The spirit of the game is that you CAN do terrible things. You CAN. It is in place. It isn't like a modern mmo where there are systems in place to stop things like this. The CHOICE of the players, that is what makes this game good, I think at least.

Didn't the live version of the game have GM's and guides and a play nice policy? You think Everquest was some wild west where griefing and being a giant douche was just allowed to run rampant?

Ah fuck that shit you should be able to corpse AC rings. It is against the spirit of the game if you can't. As long as you kill yourself and get everything cleaned up before the next Ph, I don't see any problems with this.
You can corpse them provided nobody else has interest in the camp, if you have a list or people who want the camp (according to this old rules post) you cant at that time corpse them to continue camping it

If you are the only one there and nobody else has come along or is there waiting for the camp then corpse them all you want

What's worse, corpsing AC rings to deny other players of loot?

Or....waking the sleeper to deny other players loot?

And the GMs refusing to put him back in the zone on a timelocked server. Gotta go to another server for that bit of classic content, kids!

I feel you're really making a false appeal to authority.

The spirit of the game is that rare items are intended to be camped then moved on from, allowing the next player to experience the content. That is the entire reason of the lore mechanic.

Corpsing is just a work around discovered because the original developers either didn't give much thought as to how to accrue duplicates of an item while only having one inventoried at a time, underestimated the sneakiness of players that would find the work around or knew the futility of fighting against such behaviour meant they only bothered implementing the low hanging fruit incentives for not farming lore MQs for no drop items.
