Well said, that last sentence would also go through my mind any time there's a 'new' server around.

One look at a server that's been around for many years, like Shards of Dalaya, and everyone can tell exactly what having boxing allowed has done for that server....made it's population much lower than it should be! The general throught process of a typical boxer is, "why group or communicate with anyone else if I can do it by myself?" Even when they nerfed the raid count, maximum allowed per raid, you'd still have a few boxers doing the whole thing unless there was something real special to fighting the boss mobs, like those on the higher raid tiers of SoD.

It's quite unfortunate, but there's really nothing special about taking down the raid mobs from the classic/kunark era (I personally wish it was otherwise!) - or raiding itself for that matter, there's a ton of players who can validate that for you on P99. I'd love to see these so-called "top raiding guilds" on P99, try to take down the Dragons on Uthgard, the classic DAOC server (that's currently down,) using the same tactics they use to raid here. I'm sure there are plenty of other people who feel the same way about all this on these very forums!
