HHK vileness

[YendorLootmonkey]

Group leader can curb that a little by setting expectations up front: "Added you to the list as a rep for DPS"

But yeah, if I'm a ranger and their cleric leaves, I know I'm gonna get skipped.

HOWEVER, if the guy sitting off to the side foraging rabbit meat and pods of water for the rest of the group leaves, I'm next up, and I get skipped over, I'm going to be a little miffed going completely off the rails posting a 5,000-word wall of text complete with logs and screenshots in RNF, along with embedded code that auto-plays an MP3 of Ozzy's "Crazy Train", ranting about such injustice and audacity that will inevitably backfire on me within the first page of replies.

People need to get over the idea that they're entitled to a group juts because you're on a list. If a group needs a DPS and you're a tank, too damn bad, sucks to be you.

I agree 100%

Woo this nonclassic zem in HHK has caused players to be the most vile people. The hostility.. the trains... the crying.. literally.. i seen a halfling crying in a corner over being bypassed on a group list because he afk'd to run to liquor store. People waiting 3 hours for a group because they can get 30-36 in a day there. What have we become?

Is there any end to this madness?

I'm curious, when do you decide when you personally apply the "classic" standard to things? Because I've seen you argue in threads for non-classic stuff, but then criticize other things as non-classic. Not trying to needle you at all; honestly just curious as to what your standard is.

My standard is simple. To have the game as intended by the original EQ teams and as far away from p99 blue cheese as possible.

Essentially anything that betters the community and makes it less toxic.

Here and I thought this was going to be about killing guards. Disappointed.

Not having gob camp split into multiples makes the lower gobs kind of a waste since, I assume, they stop giving exp way before people leave the area due to out leveling the raider room.

made it to 40 with casual play without having to go into hhk once..

also been grouping since lvl 5

solo 1-5

grouped 5-40

lots of bad, new, afkers, loot whores, people telling other people how to play, people not even knowing how to play their role. I see so many people come alive when a mob is in camp only to have the mob do the death walk and 2 people don't even move for the next 3-5 mins. No words no warning.

its been a shit show and im sure hhk has been a cherry

Forget about getting any loot when you group. There are always one or two people whose right-clicking-on-dead-mobs skill is at 11.

Classic.
I would spend hours lfg in hhk/ct.
Just go to the other zones, lower zem but twice as many mobs.

On the Rathe goblins were three groups. One in the lookout room and two would sit on the top of the stairs and take turns pulling from the warrior and raider room. The ZEM may have been changed later but it was still good in classic era. I leveled 22-35 there in '99 and even though we'd have just a fraction of the mobs it was fast exp, even then.

Gob camp is 4 camps, stairs, small room on the right and each other room.

That's how it was for my live server, that's how it is on all p99 servers.

But if you are going to challenge a group for one of the other camps I highly advise you approach the group leader in a nice friendly manner. I would then state camp rules on this server and you would like a camp. They get to decide which they wish to hold on to, you get your pick of one of the others. After that the other two become FTE unless someone else moves in. If myself or one of the other Guides have to deal with a dispute and screenshots are provided with you being a raging dick, we may rule in the other camp's favor and kick you out of the zone or a break from the game.

Be nice
