I don't know how I feel about this. Boxing on red99 is gonna be a huge advantage because you can just go to some obscure place nobody thinks of looking at and level up in peace which you can't really do with any solo class. You'd have such an easy time leveling a rogue or warrior up with a healer box while others would have a horrible time doing it the legit way. We all know half of these "wives" are just people who know how to 2-box without it being noticeable, and the other half are legit girlfriends who know fuck-all about the game and just hit the heal hotkey when the man says so because she's happy just being allowed to sit nearby while he's gaming.
At the very least, require new applications for IP exemption. I reckon most people who tried to get their wife to play EQ a year ago are now divorced and still use that second box because they can. At least the first couple of weeks will be legit then, since getting an IP petition reviewed takes forever.
