Overcrowded

I remember this too! I was very happy to get in that side room with 2 mobs lol.

3 mobs- 2 in the far end and one right around the corner. Spent lots of time soloing that camp on live back in the day.

On classic I remember the 4 goblin camps being the main room, 1st side room, WAR room, and raider room. That first side room has two goddamn mobs in it on like an 8-12(?) minute timer--and there was a list. That is overcrowding. I like it here.

HHK camps on Prexus, 40+ people on the regular, during prime time:

Guards in courtyard / bard
Nobles
Guards indoors
Captain downstairs
Main goblin room
War room
Raider room
Side room could be a single camp or split between a group and a solo/duo. If the main room was lucky, they got all of it.

SolB would have 80-100 people in it. Full groups would camp 1-6 spawns.

Lower Guk you could walk around without seeing a single mob and 120 people waiting for respawns as a group of 6 camped a single room with 3-6 spawns.

Sebilis would have 100-120 routinely during primetime.
the 2 entry mobs (solo/duo'd)
entry hallway
rock hallway
upper zone out (UZO)
disco 1
disco 2 (completely separate camps)
bugs
crypt
emp (separate camp)
jail
chef
sewer / lower zone out (LZO)
shrooms / spore king (you camped his room, sometimes 2 groups would be required to hold it)
juggs

You mean you're getting that true classic experience? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not that I don't feel your pain as I ignored Unrest and Mistmoore (so far) because of your exact complaint. However, I'm not sure it's due to overcrowding or due to some very ridiculous "camps." For example, in HHK, there used to be like 4 camps running on classic. On p99, there is 1... and only 1 allowed... ever.

So, things are just different when it comes to that I think. I don't agree that it is overcrowded though. I definitely experienced a very, very, crowded Innoruuk back in my day.

The upper 50s game is pretty crowded for soloers.

This is my real concern. Considering all the changes that have been made (that aren't classic) I can't for the life of me understand why they've left the mechanics such that bards can still do this b

I don't understand how people could enjoy grouping for exp in Overthere. Garbage exp, garbage loot, ugly scenery. Do you really enjoy sitting on the zone wall with 0% chance of death killing cacti and rhinos? I legitimately can't fathom how that is enjoyable for anyone, but to each their own I suppose.

Maybe, though its better than sitting as #5 or whatever on a list (if its even honored).

well i played in 1999 on a red server and we didnt have that problem because it was till back when u could take a piece of gear so we fought for our camps and there just werent as many people on the server but this red server all u can lose is money so idont see a point in playing on it much

The main difference of course is in the gear folks have when you talk about a camp like HHK.
