I do not think P2002 will ever restrict boxing beyond what we have right now. We believe 3 is a pretty good compromise. With the exp mechanics in place this size encourages picking up extra people in your group beyond those 3 boxes.
Hypothetically, if our size ever justified or made it necessary to change the rules, I am pretty sure we would opt for creation of a 2nd box before changing rules on our existing box
Nobody would argue that a guild of single boxers with 20 characters doesn't have a way higher ceiling than 7 people playing 3 characters each. Boxing characters on raids can be very cumbersome and often times detrimental. I guess what I am trying to say is, less is sometimes more.
I personally prefer to not box, I find the game way more relaxing and enjoyable and I am able to play my character on a whole other level, but I play a Bard so its easy for me to say, most classes don't have the potential to keep you as busy.
But that's just it, there are classes that are way too 1 dimensional to single box. Warrior and Rogue come to mind, Wizard is another prime example. Many of those classes also are very dependent on finding groups, while other classes can solo all the way to 65 and full AAs. The sad truth is, EQ just isn't a very balanced game, I think 3 boxing kind of serves as a great equalizer, while at the same time promoting the use of not so frequently picked classes that aren't very self sufficient on their own.
