I personally haven't been active on SoD in over 6 years now, I just logged in several days ago to check my bags and bank, and to see if I'd bump into anyone I know. Within 20min of being logged on, I started a conversation with a Warrior who then invited me to a pickup Raid he was starting in Plane of Agony (Torment on live.) It was some good fun, although took me a while to get used to the interface and mechanics, as well as all the new spells they introduced or modified, I met several other players on that raid who extended and invitation to their actual raid guilds, after the pickup raid was over.
Yes, people have the option to box 1 other account, if you attempt to box 3+ accounts you'll get banned, its as simple as that. I don't think it's very fair to judge a server's current environment based on bad experiences of the past, we all had them, whether it was EQLive or P99 or Red99, or any of the other servers on EQEMU.
I personally do not box unless the situation calls for it, just because the option is there it doesn't mean every single player does it, and it's silly to think that way without actually playing there to see for yourself what it's all about.
The server has changed a lot over the years and it doesn't just cater to hard-core Raid guilds like it used to. There is a lot of new content in general available for single groups, many new Tomes (a unique progression system beyond AAs they've developed,) and I'm just looking for some people to explore all the new content together with, that's basically the point of this post.
