In my opinion two characters max isn't bad. Because it allows things like an extra hand when groups aren't possible (be it day worker who plays nights, or different timezones etc) and also allows for easy and safe item transfers etc without shared bank needing to be implemented (and can even exceed the size of shared bank) not to mention not having to choose between trading in EC or grinding xp/gear.

Beyond two toons however it gets to the point no one EVER would want to invite anyone else to a group and they become recluses. Having played PEQ and EZ I've seen this first hand. The thing with allowing a 2-box max, though, is it'd be kinda hard to enforce. I suppose no harder than allowing IP exemptions on a 1-toon only server but still...not permitting boxing at all is just an easier means and, in my opinion, the lesser of two evils.
I'm a fan of 2-boxing on low-pop servers like this one. Allows for people to experience more content without totally destroying the social atmosphere. Don't see a huge issue with it.

We can dream - unlikely to ever change given nothing major changes here.
