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.

This server would be absolutely ruined if multiboxing was allowed, camps are crowded enough as is. But dont ever think that the subscription fee dissuaded anyone from having 6 accounts. Live servers and their increasing subscription fees never stopped most players. The people who could not afford an entire bot farm could always just snag their friends toon when they were at work/school/speed induced sleep coma's anyway.
The real issue lied in macroquest or whatever, when people would code up an entire party of bots to follow them and react accordingly. That was both quite impressive and socially pathetic all in one!
