This thread has been quite entertaining I must say. So many opinions about opinions on opinions.
My suggestion to the people eagerly awaiting IP exemptions is to circumvent the rules but not break them. Look into things like proxies, masks, or learn to configure your own router and/or contact your ISP to set your own i.p. address. Its a lot faster than waiting for an exemption and you learn something in the process.
Do not use the above to 2 box however. Sure you can 2 box using my suggestions and have your characters deleted then change your i.p. and start over and have them deleted again. The best part is you probably won't be caught 2 boxing immediately instead you'll lose that level 50 character you've sank a month or more into. Then you'll quit or play the game by the rules.
Same goes for the MacroQuest and ShowEQ users. Don't do it.
The one thing I wish they did enforce, which in my opinion is worse than 2 boxing and its just that an opinion, is the naming policy. I've seen so many offensive, ridiculous, immersion breaking names on the server it makes my head spin. SexyWoodElf, TitsMcgee, Tukda Lootfromya and his alt Tucda Lootfromya, I mean seriously? This doesn't even scratch the surface. I didn't even go into the racist names.
All in all, what I've gathered is that P99 needs more administration. More active GMs would cut down on a lot of the issues not being enforced (bad names, training on purpose, 2 boxing cause it does still happen)
Well I'm all done now, Have a good morning everyone! :]
