The proof is is the pudding, so to speak. P99 is THE most successful EQEMU server, ever.

And there's nothing really wrong with PEQ...except for the ability to attract new players...and I think boxing has a LOT to do with that.
I've also said once boxing is allowed, it becomes required in order to compete. MOTD: Bring your boxed "whatever" to the next raid, because we have more important things to worry about with the availability our live players.
This becomes even more true through Kunark and Velious, with the increased difficulty of encounters.
All in all, if it ain't broke...why fix it? The population continues to grow, we are nearing 1000+ at peak. I remember the days we were hollering at each other every time it broke 200. Which really wasn't all that long ago...six or seven months, maybe. When Kunark releases, I'll bet we more than double our current peak.

Just because this is the most popular server has more to do with, the fact of the content moreso than the fact that they disallow boxing. I came back to experience old school gaming, nothing more.
