Guy ahead of me passed out for 30mins at #1 and lost his spot before he got a stone. He had been there 45 hours straight. Guy behind me has been on for 50hours now, is still #3. Hasn't logged off once. Guy currently ahead of me at #1 currently goes LD occasionally and i suspect has changed humans once or twice. Guy 2 slots behind me in 4th is at 35hrs or so i think now. 5th is in the 30's too. And a bunch are 20+ through to 8 or 9. | |||

Comparing this to any other camp is laughable, I thought I made that clear in my first post that I've done every single 'hardcore' camp there is to do in p99's history, and this is by far significantly harder. Pained soul for 60 hours is a fucking dream, I'll do that ANY day nonstop, as I can have 5min microsleeps, and if I afk 15mins to walk my dog I don't lose my camp. 30 hours straight for verix about 2 months ago was nothing for me, doesnt even rate a mention in the top 20 for shitty camps ive done. This manastone shit is soul destroying and physically demanding.
That said there should be a solution, not whinging. Possible solutions in my eyes: Make manastone 2 different items. Make the ones that drop on green and teal no-drop "a manastone" to remove this cross server bullshit for potential server mergers or changes. Make the normal manastone also drop and just be ridiculous rare like spirit wracked cords were. So rare it doesn't rate a mention as a speculative drop, just a nice treat for someone lucky enough. Add an ability to "/list afk 60" Where you can afk for 60mins and keep your spot on the list and advance on the list without doing afk checks. But you can only do so every 4 hours. Add an ability to /list afk sleep, where your position gets paused in the list, others can overtake you as the list moves, so you could stay position 5 while sleeping and position 6 goes to 4, as something is looted. Stays current for 8 hours, only able to do once per day. Make all list positions IP locked. No change of IP allowed. Or MAC address locked so you cant change devices for instance. Or add geofencing to the IP so you cant change IP's from an area (so as an australian in Brisbane I'd need to have someone at least in my city, at least allowing my IP to change at ISP level). You should be one human per camp, not one toon. Have list position decay if you fail afk checks. So fail a check = knocked back 2 positions from 1 to 3, or 3 to 5 etc. Not from 1 to nonexistent. | ||

If you really want to do Manastone right now you should be prepared to account share with some friends so you can all get sleep, take showers, cook dinner, a single individual can't really do any of those things while maintaining their spot on the list.

I've been reading this and must say this is an actual threat to the P99 community. The staff really needs to address this. The /list at the EE camp is a huge fail at this point.
I also know for a fact that the manastone should be the common drop. When EQ first launched Verant had no clue how powerful the stone was. Get this, even though the stone was common, nobody bothered to camp it, until one day some dude realized how powerful of an item it was, then it caught on like fire. Several months after launch Verant decided to make it more rare. Then, even later, they removed it all together. True story. On Red launch the stone dropped commonly. I know. I was there. We saw several a day drop without even a line. My suggestion. Make it drop like 75% of the time like it should be. /thread | ||

After 27.5 hours between manastone drops, one just dropped for Pine. Soo happy for him!
