what like frenzied? yea.. maybe... there are like 5 10k item merbs out there, so when 1 is camped, then just move to another one, where senior jerk jerky jerk isnt there...

I agree that its a long camp to wait for 2 rare drops before you can get your chance at it.. but seriously 9/10 times people are COOL in game! and will put you on a list and you don't even have to sit there next to them... Hell i prefer if people DONT sit next to me when im camping something because chances are there is this MASSIVE RP drama going on in my head and sometimes i like to act it out in game with /emots and :things.. So im happy to take down an alts name and send them a tell when I'm done...

Its gona get cray in velious yes, and to get some of that stuff you know you want, you are going to have to figure out how to camp an item for at least 2 drops, maybe more.. you may find a camp with like 8 people in line literately standing there waiting for a camp.. shits cray, but that is how i got my Jboots off najina 15 years ago, by waiting in a virtual que for 25hrs.. so technically it is classic.

Im just trying to say that its not as bad as it is in our heads, in reality... and it will be as bad as it is in our heads once velious is launched, but its not exactly a terrible thing.

I for one am getting by just fine, even though I wasnt here early enough to get a DE mask.. id LIKE a de mask, but then again, id also like super sonic jet that runs on perpetual motion.

Im just tryin to say its not as bad as it may seem to be, in reality.. on the server.. outside of forums [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

hell me and clark hate eachohter, jk I dont think we hate each other at all, but I argued with him about this for days and it turned out a-ok and #bluetopia is real.
What your post really touches on for me, is just how awfully (and I am speaking generally here) exploited and manipulated camps/spawns/mobs/drops will be, come the release of Velious. Right now there are hundreds of people who know way too much about all the places to be in Velious when the doors open.

It's nothing like it was back in the day, there will be zero exploration and adventure - just straight to the shooting gallery.

If people think Velious is going to 'open up' any thing, they're in for a rude awakening.

This. Everything will be permacamped for months I'm sure.

to some extent, yes...but most of the problem you're describing is the natural consequence of a 15 year old MMO emulator. this is a static server once velious opens and the patch timeline runs through. thats it. the pain of the situation would have been put off if the actual time line had been possible to implement, but this is where we are.

in the long run, this isn't anything we didn't know was bound to happen from the first time Nilbog made his announcement that he was working on developing a classic server.

this is still the best classic emu server out there, by far. its exactly what it set out to be and more in my opinion.

Expect corpses to pile up at all the cash camps. There is pixel attaining to do.

I made a post in either this thread or the other thread related to this one that goes into further details as to why this isn't a problem.

It's a molehill being turned into a mountain by a handful of people who expect camps to be open and available when they want them to be. That just isn't going to happen. I looked into all the major "problem" camps that people seem to be complaining about in these threads - the same camps that are "perma-camped" to the point where it's become a "serious issue" - like the AC, Tranix, etc. and found that they are all being rotated just fine. Plenty of people are getting an opportunity to camp these items - hence, a non-issue.

We don't necessarily like it, but Sirken already asked if it was possible to limit lore items to 1 even on corpses - unfortunately, because of the way corpses are coded, this would be exceedingly difficult and time consuming. Not worth it.
