, those druids used to not have faction hits.
