What were the rules on each of the eqlive zek servers regarding this, and how did the community treat it.

Tallon Zek was mostly player enforced rules. GM's would step in and watch and if anything was suspicious they would step in. Training was not allowed, but GMs didn't police it so it was socially accepted as normal and players/guilds dealt with it. Unless it got too extreme...like taking shifts to CC someone :X.

That's pretty much it. GMs just dealt with game issues...lost items, quest items, etc.

Loot and Scoot was a given for people who followed it. Everyone was allowed one strike when it came to it. If someone tried to attack after LnS, then they were pointed out by everyone and no longer allowed to LnS--at least for a while that is.

Sometimes in major raid zones the LnS rules were altered for training purposes. I think it was like 1 hour LnS for guild wars or something (might of just been on the nullbox). I think that is good though. Loss fair and square for a boss is legit imo and better luck next time.

there was no LnS rule written. i think the term LnS came after the zeks have been launched

[Silikten]

yeah, it was a player base rule ^_^

in other words no gms on any pvp server dealt with one player "camping" another

Corpse Camping created some of the best PvP battles ever on SZ. GM's regulating this would be a terrible idea.

Only bind camping. Not like it was a serious infraction, but it was "dealt with" from time to time.

Everyone hit the nail on the head so far..There was never any official LnS server rules back on live.
LnS was player created and maintained. Allowed/Denied between winner and loser.

examples:
* raid - worked itself out civilly between guilds unless one guild was "known" for having members that like to loot and continue interupting = denied/griefed/CC'd
*players - asked and either allowed/denied. again if looter wont stop until he wins = player gains a reputation and climbs high on the KOS/grief/CC ladder of others.

People still grief when they lose however, but LnS basically works itself

Aerist was the douche guild on VZ that never honored LnS. They were total griefers.

There's always gonna be griefers. Better that they jizz their griefing pants by denying LnS than more annoying things like training raids and shit like that. Griefers are like goth emos, they just want to do something that doesn't conform with other people's expectations.

[Palemoon]

No to "official" Loot and Scoot. Let the players handle it.
