You can blame or praise me for the no boxing rule. This same type of argument was prevalent before I released p99. At that time, I said if there was less than 50 people, I would consider allowing boxing. Else, it would detrimental to a real community forming. I believe I made the right choice.
Also.. Velious released in December 2000. Research the % of people at that time who had broadband connections. Take that same % and the % of people paying for Everquest accounts, and you will find a very small statistic.

But that would be a misleading if not completely irrelevant statistic. EQ players that got on that boat originally were/are not a randomly select group of people. They would be statistical outliers on numerous fronts. And why look at SoV release date instead of a more realistic date that this server is trying to emulate(2002).
In a general sense I like the no boxing rule, but I fail to see the issue on level 1 characters only. The fact you see such incredibly bizarre pushback on such a minor change on here is pretty clear evidence you have a lot of people gaming the system already(they already multi account) and they just want to remain special snowflakes. <--- thats a hell of a lot bigger problem than simply allowing level 1's to be boxed.
