Stormfeather -- Policy Incorrect?

[fastboy21]

the problem is that some of the "problems of camping" are part of classic EQ.

The only way to really fix these issues would be to dismantle the mechanics and hardcode solutions into the game. Like adding first to engage messages to raid mobs as a solution. There could be a hardcode solution to policing lists at camps, announcing the loot a player got off a mob (signalling that his ownership of the camp was over), etc.

The obvious trade off is that hardcode solutions (i.e. changing the game) have consequences in their emerging play on the game itself --- when the mission of the server is to recreate classic eq (not fix classic eq) it becomes an situation where you have to trade off between fixing the game and recreate the classic one.

^this.

I think certain camps need certain rules. The amount of abuse I’ve seen @ AC is disgusting.

I've watched people corpse 5+ rings in one session. You can swim offshore of the island and see a pile of naked bodies just under the waterline

This would be because people rely on the honor system too much and never physically check in on the camp to the person holding it

what was that word again...First To Engage.. I think that's all that matters, who cares what you're doing in between that time.

If I was jacking off or sleeping in between a mob spawn what does it matter if I come back in time to engage it?

These people also used to kite SF around for however long it took to find a buyer for loot rights.

I personally think everything should be FFA. Highest dps wins and if you don't loot by the time lockout elapses, it's up for grabs. Only rules should be against harassment and training

Menden told me today that kiting/stalling non-raid mobs has a limit, in the range of 10 minutes or so. Another guide (Cylok? I'm bad with names) told me that someone can stall Lodi indefinitely if they'd like, so who knows I guess.

Great guy, by the way.
