camping mobs and "lists" (not /list)

[gkmarino]

Wait what who is this GM that said you can zone out and maintain a camp? Totally against the Project 1999 Guidebook on the Getting Started page. I don't see how it would be okay to leave the zone for any reason. I know the guidebook isn't absolute but then why list incorrect information?

From Section 2: 2. Help understanding what constitutes a 'camp'.

...

That being said, you can absolutely "camp" mobs, and you cannot steal another players 'camp'. In general, if the placeholder or placeholders for a spawn are being killed, that 'camp' can be considered held by the player doing the killing so long as they are keeping the placeholders (or the room if there are no placeholders) cleared, within the same zone, do not die or log off.

Sounds like /list is starting to set bad precedence for other camps.
