Is this allowed on server?

Curious, as I'm new here and I heard boxing isn't tolerated. What about a bard swarm kiting, who obviously has parked his alt nearby to soak xp while he swarms? (alt hasn't moved an inch in 4-5 hours now, so it's obvious what's happening)

Is that allowed here, or nah?

If he's boxing then that's bannable.

If he's not boxing, then it's against the rules if the other character is fully AFK. If someone is available to interact on the character, then it's not against the rules it's just PLing essentially.

What I would do in this situation is petition. The staff will usually investigate and attempt to communicate with the other character. If the other character doesn't communicate, the staff may suspend both (not sure if they would outright ban the first time for this). In addition, if the staff suspects there may be boxing going on they will subject both characters to the boxing test...if they fail the test then they will be banned.

Btw, many people have offered "AFK levelling services" using bards - where the bard will swarm kite repeatedly so that the other character can gain experience.

I don't bard, but I have done similar AFK powerlevelling on my necro or enchanter -- the difference being I always make sure there is a person at the other end of the other toon.

Again, though... It's an argument with murky waters. If you're not allowed to be completely AFK while someone else earns you experience in group -- then you should also be disallowed to leave up a stream and leave your PC for hours at a time while tracking a raid mob, like Venril Sathir or Sleeper's Tomb golems.

To be honest, I think the more the common exploits of modern p99 players are struck down, the better. Bard swarming while AFK person soaks exp is definitely one of them.
