Would boxing drive you away?
 
So genuinely curious here. Assuming the population ended up being the same (no overcrowding for camps, etc.), would you still play here if boxing was allowed? Note: There's no way they're ever going to allow boxing here, so don't worry about that.

Why not? Maybe we can get JBoots up to 50k per mq.

If there were a server that allowed boxing to some extent (not allowing 24 boxed MQ2 teams... But humans playing 2-3-4), and a server like P99 that didn't allow. And we were offered a transfer.

I'd be on the boxing server in a heartbeat.

The speed at which you play a single character in EQ Classic is rather slow. Hitting CH every 12 seconds is pretty dull.

However being able to be in a CH chain on clericbox , debuff/handle a charmed pet on chanterbox, toss spot heals and nukes on druidbox and sing regen or mez song on bard box, allows me to play at a quicker speed and accomplish more without having to bother other people.

That being said... No other server comes close to this one in regards to classicness. If we could get a few more fixes like single hotbars, no cycle targeting, single Chatboxes etc. That would increase immersion to new heights. It would be tough to top.

People already do all of these things...

Tranix, Hierophant, Fungi King, Ragefire... All locked down by 1 or 2 people.

Primary reason I'm here is the boxing rule, not classic nostalgia.

I think the biggest issue would be people camping AC, pained soul, fungi camp in the background. Pretty sure there would be a 75 man line for AC camp

An interesting idea I had for a boxing server would be to assign a daily time limit to an account and then any accounts that log on from the same ip as that account shares that time. For instance, the time limit could be 16 hours. If you box, both accounts time limit becomes 8 hours that day, three box and it's 5 hours 20 minutes for the three of them and so on.

I wouldn't want something like that here, but it could be interesting as a different server to play.

And not just those camps ^^ any camp that could be camped with fairly minimal effort would be forever gone since you don't have to dedicate any time. Raid in VP and pull king camp in the background.

Yeah they do, but if theres a rule theres a chance to ban if someone boxes. And hey on live i was all in for boxing myself, but here feels like it kills the classic.
