I think a Fundamental Flaw of P99 is to assume that somehow the "Old Ways" are the Best Ways. This is really just a Niche server. It will never been anything more than a small, broken, barely functional server that is trying to emulate an old game from more than 20 years ago. The majority of changes here are not even "Classic". Boxing is Classic Technically, but not allowed here.
This server sucks. Anyway, I'm honestly tired of arguing this point. No one here seems to offer a reasonable argument for why boxxing couldn't fix some issues here. Ultimately I'm just not having fun on this server anymore. I can't get a group consistently when I play, and even When I finally do atleast once every two weeks, the groups sucks ass. I assume this because they are boxxers in different servers, zones, and were powerleveled by a Vanquish Bard AFK, or RMT to get there account. Who the fuck knows.
In conclusion, I'm not having fun anymore. This server sucks balls. I'm gonna peace out and head for TAKP or Maybe TLP.

Have fun! Yesterday afternoon, however, I found a pick up group for my 26 Necro in like 5 minutes. It was a good time and the only reason I still hang around here. Wouldn't have been fun if it was just me driving 3-6 other characters. That's what Baldur's Gate is for.

Well obviously the "problem" is it's against the rules, so you've got the "haves" and the "have nots"

But this is just reason #9571 why Shards is better than Classic EQ

To the OP, what does it mean to make progress in this game? You state that a new player can't make progress, that is as you know objectively untrue except if you are comparing them to some measure that you haven't or haven't yet stated. So let's assume you're referring to make progress in comparison to, then the question is in comparison to whom. Let's take a leap and assume that you're questioning how a new player can compete with current players, given current players on average have at least 5 years on the server. And likely the players that you're referring to have literally over 10 years. So ultimately we'll agree that your statement is regarding newer players being unable to complete with people that have put in over 10 years of effort. Got it, great. So great, just the greatest

Just have new players /random 1000 and the winner gets an instant pickup group without having to put in any effort. Oh, wait a minute...

Why does everyone get so Upset about Multi-boxers? It seems like a perfectly reasonable solution to a Top heavy server.

So your solution to a "Top Heavy" server is to allow all these people to Box more characters. Do you this this would help the server?

only if you lead a vapid, vacuous empty existence outside of the game and only seek contact with sentient beings in avatar form.

I'll never understand you people that cry heresy unless behind each character there is only 1 human being.

do you really have to sit in your dark, dusty dank room, look at your group mates and think to yourself, "5 other real humans have accepted me in their group, i'm a valid human being!"

so sad

boxing is as classic as everquest gets, in 2001 i was boxing 2-8 accounts at any given time. back in that time, there was no MQ2, it was all alt-tab and my lightning reflexes.

maybe you all just lack the cranial processing power to manage multiple characters at once, you have to think fast, move fast, click fast. Be ultra-creative with macros.

but you all really just want to sit there, and stare at the same window, the same character, pressing the same 3 keys, over and over, hour after hour

TL;DR Playing only 1 account is fucking boring.
