Unfortunately, EU players have had to live with this for so long. If circumstances are right for US players, it must be right always, and little regard is given to anyone outside of that point of view. It was the same thing on Live - how long was it before we actually got a EU server? And when we did, we got one or two at the most. Even if the online tally is 2-300 while you play, and even if you can easily get groups, just try to see things from more perspectives than your own. At the risk of sounding anti-American: You're not the only person in the world, and despite what may be a common sentiment, people outside your nation and timezone are not unimportant, and their case should not be blatantly disregarded just because it does not affect your personal situation. Unfortunately, that plea has always been utterly and completely ignored.

Im outta here along with the other 20ish people that came along if boxing comes into play, and im sure a lot of the community will do the same.
It is this kind of vulgar selfishness that poses the greatest risk to any community. Why do people have to be so intolerant?

No intelligent person could possibly argue against the fact that disallowing boxing has an infinitely greater impact on those who want to box than allowing it has on those who do not want to. But then, EQEmu communities tend not to be hindered by such burdens as compassion and rational thinking.

Goodbye and good luck. Nilbog, good job with the server, it is a great product in its own right, even if you cater primarily to the types of players who force you to disable communication channels, and perform DDoS attacks on your server. I suspect that too many of the VZTZ crowd made their way here.
