We all know its not classic at this point, /list is a compromise.

What about what I suggested won't work?
There would be 100's of players in the zone.

I have a simple solution that would resolve the majority of our issues without hurting the current system too much.

Create a log for minutes spent in camp when you join a /list and allow people to log out. Afterwards allow them to rejoin the list with their minutes at the second loot spot in camp.

Would be a lot healthier for the general player base to be able to get some sleep without afk checking 35-60+ hours.

I think trying to prioritize people who've waited longer is 100% unclassic, and also 100% unnecessary.

Imagine this: typing /list puts you in a queue, but NOT for the mob. Instead, you're listing for a chance to be next after the current camp holder.

When the current camp holder gets their item there's a roll with everyone on the list, and they all have a chance to be next. Whoever wins waits for their mob to spawn, and everyone goes back to listing.

It's simple, and easy for our devs to implement. It solves all the problems with account sharing because account sharing doesn't help. It solves the problem with not sleeping because you can take a break to sleep and not be any farther behind because of it.

And most importantly of all, it restores classic EverQuest, or at least as much as possible for something that can never be truly classic again: it once again makes getting the best items in the game a combination of luck and patience ... just as they were back in '99-'01.

I will admit that your suggestion isn't that bad of an alternative.

However, you seem to be advocating we enforce players behave 'classically' while playing. That's irrelevant, it's like saying the meta of enchanters using charm pets all the time in groups is not classic. It's a living game, the content is classic, but the players are not. People no longer crowd Lake of Ill Omen, the Hole is massively crowded (unclassic ZEM?), which is not classic. Should we enforce zone quotas to make the game more classic?

No thanks.

Why do we have to tell people to play the game like they did back in 1999? This is no different. Just because players ran lists a certain way back then, if at all, doesn't mean we have to do it the same way today does it?

Again, people are already doing exactly what I suggested on Green at the Hierophant cloak camp, should we ban them for trying to be fair instead of using the basic list queue?

delete the p99 wiki or never talk about how much you want things to be classic again.

The population doesn’t say whether or not people like the current list system. I’m not sure how you are making those implications.

The current system is demonstrably unhealthy...
It's almost as if you have Stockholm syndrome.

Look in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.

Default Pickpocket beads

They are claiming that 2 rogues have been pickpocketing beads for days at /list camp.

Id like someone to notify staff it is being said that #1 has been passing off pick pocketed beads for hours on end on one session.

GM's maybe have a look at Ishpan and few others. The ooc is blown up with claims they saw pickpocketed beads.

That's actually really funny.

I wonder if all of those beads would/will get deleted if true.

Also, there is no way rogues would actually be able to get away with this if they were doing it on multiple sets of beads; they had to have realized they would get caught.
