Besides being a terrible idea, this is a great idea. How would this fix anything?

Why is it a terrible idea? The only reason they don't allow dual boxing is because it eats up bandwidth and bandwidth costs money. This is basic math and by donating would cover the cost for bandwidth. It would keep it simple and this issue would not be policed so much.

You are wrong, the reason is because Nilbog says so. He wants to foster a community, wich obviously worked. If everyone was allowed to multibox here, do you realy think the population would be as high as it is now? Maybe, but not with real players, but 200 people 4+ boxing. Is has absolutely nothing to do with bandwith or server capacity.

Donations are called donations for a reason. They do not entitle you to anything, they do not make you "special". Donations are used to keep the server up and running, to pay for the monthy hosting fees and the hardware. All in all donations enable you to play here the way you do. It is a priviledge to work on this server, and it is a priviledge to play on this server. It is in no way a "birth right" for everyone.

I thought it was a bandwidth issue costing more money? It it just the fact to remain true to classic spirit of not having any unfair advantage? I thought that I read on the forums it was a bandwidth issue. Could you please explain then why is multi-boxing not allowed and is it worth all this trouble? I wasn't implying that a donation entitles you to anything. I was simply implying that if multi-boxing it costing the hosting more money, would be away around it is all.
