Project 1999 - Are there any ways/things we can do so the admins know we are not boxing?

Wow. All these newbies joining due to Daybreak's seal of approval is pretty cool, but you guys are way too paranoid. Y'all are way over thinking it.

1) Don't box
2) If you have to go AFK for more than ~20mins (and you're duoing/trioing), camp out.
3) On the off chance a GM does pop up, all they're going to do is make you run in circles, or maybe temporarily ban you if you didn't get an IP exemption.

Don't be a jerk to other people and you'll generally have no problem. The forumquesting is real, but in-game most people don't care enough. I honestly have a hard time believing this many people have multiple people in a household all playing together...

If you don't like the rules, we don't want you here. This is a Classic server, and thankfully we have an abundance of classholes who work to keep it that way (<3 you guys).

There is nothing wrong with the GMs needing to adapt and develop ways to maintain good play styles. This is a fan based server.

Then to read that the gm might come by and ask me to run in circles if my group mate is afk while im soloing monsters, just blows my mind. well im moving on again, it took me about an hour of playing the game and about 5 minutes of trying to log my wife in to the game and get an ip error to never want to play again. it makes me said that daybreak games let this place continue the sham that it is.

boy I am just SO happy, almost ecstatic that you decided to move on.

how disruptive it would be to your FREE classic-EQ experience to run in a circle for 5 seconds.

It's funny that you bring up classic because the 2 boxing ban is actually one of the least classic features of this server.

But I better stop taking about boxing this is turning into a luclin style thread.

BTW guys how about that bazaar

Pro-tip (just in case no one else mentioned because I didn't read the entire thread):

Make sure all your computers have different computer names. I ran into an issue where my computer name (the ID assigned in Windows) was the same on my wife's computer name. It does throw off bells and whistles when you have two accounts logging in from the same "computer name" and IP address. Just make sure you check that out and you'll be good. Or, don't and CS staff will come check you out, watch your group while invis and then make you change it... if you're cool, they will turn you into a Unicorn for like 4 hours.

My friends IPs are different than mine. Is there still concern for this? I mean someone could set up a VPN or SSL tunnel to mask obscure the IP addresses.

Not suspicious.

A VPN isn't going to save you if you can't do figure 8s ;)
