EQ Live is pretty much ruined because of boxing.
if you don't box, you can barely exp if your not a solo class. because everyone else is boxing and not interested in grouping. they can just invis to a camp with their pocket shm or whatever it is they are carrying around and exp/camp there.
Specially now with merc, 2 box ends up having a tank and a cleric merc. So, if you are playing a dps and a shm, it's uber easy to take any camp.
Of course, EQ Live want you to box so you give em more money.
Here it's different, and it's why it's so nice. you can group, you can get camps... you can play the game instead of logging on and going lfg for hours thinking it sucks and you can't do anything.
try making a noob rogue or something on live, see how fast you can catch up to the average player now. with like 85 levels and 2000+ aa's...
ramp up will be at least a year if not more.
trying to get up to par on gear when you can't camp it solo and can't get a group makes it impossible.
this should give you an idea of how things eventually degenerate when multi boxing is allowed.
Of course here, the world is much smaller, we aren't 234234 expansions in. so it would be much worst, as getting camps would be simply impossible.
