ALL HAIL THE LIST - THE LIST IS LOVE - THE LIST IS LIFE

Sure, and there were lists for camps like goblins in HHK. That was definitely a part of the game.

But there's a massive difference between a player-maintained and agreed upon list, and a command baked into the game that forces other players to obey it. They're completely different things, and I don't feel like the latter is in the spirit of classic EQ, for the reasons I mentioned above.

The problem with applying player-made lists for highly sought after items on an emulated server is that we don't have the CSR coverage on P99 that you did back in the day on live.

During the Guide days, there were tons of Guides and GMs. I remember hanging out in CSHome on various different servers and there were always like 7-10 CSR members (mostly Guides unless it was during a GM's shift) in there during the busier hours. So it was much easier to prevent people screwing around with the player made list (i.e. ignoring it or letting their friends jump ahead if they were keeping the list) because for the most part you could get CSR assistance a lot quicker to enforce the list. On P99, there just aren't the resources for that.

This isn't intended as any disrespect to the staff of course. The GMs and Guides do a great job, there's just not a ton of them (and understandably so).
