Do I care about Boxing? Nope, was classic.
ANY chance of allowing a SINGLE 2 box anytime soon? I did in fact 5 box before and I paid for those accounts, so no one cared, but here I understand the difference, but I LOVE PLing my chars. It was part of the fun when I hit max level.

I dont even know the reasons this was originally prohibited since I just joined recently.

Thanks

Have you played on Live in the last few years? Or even on Mac (RIP) or other servers with boxing.
There is hardly any interaction between players because everyone just boxes themselves, it's like playing a single player game online. It really messes up communities.

And if you think fighting over mobs/loot is bad now, wait until there's boxing then there will be at least 2x the people fighting over the loot because now you only need half the players to lock a spawn down (if you have 2-3 people 2-3 boxing, rather than 6 actual people in one group, for example).

Answer is no. Its always no.

I remember putting in my 2nd phone line in 99 so I could get on with two 56k dialups.

I did the same. Paid for two phone lines. Worked at the ISP so got the dial ups for free.

I had two 56k's in my laptop and could dial them both in for double bandwidth. Thing was crazy looking with two phone lines, one on each side. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Phones weren't cheap back then. It was like $45 per phone line, then $20 for each dialup.

It will be heavily abused, especially since you can create accounts for free. No boxing keeps the group element intact.

I boxed a warrior and shaman on live, but not boxing here is fine by me
