Not ignored. You simply double-posted before I had a chance to reply to the first. However nothing really needs to be said anyways. The subject has been debated ten thousand times in the past and anyone with a semblance of intellect can comprehend the detriments to allowing 2-boxing, especially on a pvp server.

Here's a few for you:

The buff factor. People that choose to play the server as a single character will ALWAYS be at a disadvantage to those that choose to box simply because of the constant supply of buffs they will have available.

The lowbie griefing factor. As if the population wasn't bad enough, you'd like to kill it even further by allowing low to mid-level twinks the ability to box in oor healers whenever they want? Or the reverse. Level 50's that have their 30-something cleric alts constantly following them around.

The travel factor. We might as well throw in the PoKnowledge because everyone and their uncle will have a druid or wizard for ports, not only to make travelling around Norrath a trivial task, but also decreasing the value of people that play those classes as a main without boxing.

The group factor. Again, as if the population and player interaction wasn't bad enough, you want to make finding and creating groups even worse? Boxing promotes anti-social gaming behavior. Who the fuck wants to go risk grouping with some random to get a few yellows when you can hide with your box toon and do it alone safely?
