New map desktop app coming soon (as long as it's still kosher with p99 rules)

I think boxing limitations have more to do with hardware and resources and the complete lack of barrier to entry (to 6 box) as was present back in the day.

If you figure half the population would 6 box (if allowed) you'd see the server population balloon from ~1000 a night to at least ~4000 a night (then more if the remaining 500 non six boxers just boxed a single extra toon).

Boxing would be something that was allowed back in the day, but has special caveats here (whether hardware related, or to simulate the classic feel, or just to distinguish the server from all the other emu servers where people run around with 6 on auto follow).

Whether you like it or not, this app is no different than a damage parser or the auction tracker, they both read the /log file and do something with the available data outside of the game.

Also in game maps being disabled has more to do with disabling bigger cheat programs that hook into the in game maps than what is/isn't classic (if I had to guess).

Red people against this likely don't use my auction tracker (unless also playing on blue), but I wonder how many bluebies against the map program happily look for items on the auction tracker despite it being "not classic"?
