Should this server allow boxing of level 1 characters only?

[OfftuneRZ]

I would love to see this implemented, but unfortunately 90% of the population are in some sort of anti boxing klan and every time a thread is posted suggesting boxing they get all up in arms with their "not classic" bullshit. Guess what idiots? Boxing is definitely classic and happened all the time.

Boxing also required you spend money on the software/key codes, monthly subscriptions and enough on your computer(s) to handle that many characters. With technology today, and p99 having no fees associated with it, boxing would be a terribly horrible idea....
This is coming from someone who had 5 accounts running on 2 computers on live. I would fill my group with friends and guildees and have my army help from out of group. The difference is, on p99 you would see them monopolizing zones/camps/raid mobs....

Yeah but not EVERYONE boxed because people didnt want to pay $20, $30 or $40 a month.

When accounts are free... well, look at The Hidden Forest (people 12 box)

So put limits on it? I'm against boxing in general but that's not really an excuse otherwise. Boxing is classic, but people just need to accept that this isn't a strict 100% classic server. Especially given things like Chardok which were definitely NOT classic but are still allowed.

The vast majority of players had:
- 1 computer
- dialup/no broadband
- 1 phone line.

If you were boxing, you were an extreme minority.

Not in 2002, man. Almost everyone by then was off landline modems and had acomputer(s) that could run second account, either on their main computer and/or on their old computer. You are talking like 2-3 years, easily within the window that a lot of gamers completely upgrade their systems. Boxing was all over the place by th time SoV arrived. I even once joined a 4 person group and soon found out the whole team was being boxed by the player.... was actually pretty decent group, too.

Cool story. It is not allowed here, will never be allowed here, and shouldn't be allowed here.

You can blame or praise me for the no boxing rule. This same type of argument was prevalent before I released p99. At that time, I said if there was less than 50 people, I would consider allowing boxing. Else, it would detrimental to a real community forming. I believe I made the right choice.

Also.. Velious released in December 2000. Research the % of people at that time who had broadband connections. Take that same % and the % of people paying for Everquest accounts, and you will find a very small statistic.
