For the life of me I cannot see what harm would be caused by simply allowing such behavior.

And before anyone says it: I do already keep the auction stream going in my browser and tab over once and awhile but its just giant waste of time for the past couple of days. I think these "lower value" items probably don't get bothered to be offered for sale so you pretty much need to "WTB them..

You want to completely change this server because you're having trouble with one of the most trivial things to accomplish.....if going to Chardok and asking for free spells doesn't work, just ask someone in east commons to auction WTB xxxx for you ....join a guild ....interact with people....forcing interaction with other people is something the no box rule accomplishes. It is definitely classic.....when everquest first came out most of us still had 56k modems, as high-speed internet was not widely available in many areas. Even if it was, most people's computers couldn't run two instances of the game and almost no one owned two computers powerful enough to each run one instance....

When accounts are free... well, look at The Hidden Forest (people 12 box)

That and not everyone had a system to box EQ on the same putter well enough. That and dial-up connections. It even made bard kite swarming more rare, from what I saw compared to here. I was boxing at the time, but it UO :D the con and the system specs wasn't as demanding. I did a ton of boxing on PEQ grand over the years, have a ton of capped chars, but nothing near as fun as being stuck with only one character at a time like here. Even before P99, people where just demanding a non-boxing server. imo a big part of this servers success.

I had an idea that would improve the server, and is far more reflective of "classic" if it's being arbitrarily defined as "up until SoV", at which time boxing in EC was extremely common. If that makes me "an entitled piece of shit", I'd hate to think what that makes you.

Due to the lack a single good reason contrary to the proposed idea, I know with certainty at this point people are abusing the IP exceptions and/or using some program to multibox and they simply want to be the only ones able to do such.

Yeah, another conspiracy, eh?
You haven't played on the multi-box allowed servers yet I take it, which I think are all the rest. That or didn't play live during this era as no one in my guild was multi-boxing for a vendor alt. Nobody, and we had a lot of guildies.

Llandris gave the best "single good reason" if that was what you were looking for.
Of course you could always play one of the other servers rather than expecting us to surrender ours. But I get it, less people in them, so you don't want to - though you don't get that multi-boxing servers tend to go that way. But for a moment you would enjoy multi-boxing on a populated server, until it died anyway.

Simple answer is its not allowed because this isnt a democracy. This is a dictatorship run by Rogean and Nilbog and their word is final. If you dont like it as others have stated there are other servers that allow it that you can play on.

No. Don't encourage OP to do any of this. I wouldn't wish this on anyone or any guild. I feel sorry for anyone who already has to interact with him. Even worse, people in the real world that can't /ignore or /q to find peace.

I think Rogean should add a Suggestions for the Server sub-forum so they can all be ignored in the same place.
