In other words, if Project 1999 allowed two-boxing it would be exactly as common as the game warrants it, no more and no less.

Untrue - I am happy to not two box right now, but if it was allowed, enough people on the server would be doing it(and getting a leg up) that I would have to also.. Or just not play on this server.

Addendum:
Before you step up to dispute the proposition of two-boxing, take a moment to consider a few things. Do you disagree because of some personal perception of how the game should be? In past experience, has boxing proved to be such an obstacle to your enjoyment of a server that you would disallow at the expense of the players to whom it is a necessity?

Yes, actually. On PEQ my buddy and I ended up quitting around the time we got to Sebilis because of pathing issues (which are prevalent on every EMU server in dungeons like that) as it was nearly impossible to get through it using multi box characters, and since everyone multi box'd, no one was around to join our group leaving us with a 4 man team heading through Sebilis. One person playing one character is better than one person playing two characters, no matter how "bad ass" you think you are.

Is your personal preference more impotant than those players whose gameplay is compromised by this rule? There are some, like me, who do not play on this server because two-boxing is not allowed. Is that better than the alternative?

This could be said the same way back to you, is your personal preference more important than those whose gameplay is compromised by this rule? Because I for one would likely not play on this server if it was overrun by two boxers. The alternative so far is over 300 unique people playing on a server at the same time, better than any other EQ EMU server.

Someone (Tantalar) once said that two-boxing players were infringing on his gameplay. I say that there can be no greater infringement than excluding potential players, or compromising the gameplay of existing players, by disallowing them the means that make the game playable for them.

Are you really arguing that the game is "unplayable" because you can't play two chars at once? That's a laughable argument at best.

His statement may have been valid if we were discussing whether or not to place an epic weapon vending machine in each city for those who couldn't bother doing the quest, but since boxing was entirely possible and not that uncommon on Live, and has been a staple feature and proven necessity throughout EQEmu history, I would argue that a different reasoning is necessary.

Has it proven necessary through EQ EMU history? Because It looks to me like this server proves otherwise.



Enjoy playing on PEQ with 10 people playing 5 chars each.



*EDIT* Just to add, I am not opposed to EVENTUALLY adding two boxxing. But at this point in the server, it seems NOWHERE close to necessary. I can understand if many months down the road players level 1-40 are so sparse its impossible to find a group, but at our current state, not necessary, at all.
