When you truly look at eq addicted players whether p99, red, or the official eq tlps, its truly fucked up how far gone a lot of these people are. It's might be impossible to appreciate when you're in the frame, but it's possible to take a step back.

At least when you recover from heroin you get a redemption story...

What is the general redemption arc of a forumquester?

It's 2020 ya'll can discord or Hotmail account eachother hand off times, no need to wait around at the camp until you are ready to do the hand offs.

Anyway, I rolled a dark elf, put my points in CHA, do not need a mask to pretend to be a dark elf, I am a happy dark elf. Never a half elf, or non-elf.

How long is the typical end-to-end wait for the guise camp at this point anyway? More than 24 hours?
Did it 2 weeks ago. 14.5 hrs total starting at #5.

It's balanced around whatever the devs decide to balance it around.

The problem is that (almost)nobody back in the day knew that things like guise and manastone would stop dropping. It entirely changes the calculus of player interaction. They just don't have the amount of staff to constantly litigate the invariable disputes/shitshows that would be the invariable result.

I agree with the fact they had to do something, though disagree with the implementation, since it opens another can of non-classic worms. if they do seek a fair system they will have to make all the list members get a random chance at the item when it drops-- not a system where because I and and my 4 friends have screen share I'm guaranteed to get the drop and anyone who doesn't do the same is fucked.
