Should this server allow boxing of level 1 characters only?
 
I've been pulling my hair out these last days just trying to get some of my 50+ spells. The spells are apparently being bought and sold according to p99 auctions, but never when I'm on my EC mule apparently, Whenever I camp my main out i at risk for losing my camp and at my level now it's not easy to simply find another camp. 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..

Nope. Don't allow this. Suck it up and tunnel quest like the rest of us.

Why not? Be specific.

Because you must suck it up.

Being allowed to box a tunnel-mule is very un-classic and creates a very un-classic environment. Now everybody rarely ever has to run to the bank or make dedicated EC tunnel visits to get things bought or sold which, for better for worse, is a staple classic EQ experience. Tunnel would be completely different and everything would be shittier. Convenience isn't always best. Much of the draw of classic EQ is precisely its inconvenience; for people who like to delay gratification, accomplishing something in EQ is that much more rewarding because of the process involved.

EQ is like edging for six hours and then finally having a tantric, transcendent orgasmic experience, versus the modern MMO where you nut in like 10 mins and it's meh

Not classic? almost every player who didn't box other characters 50+ in classic had an EC mule boxed instead, or friend/guildmate doing it. If you want to make some kind of completely arbitrary argument about the accomplishment of sitting on your ass and drooling on your keyboard as you hit your EC macro button that's fine, but not classic? puhleez.

DMN is an angry fella

No. We don't need the bazaar in EC. You can post on the forums, sit in EC like normal, and/or use the websites to your advantage and seek people out that are selling/buying what you have/want.
