Did you not read what I wrote? There is no classic boxing possible on P99!
If the devs allow boxing, it won't be classic: there was not limitless free accounts in 1999, and you couldn't control multiple accounts from a computer the way you can now.
If they don't allow boxing, it won't be classic: there was no limit except your pocket book and how many computers you could physically control in classic.

This is true. Multiple computers (one game running per rig) multiple boxed copies purchased, monthly service fee for each one, multiple phone lines or upgrading and paying for early cable with a router. Then trying to multitask each character, pretty sad in a MMO. My roommate finally got a new computer in the middle of Kunark era. He put his cleric on the old computer and kept him looking at the wall while playing his rogue on the new one. Was it good? maybe, other guildmates wanted to join us but his cleric needed xp as well.
Pretty ridiculous walking into our computer room with 4 computers in it. Even the cable guy made a remark. Don't try explaining you spend X amount of money to play a video game past 30 years old...

TL/DR: Self regulating

I would argue the same thing, re: multiple chat windows
If the devs allow multiple chat windows, it wont be classic, because they weren't allowed back then
If they eliminate multiple chat windows, people will just be more likely to insist that others use Discord or other chat apps that weren't available back then, and that is definitely NOT classic. In my opinion, it is more true to the classic vision to allow multiple chat windows, so as to not encourage Discord or other chat app use. It is the same argument as in the boxing question. Feel free to disagree on the merits, but if you do so AND you call me out as a classic heretic or someone wanting a free ride/easy path to 60, I will respond in kind

I can't make others not use something like that but I would prefer not to. Single chat window works good enough. All of this organization to lockdown raid spawns. Then people complain about lockdown. Ill take a single chat, not batphone or other communication instead of instances.
