Id just like to know from which classic handbook you pulled out the no boxing thing? imho boxing is way more classic than p99 ever will be.

Unless you had multiple computers (most didn't) and a high speed internet connection (not dial up - again, most of us didn't) - boxing wasn't really possible in early EQ.
Classic or otherwise, boxing is arguably a detriment to the community. Again, this is a problem on live servers as over time it causes the community to drift further and further apart. This is my opinion ... but I've seen and experienced it first hand. I started 2boxing out of convenience in OoW (I played a warrior and having a cleric box meant I could always start a group rather than waiting on a healer). Over the years, more and more people started boxing. It started with 2, then 3 ... then ...
With the ISOboxer program (not against SOE EULA) - I've 4, 5 and 6 boxed with great success. But the game became a single player game.
This is their server and their rule set. My opinion is the no boxing rule, while low hanging fruit for complainers, is actually good for the community. It cuts down on the PLing of oneself and encourages actual grouping.
