Ever a chance of allowing double boxing?

Like I said, expand this scenario to not just one group, but across the server.

Like many others have said it leads to ever increasing rates of smaller percentages of actual players taking a higher percentage of camps / drops.

Lets expand it across the server. Just how many people do you honestly think are going to 2 box? 5%? 10%?

Thats why I'm saying the issue is being overstated.

Is that what happened to PEQ?

On a free server with modern pc's and modern connections ?

Probably 50%, if not more. If left unchecked, those two-boxing quickly become a dominant force and make life difficult for those who'd rather single-box, thus making that percentage higher.

Two-boxing in everquest has always been limited. The only implementation that works is a limited implementation.

If I could multi box I would be running a mini raid force right now.

But if that were the case I'd just go on another server and deathtouch every mob or summon whatever item I want and call it a day, because I'd be missing out on playing in an actual living community. The limitations set in place here don't let me go hog wild and I'm thankful for it.

It's never going to be about, "I just want to be able to xp when no one is on!" because it doesn't stop there with multiboxing. It never will. It turns into farming items into the ground (see: manastone, rubi BP).

There are many nights that go by that I can't get a group in primetime yet I don't get upset that I cannot multibox - I just go do other stuff in or out of game. Hell you can go create a group WITH REAL PEOPLE to go do something monumentally more interesting than sitting in solA/solB/uguk/lguk all day, anyway.

Make the game fun by interacting with other people, not sitting alone at your desk.
