20 years and counting, here.

Well, when I started playing they weren't in the same league as Mages, Wizards, rogues etc.

It was a fun class to play though and did a lot of other things so I stuck with it.

The problem with the current manastone list is that you HAVE to be at your computer for a bare minimum of 30 hours straight without sleep.

Here's the solution:

Rather than having a list system that is first come first serve.... have a system where looting is awarded to the player with the most CONTRIBUTION points. Contribution points are awarded when you have assisted in some way, shape, or form to the EE's death. The player with the most contribution points present when the EE dies gets to loot the manastone, resetting their contribution points to zero. Same rule applies where a player can't start accruing contribution points until a week after looting. Also, AFK check is still needed so a bard can't sit at the camp playing a song and rack up contribution points.

Isn't this how most raids work with "Dragon" points? If you spend 8 hours helping others get a manastone, your contribution should count for something.

It seems to me that a points system is the most fair and healthy solution versus these 30+ hour camps, but whenever I've seen it mentioned it's simply ignored. What are the downsides to this approach?

Remove the drop, put them on a vendor at 750k.

drop rate of mana stones should be random sometimes you get them fast after each other other times rare, Think pained soul.

here is a link to a old cleric board talking about it: (October 12, 1999)

(That forum is a good place to find in era posts, it was the old version of EQcleric)

Go back to classic rules and stop trying to polish a turd. Trying to fix the list command without removing it is essentially the same thing.

Not classic Everquest. Putting players thru this will only make them resent playing here.

Wake up.

Holiday gift to green/teal players -

One day event, every person who attends gets 1 legacy item per account(I understand people will make additional accounts, I don't know if there is an easy fix to combat that, just freethinking here).

After that FFA normal rules apply. No unhealthy list casualties, no more list. Done. If people want to poopsock/no life the camp after, have fun.

"Mehhhh not classic mehh". There are many not classic features due to the fact we are pieces of shit who can't play nice on a 20 year old elf sim.
