Its because EQ (Live) had a subscription fee for each account, which limited the amount of players who would actually own more than one account. On P99 accounts are free and thus if allowed everyone would be making 6 accounts and 2 - 6 boxing everything. The end result would be everyone playing by themselves and not with each other. The community would be horrible.
Edit: not to mention, if every worthwhile camp only took 1 physical person to camp (1 person playing 6 characters) everything would be perma camped. The game would be horrible.
