Just responding to the 'boxing' comments about people way back in the day on Live.
I did. I had a second computer I built and I purchased a second copy of EQ, and I paid for a character transfer. That was in PoP days though.
If that's what boxing is, then ok. But what I did was NOT illegal at all and SoE at the time had NO issue with me and what I did. Why you ask? Because I talked to GMs in game about it on 2 occasions and according to them, I was not doing anything wrong.

I paid for 2 subscriptions. |
So, you used two separate computers, and that has always been allowed.
However for people using one box to play two accounts things weren't always so easy. This might have been fixed by the time PoP was out, but for a long time it was impossible to run two instances of the EQ client at once on the same machine. Or to be more accurate, it was impossible unless you used a 3rd-party program called WinEQ. And since any sort of 3rd-party program was technically banned, so was "boxing" two accounts on the same machine.
So "boxing" was both allowed and prohibited on live, depending on how many actual boxes you used.
