Sir Lucan D'Lere - FTE or Camp?

Immediately tag = FTE.

Maybe you're misunderstanding things. If the person camping them does not tag them pretty much as soon as they spawn, then it becomes FTE. You cannot let them stay up uncontested. That's not how *any* camp works, much less Lucan.

However, there is generally a group of people that show up 1-2 minutes before he spawns and will try to FTE "steal" him from the person that's sat there for quite a while.

If this happens, I would recommend petitioning with proof of it happening.

Actually, what you are saying is that if it isn't snap pulled then you "lose".

If player A, who has been sitting there for 4 hours because he doesn't know when Lucan was last killed were go grab a drink of water from his kitchen and Lucan spawns and 10 seconds later Player A hasn't engaged, is that too long of a "snooze"?

I think if somebody's "camping" him he/she or they should have a reasonable amount of time to engage.

Is 10 seconds reasonable? No.

A few minutes (3-5) is reasonable.

Aye, I think i remember reading time to engage for Camps is 5 mins, not sure if I can find the post though.

Could we get some consistency with verina tomb and such then?

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. You're intentionally misinterpreting it for some reason, whether you disagree with the rules or you're playing devil's advocate, or whatever. I don't care. Quit being glib.

You're not allowed to AFK camp, so yes. You have to be at keyboard when it spawns. It would suck if what you describe in your scenario happens, but that's unfortunate luck. Now you know the time of death, though, and you can better plan for the next kill.

That's definitely too long. You would be inconveniencing a lot of people.

EverQuest is a MMORPG. When you log into EverQuest, and you see all those other people running around with blue and purple (and sometimes red) names over their heads, please realize that those are real people who are here to play and enjoy the game, just like you.

If you show up to camp something, and there is another player already there, try talking to them like the real person that they are! Communicating your intentions (as well as learning what their intentions are) can go a long way to avoid a conflict.

Silently standing in a corner with invis on waiting for the exact moment a mob pops to steal it is not only against the rules, it is a surefire recipe for conflict. Please try to be communicative with other players about camps like this. Talking it out can spare a lot of unnecessary trouble.

We are doing our best to make Project 1999 a fun and hospitable place to enjoy classic EQ. Every time you are able to work something out directly with another player, it helps the staff tremendously.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Thanks

So how about Phinny? Typically you can wait there with your posse and then once it gets closer to spawn time other guilds start showing up... On more than one occasion I've seen players start the seahorse pull immediately right when he spawned even though they were not setup there first claiming it's an FTE race. Static spawn? So it's camp then?

Seriously, nerf soulfires and heal pots on blue. Ivandyr hoops were deemed broken but soulfires and heal pots are ok? Nerf the pots, make soulfire paladin only and give them a reason to be wanted in a raid setting.

Nah, the unshaven ones will simply require all the monks and rogues and cleric-bots to pack reapers lest they be denied their precious DKP. But if the change came without warning all seven of the raiding paladins on the server could gather to bathe in the cleansing and invigorating tears of the 1337dewds who hadn't spent their charges yet.

Had a few members get week bans for FTE'ing Lucan. GMs have made their stance on Lucan pretty clear.

Also today Moregan intervened AG FTE'ing Lucan from a Paladin who was camping him for his epic. Guessing what this post is about.
