Hello everyone! i started on the server a few weeks ago and today i was swarming in the city of mist and a few players told me its against the rules to swarm in COM. They said a few other zones were off limits too but couldnt give me more details. Where can i see a list of zones im not allowed to swarm in?

For a new player, it can be hard to discern, but:

Any zone that's considered a "dungeon" has different camp rules than "outdoor" zones. In "outdoor" zones, players can only lay claim to a single spawn at a time. In "dungeon" zones, there are player-defined camps that contain multiple mobs. (which are really limited to the mobs within line of sight of the camp location)

"Outdoor" is kind of misleading, because City of Mist, Karnors, Mistmoore, Unrest are outdoors - but are also dungeons.

What "outdoors" really means is the zones with 6:40 spawn times. Karanas, Butcherblock, Commonlands, etc.

"Dungeon" zones have longer respawns. (City of Mist has 21:30 respawn compared to Emerald Jungle which has 6:40 respawn)

So swarming is still allowed in the outdoor zones with 6:40.. Overthere, Dreadlands, Burning Woods, Fronteir Mountains, etc.

Side Note: Player Pigy / Vasanle (creator of PigParse) is a scummer, because although he's been on the server for many years, he stands by the claim that City of Mist is an outdoor zone and other players besides him "can only claim 1 spawn." That is his reasoning for monopolizing the 2nd/3rd floor to Powerlevel his friends. That is false, Pigy, because City of Mist is classified as a dungeon.
