Two-boxing witch hunt.

[Ahnen]

My wife and I just got our IP exemption. My wife and I met in classic EQ and have very sentimental feeling about the game. The other day we were playing together outside Crushbone and some miserable little clump of dirt was consistently pulling mobs after we broke the camp. Was it because you had been slinking around us lfg and we were not interested in grouping with you? I called him out on it and his immediate recourse was to tell me to quit two-boxing. Is it because you are sitting at your computer alone drinking piss water with your hand down your pants that you cannot possibly conceive that there really are happy people in the world? Why do you feel the need to ruin our EQ experience? You upset my wife and temporarily ruined the magic that is classic EQ for so many of us. SCREW YOU.

[President]

You might as well quit now if you are going to nerdrage over that.

[Japan]

you don't sound all that happy bro.

u sound mad.

[Ahnen]

Why, is this something I should expect to put up with often? I would love to hear from other couples who have had to deal with people accusing them of a bannable offense.

[Droxx]

YOU UPSET MAH WIFE!!!1!

[Wizerud]

Something tells me we're missing part of this story. What could have given the ks'er an indication that you were two-boxing?

The only advice I could give is if you're not two-boxing don't give away any hints that you might be. I guess it's just the price of an IP exemption. Fair, no, but people are very actively looking out for it. It's just the way it is.

[Swishahouse]

Q to tha Q moar, imo!

[purist]

Fuck you two-boxer.

[Villide]

Your forgot to put "wife" in quotation marks. It's ok though, I just imagined you making air quotes while I read it!

[Ahnen]

Wizerud, thanks for giving me a helpful response. The reason I am so unhappy about this guy is that there was really no reason for him to think we were two-boxing, perhaps aside from the fact that we were duoing. Additionally, who would choose to two-box a shaman and a druid?

I appreciate you indicating that this is just how it is. I just wish folks would not use the accusation when as a pejorative. I will just ignore it from now on as I am sure the GMs are used to people being falsely accused.

To the rest of you, I should know better than to post anything in the troll cave. Enjoy your piss water and make sure you wash your hands when you finish. I did get a laugh out of the "Pat" avatar though.

[Zithax]

you don't sound all that happy bro.

u sound mad.

[kinztz]

Who cares? Like really? If you don't want to group with them, and you are just duoing w/ whoever it is you happen to be duoing with and they make a comment because of that... really.. who cares?

Did it change anything? Did it effect your gameplay? No, ignore it and move on. If you aren't doing anything wrong, nobody will do anything to you. If you are, well you should probably stop.

[Wizerud]

Did you even read the first post? It states quite clearly how his gameplay was affected.

[Wurli]

Why, is this something I should expect to put up with often? I would love to hear from other couples who have had to deal with people accusing them of a bannable offense.

It's a pretty rare occurrence. Sometimes people get cranky when you don't invite them to your group when they know you have room. That's happened maybe once or twice to me. Tho, people are usually understanding if you are polite and explain to them the situation.

If the situation gets really heated over a camp dispute then you can petition a GM to intervene.

It's kind of a mixed bag on the server. I would say that the majority of players are reasonable. There are a small amount of griefers, but also a good amount of people that very kind and helpful.

[Kraftwerk]

Did you even read the first post? It states quite clearly how his gameplay was affected.

Technically he is right, but only because his grammar is wrong.

Did it effect your gameplay? No.

The use of the word effect instead of affect is the key here. If Kinztz is, in fact, stating that the OP's gameplay was not effected (executed, produced or accomplished) by the unnamed roguish character then he is accurate in that the OP most likely began playing this server of his own accord. If Kinztz meant, the more likely option, that the OP's gameplay was not affected by the unnamed roguish character then he would be incorrect in that the OP's enjoyment of the game was actually impacted by the event.

So, Kinztz is both right and wrong.

[Dantes]

When I play EQ with my armless wife, everybody thinks I'm 2-boxing. Just because I have to move her character for her and speak for her doesn't mean I'm 2-boxing. SHE HAS NO ARMS, PEOPLE!!! Have some compassion.

[bufferofnewbies]

I wish my wife would play EQ with me. I got her to play WoW for about as long as I could stand to log into that game, but EQ just scares the crap out of her.

"What? They don't tell you where to go and what to do? How do you know where you are going? How do you know they have a quest for you? Why won't it tell you what you are getting before you do the quest? That is so unfair. What do you mean by 'grind'?"

Yeah, so now she plays Farmville and I have to put up with you wierdos! gg WoW. Thanks for screwing it all up! Anyone got a hanky? I need to go pout in a corner. Or at least log in to dispell the snare on some random druid's kite mob, to make me feel better.

LOL, so true.

More funny when explaining to a friend that plays wow how EQ compares.

In EQ you have to go find your corpse naked, you lose XP when you die. Theres no Maps. Zones are huge and takes you acouple of hours to run from one side of the world to the next. Spells take up to 30 secs real time to cast. Mobs chase you to the end of the zone. (And run quicker then you, so you get beat on till the end of the zone) People can block door ways. Money makes you run slowly if you got too much of it. In groups theres no Master loot so quickest clicker wins. Theres no summon stones so you have to wait up to a hour for nubs to get to you. Cant cross zone invite people, they have to be in generally same area as you and you have to target invites. No drinks/food that u can eat to regen your hp/mana, its all works of ticks so you can sitting around acouple of mins to fully regen the pool. People generally grief you for fun.

