Please Change the Two Boxing Rule

[Pico]

I don't disagree with you Masque but chill the fuck out.

[astuce999]

People who want to 2box but also want p99 already
have an option that most seem to not ever use;

p99 kunark beta.

If you want to 2box it's because you don't like making groups and want to
only rely on yourself. kunark beta is usually pretty empty so not only
are you allowed to 2box, you can hold as many camps as you want.

oh, and there's also kunark on it!

Some party poopers might say stuff like "kunark's coming out in a month and then the beta server will be wiped".

Well, first of all, the march 25th date is a tentative date, and I honestly
think it was a bit ambitious considering how much work is left to be done.

Secondly, when kunark comes out on regular p99, why would that
absolutely mean that the beta server has to come down? There's
still gonna be a lot of code to test and the beta server
will still have its raison d'être.

Thirdly, you'd be really helping out because there really needs to be a
lot more people testing and submitting stuff if we want a polished
product to come out.

So instead of being an outcast for wanting to 2box, be a hero! play on the kunark beta server and help the community!

cheers!

You bring up an interesting point, a second project 1999 w/allowed boxing, would be interesting, but I wouldnt ask that of the devs, they put in so much work on 1 server. Anyhow back to the grind! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just think that people don't want to play on the beta, because they won't keep their progress and all their "work" will be gone.

listen up you two clowns.

1) the majority of this server doesn't want boxing.
2) the devs don't want boxing and have said it will never happen.

I love how the OP says "I hope people are open minded enough to listen to my point of view AND CHANGE THE RULE". So in order to be open minded we have to change the rule to that which only a minority want?
How about you be open minded and deal with it, asshole, because you are in the minority and we do NOT agree with you.

Also the argument that people boxed in 1999 is not a solid argument because very few people did it then, but if the option were open today, many more people would do it because it doesnt cost extra $ and computers are better. Also people who don't even want to box would get into the "keeping up with the Jones's" mentality, and be forced to box to be on a level playing field.

But why am I even making arguments, you will never get your way, so just stop whining about it and shitting up the boards.

The majority of the devs support the no boxing rule, not all.

The majority of the people that are active the on boards support the no boxing rule.

The most vocal people on the boards are very anti-boxing.

Is it going to change? Probably not this week.

If you are boxing, not playing the end game raider, etc., then servers like EZ server are great. There are several out there with plenty of content that are worth playing on, if you are very casual. Try them out. They are worth it. If they aren't up to what you are looking for, then start helping out improving the servers, quests, code, whatever it takes.

Good luck. If the rules aren't to your liking, to what you want, then you can always start your own server. It is a lot of work though. And in no time, you will not be interesting in playing on the server anymore probably.

No matter how loud you shout at the wind. It will not stop blowing.

The main arguments against 2boxing are that it will prevent people from grouping, it will exacerbate camping problems, and it will reduce the community / player interaction.

Your arguments in favor of 2boxing are that it will allow you to not group, will allow you to solo stuff you normally wouldn't be able to, and will keep you from having to interact with other players to advance...

Your reasons for supporting 2boxing are the exact same reasons it isn't allowed in the first place.
