I never heard of or new any players on Bristlebane that boxed more than 2. Never heard of 3+ Box and you are starting to miss the point of an MMORPG, which I agree the time and feel of it is gone and can't be recaptured no matter if its 1 box or 20.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] So as it turns out I played on Bristlebane, and I did (rarely) triple box.
I say rarely because between EQ's memory usage (and natural flakiness), and then EQW's added memory usage, running three instances was ... sub-optimal, to put it mildly.
So I didn't do it often or for very long, but there were occasionally times when I did. Plus those friends I mentioned, the ones who played at a cyber cafe (well gaming center, but same difference) also played on Bristlebane. They were like half of Club Fu, if you remember that guild, and at times they would "triple-box" (although it was more of a casual "keep your friend's characters going while he goes to the bathroom" thing than a "run an optimized trio of characters together at once" thing).
But I think the fact that you never even heard of it just reinforces how rare it was.
