FREEDOM TO CAMP ANYWHEREFollow

i WOULD LIKE TO THINK ALL THE GM AGENTS WHO MAKE THIS RULE THAT THIS IS A SHARED CAMP NO ONES OWN A CAMP..ITS A GREAT RULE AND I LIKE IT VERY MUCH, IF WE DID OWN A CAMP THEN NO ONE WOULD HAVE A SPOT TO XP..ALL THE GOODIES RARES WILL ALWAYS BE TAKEN..IST GOOD TO KNOW THAT WE CAN SHARE A CAMP:)

I don't believe in "owning" a camp, but if a group is killing there, then I think they should be able to stay there for a bit. May not be to the "rule" but it is common etiquette. If someone asks and wants to share a camp then that is great. But if just anyone could come in and take over a camp, purhaps higher levels then no one would ever be able to level up. Personally that is one way I have become very familiar with the areas of the game.....looking for a camp. There are several places to camp for every level... Tunaria is quite big. That is just my opinion.

Oh and on the flaming....there is no reason for flaming...I'm sorry that person was just mean to you, hate that people like that ruin the game for others.

This is just me, but in real life, everything is survival of the fittest. The lion does not attack the healthiest animal, it will stalk and kill the weaker ones to conserve its well being. The strongest will survive, and weak will perish. In this, the gene pool stays clean and the species lives on. The same should be true with camps. No one owns any camp on EQOA. SONY owns EVERY camp on EQOA. Everyone pays to go to the camps, so no one person or group is better than another in that respect. Anyone can go to any camp, without having to ask permission from anyone at all.

Now I know the frusturation of grinding and another group showing up, and I really appreciate someone asking if they can share the camp, but if they don't, I don't start crying. This is where people need to stop complaining and do something. If they want to show up and try to take over, don't take it sitting down, kill faster. One thing is for sure, no group will miss the mobs they don't pull because they're going slow. If you can't go faster than another group, then you deserve to wait for a spawn or find another camp, cause there is no good reason that they should wait for kills when they clean the camp faster. Hey, I've been on both ends of this situation, and sometimes, it's tough, I'll admit, but life sucks, get a helmet.

Im sorry for the dbl post but this has to be said...

Im sorry I dont agree with that, its that kind of additude that ruins gaming for everyone else. If im at a place like the front of kappa bridge I dont mind if someone takes the mid top of it but I do mind if they move in on the same area that im in as it slows the spawn ALOT as I know from experience which as I said in my other post it kills the whole purpose of a grind. It dosnt take much common sense to realize this and instead of competing/arguing with the grp that was there before you you can spend that time going to the other 1000000 places to camp. One more thing...life dosnt suck, the people that do stuff like this suck.

Hey Sing I have seen the GM's step in but remember they can't be everywhere at once

that was the biggest mistake they ever made by making an announcment that no on owns a camp

I tried to let this go but I can't. You that say if you are too weak to KS another group that comes along and barges in on your camp and say either deal with it or move on, you're full of it. I know most of you cried like babies and probably used colorful language and those of you who just left without a word, yes the meek will inherit the earth, but only til those stronger than you tire of whatever charecter they are playing and PL an alt up to do the same exact thing.

It all boils down to ONE point. Respect. Either you have it, give it, and receive it, or you don't. Go ahead tell me all about how this is a game. How nothing here means nothing. Then show me your level 50+ toon that you spent weeks or months on. The way you act here is either a direct representation of who you are or because of the security of no one knowing who you are, it is a showing of that sad, sad repressed little child inside who was picked on and now uses this game as a tool to take revenge for all those bullies that abused you all your life.

I feel like a story. Earlier I was grouped with someone in a great team wiping out the entire colps camp that you get through that guy near the GM coach. Well as we were circling the whole camp, there was no one else there, during one pass we saw a level 55 Nec farming. He didn't interfere too much with what we were doing but while running around we talked a little about how if you are farming in an area used quite a bit by XP groups then you should find another place to go if/when an XP group shows up. I told them about how I like to farm at the bandits near DM and if a group shows up to XP I either make sure they have enough spawns to keep them busy or I shut up shop altogether. At that time one of my group members said, that's where I remember you from, his alt a 26 Bard had showed up at the bandits and I gave them the camp. At the time I was level 38 and could have just owned them.

Misquote "Better to have chosen a good name than great riches"
It goes something like that and if you don't know the meaning then ask your parents.

If someone moves in on your camp ask them respectfully to leave in a tell, don't use so many four letter words.

The only thing to use is RESPECT! Be respectful, if you need something at that camp, ask, and 4 times out of 5 the people will be like "sure".

People running up and ruining my work and training me, sucks. But it takes alot to get me to report to a GM, I only did it once, because some guy wouldn't leave me alone. He wanted 1000 tunar and a SOW. When I said I didn't have the money to give, he followed me around for a half hour until I reported him. (I was hunting for a specific item in a specific place) There is nothing more annoying than having someone send tells to you and call you horrible things. So I thought I might just put him on ignore, but he was really bad so i reported him.

RESPECT is the key.

OK, heres a thought: This IS supposed to be an RPG, right? So maybe a human paladin should hail the group working camp and ask for permission to share. Maybe the delf necro would simply ignore the other group and go to work, if not thumb his nose in their general direction. The ogre would simply crash in and thump everything, while the Erudite Wizzy would simply leave the camp to the group already there, probably with a GL shouted on his way out. Of course on the real EQOA, all these chars are grouped together grinding with no thought to race or alignment other than "Wow that Erudite chick is stacked!"

Personally it depends on my mood. If I'm annoyed or close to ding or just wasted 45 minutes forming group then waiting for healer to bb, I'm pullin any mobs I can get to, and god forbid anyone says anything to the contrary. But many times I've asked politely for permission to share or simply moved on. I have weird mood swings i guess.

Oh yeah it seems everyone in my town plays EQOA because I could probably score plutonium faster than a game card, so anyone who I ever laugh at people with or group with, yeah I'm alive, be back in a few days.