But its awsome cos' people love to be abused. Come join and i help ya out.

[halbar]

You could add yourself to friends in live. I did it on all my chars so I could check if I was lagging or not by having at least 1 person always on my friends list. They may have changed this at some point, but at least from Kunark to PoP it worked.

Tell me about it. Just happened to me and my boyfriend. Apparently a standard pull is considered 2 boxing.

Oh, and casters (espically clerics) can't sit. They have to move as much as the puller does and make sure you move at the EXACT same time because this is also an obvious sign of dual boxing (as which I have been told). My main is a mage and my boyfriend's is a druid. Careful if you try to move your squishy self to a safe spot while the druid takes a beating to ensure your safety, because thats a sign too.

Pay attention to where you are running, 'cause if say, oh, I don't know, take a drink or take a bite of food and run into a tree = 2 boxing. Heaven forbid you lag a bit into a tree or wall while running. Even typing to guild/group is a challenge on auto-run without running into wall/tree/mob/death/etc.

To my understanding, this is the place to go to rant/rage. I figured hell, everyone else is doing it, I might put in my two cents too. IJS :D

Piss off. Instead of having to read 3 dozen threads scattered like chaff throughout the forum, I'd rather have all the two-boxing allegation stories in one nice collection for my reading pleasure, no matter when they happened to occur.

[Crone]

You guys are great.

You yell at people for not using the forum search feature to find answers and posts, but when they do, and find older posts, you yell at them for bumping a post.

Which is it? Necro, or just spam the boards with useless new posts.

[Messianic]

lol, I apologize - I meant the tone of my all-caps message to be a bit more lighter than that.

I was half-expecting "EngravedWilliam" or whatever his name is to be the necro culprit, and i've ragged on him for constantly necro-ing posts. There's nothing wrong with it, I just found it funny that he did it so often.


Feel free to necro on - know that anything I send your way is in jest ;)

That is awesome and great to know! My Gf and I play together and I loath the day someone accuses us of 2B'ing.

case in point: The other day I needed to trade with her warrior...I could have easily logged on both comps for the trade but I would be deathly afraid of being detected of 2b'ing some how. I waited the 20 mins for her to finish with making diner to make the trade. We DUO around in Everfrost. However i believe just by looking at us one would be able to tell that we are two real people. Plus we talk in spacial when people are around just to make it obvious.

Becareful whatever u do apparently they dont even need to do a test to figure out if your boxing, if you look like it your likely to get banned :(

[Engraverwilliam]

we dont even play unless we play together lately. Budy busy lives. Thats why we like p99, because it offer us the EQ experience with out coughing up 30 bucks a month on subs when we get to play so less often.

But As I said before. it is pretty damn obvious that we are two people. We don't even engage auto-follow when running around.

[MoonlightStoner]

can't wait to get my exemption to play with my brother will feel like i'm a teenager all over again :P . that's what the ignore button is for tho there's always gonna be a crybaby trying to ruin your gaming experiences trolls get off on it I don't understand why people would waste so much of their time to ruin yours unless they have nothing better to do. Fail troll is fail!

[maegi]

Auto follow was put in for a reason. Yes I'm necroing this thread. Using auto follow doesn't mean you're 2 boxing. However since my wife and I play exclusively together and rarely group, we've been accused a few times as well. My response is always stfu or petition it. We are not 2 boxing. So I'm sure we have been petitioned a few times and I laugh because I know Uthgaard is probably ripping them a new ass for wasting his time when he's trying to actually improve the server, not babysit someone's false allegations because they haven't had a piece of ass since their finger slipped thru the White Cloud. True Story.

One question tho, if she has to get up and let out the dogs or I got to go pee or whatever other real life thing that can happen for all of 2-3 minutes, is it ok to then use auto follow...or is this technically 2 boxxing since she's actually flushing a toilet or letting the dogs back in while auto following me or vice versa. Should we instead stop moving or log off and then come back everytime the phone rings or the dog has to piss or whatever? Serious question.

I've come to realize... The farther you get in the game... The less asshattery you see running around the world.

[Sat Sep 11 01:09:52 2010] Bilbus tells you, 'right, but have you taken a serious look at the names in the tunnel? It was totally subjective and done only because i pointed out that this particular GM posted pictures of him in the forums with like 10 people in the pic that broke the naming rule'
[Sat Sep 11 01:10:03 2010] Bilbus tells you, 'out of spite'
[Sat Sep 11 01:10:36 2010] Bilbus tells you, 'if you feel that its ok for the GMs to feel like a corrupt police force and that its good for the server long term, go with it'
[Sat Sep 11 01:11:13 2010] You told Bilbus, 'you dont get a name that violates a rule because you saw some other people with name violations. we fix them when they're reported, and we sure as hell dont answer to you. you want to waste my time crying, and border on staff insult, keep it up, you'll hit server select faster than you can grab a tissue'

[Sat Sep 11 01:07:23 2010]

He's been crying for 6 months, don't make the mistake of thinking that this was ever about a name. Some people want to be a victim so badly they'll keep pissing people off until they get their wish.
