Default It's not classic...

I didn't notice anyone mention this so I will, PC's back in 1999 (when I started playing) were not capable of running multiple instances of EQ at the same time for a few reasons. They just weren't fast enough for one thing and secondly you couldn't even run EQ in windowed mode because it would CTD. I had popups from viruses crashing EQ constantly which was rampant back in '99. On top of that most (if not all of us) were playing over a dial-up connection that couldn't handle the load of boxing. I would get kicked off the internet if someone made a call to my house phone. My point is boxing ruins an EQ server and it definitely is not classic.
