I wasn't rich enough to have a "Hydra" like Scott Adams or to 6 box farm the fungi like Brock Pierce.
Yep, I'm saying you're a statistical anomaly when compared to the total amount of live eq players from 1999-2001. I boxed too, in velious, but never with an additional account I paid a monthly subscription for. It would be from a spare lan setup pc and a RL friend's account. What we have here is a collection of players comprising that 1% which would seek out and play a 12 year old emulated game. These people do not need to own 2+ pcs, the client allows for windowing, and no one pays a subscription fee.

My biggest problem with boxing, especially in pvp, is that boxing is not so much an option as a necessity. If someone can box, they *should* box, or be a great detriment to themselves.

To recreate a classic experience, the average player you encounter should be an individual, not a player with a robot in tow.
