It would be great if you could buy tents that you can use to speed up the 'camp' command.
Sort of like disguise kits for the rogue's disguise command.
Wouldn't need to be instantaneous, but just cut off maybe half a tick off the process. Then it would turn this time sink into more of a plat sink.
speed up the camp command?

i dont know about skill based .. why qould a mage practice camp? across the board lowered time be wondermous!
Because he has no choice? Lichy mages would probably get pretty good at it over time. You know, s/he would get faster at making fires and setting up tents and storing goods over time just through repetition.
Making it more convenient is good of course. It just needs to be long enough for mobs to be able to track people. Anything longer than that doesn't seem necessary.
There could even be sepparate camp times depending on if the person is hunted or not. If the person isn't, then they could get the "express" time.

If nothing else, camp needs to have a long duration in order to make renting at an inn preferable. Otherwise, we could just 'quit' almost anywhere we want, thus making inns obsolete.

Try camping near a hometown Lahgen. It doesn't let you, you have to use the inn. Camping is a way for you to log out of the game without risk of coming back to find your corpse rotted and all your gear up on auction or trying to track down the 5 low level people who found it and split it up amongst themselves.
Camping is a bone that is thrown to the pbase because (even 10 years ago) things come up and you have no choice but to get out quick.
People can go linkdead any time they want and it is instant, sure there is some risk associated with it, but if I am in a DS group and have to leave and just drop link I might even get some exp from the group dragging me along.
Speeding up the camp time will never kill the inns or the hometowns. People go there to interact with other players and to meet before doing things. A faster camp time will only allow for people to tend to real life without wondering if they will have gear when they come back.
Oh crap, gotta go! My car just called me and said that if I don't go pump gas into it at $3.20 a gallon, it is going to cut me off. Sorry!

So far from the other muds I've seen, this camping feature here is extremely slow. Why? I have seen mobs track me when trying to walk from the dwarf town to the human town. They tracked me probably 50 rooms or more in a very short time. Even two minutes is too long to wait on camping. Obviously mobs can move nearly as fast as players. Such a long wait does not have a just cause.
