I am still not convinced that just because boxing is allowed that people will. Many say this but nobody offers examples. Are there specific games or periods in those games that it was demonstrated that huge groups of people will box if allowed to? By no means do I have extensive knowledge or experience on the subject and would appreciate more specifics to back up the generalities.
Especially on a server like P99, where so many including myself enjoy the community spirit of grouping, I do not know that it would be a problem.
On live I played a cleric with a good reputation and could always find a group within minutes of logging in. I knew folks though who would sit for two or more hours practically begging for a group. I knew other folks who would two box while looking for a group instead and stop boxing as soon as a group was available. I have never known anyone who would say they don't want a group and would rather box. Those folks who wanted to play alone would play a class that could solo.

Shards of Dalaya, a classic-inspired server, nearly everyone has a box.
Two-boxing is an outright advantage, and once some people elect to use that advantage, that puts the uninvolved at a disadvantage comparatively on the server.
When PoP was released and PoK was only available if you bought the expansion, everyone did even if they were pre-46, because they didn't want to be at a disadvantage.
The people that want two boxing on this server fall into two groups.
Those that have drank the koolaid of MMORPGs in the past 10 years and just want their frosting bucket and those that have been max level on P99 for too long and can't see any satisfaction in the game short of hording more money or 60 alts.
