This server is very amazing and yet very disappointing at the same time

Every other server ever allows for multi boxing.

What is with the insistence by these scummy two boxers to two box on the ONE server that does not allow it?
They do not make sense.

Ignoring the fact that, at the very least, I didn't insist in any way, ignoring the fact you're calling people 'scummy' for no real reason, and ignoring the fact that you seem to have a very large stick in or around your ass in regards to this topic due to your incessant need to be a dick in every post regarding boxing or the possibility of boxing (such as your unnecessary use of the term 'fag' in the second post), your post STILL makes no sense (ironically). This is because, while there may be other servers that allow boxing, there is no CLASSIC servers that do. People playing Project 1999 want to play Classic Everquest. Thus, your point is moot.

Clearly someone is very confused.

I'd also like to point out the irony of someone saying that the term "Fag" is unnecessary and immature when they are constantly swearing.

In my opinion two characters max isn't bad. Because it allows things like an extra hand when groups aren't possible (be it day worker who plays nights, or different timezones etc) and also allows for easy and safe item transfers etc without shared bank needing to be implemented (and can even exceed the size of shared bank) not to mention not having to choose between trading in EC or grinding xp/gear.

Beyond two toons however it gets to the point no one EVER would want to invite anyone else to a group and they become recluses. Having played PEQ and EZ I've seen this first hand. The thing with allowing a 2-box max, though, is it'd be kinda hard to enforce. I suppose no harder than allowing IP exemptions on a 1-toon only server but still...not permitting boxing at all is just an easier means and, in my opinion, the lesser of two evils.

i do get the ideal you are trying to make, but i have to say its that fact for people having to pick & choose what to do that helps others out. like you say grinding or selling, since you can't do both many are willing to haggle down so they can return to grinding which helps stop overpricing items abit, not alot but enough to make it feel like its worth something to new players to save pp up. this is just what i see with the benefit of not having the ability to two box. o as well as people not grinding faction anymore or being social with others when needing food/water or money exchange needs in some cases your main never needing to go to town & always having a toon in every town ready to do business for you. i can just see the flaws in a boxing aspect, but i do agree it would be very nice to be able to transfer for yourself & as well as for those whom don't get on at those golden hours [You must be logged in to view images.

so please don't feel as if i am trying to flame or disregard your point, just stating my point of view from a guy new to the server

I think the consensus among this player base is going to be very anti-boxing. I know it existed as a dark secret in the early days of EverQuest, but from Classic to Velious I never once encountered someone with more than a single account either in-game or out. Not once. After that, with the rise of broadband it started to become more commonplace. But in keeping with the theme of this server, the 'feel' wouldn't be right if everywhere you went there was one or two players running an entire group with boxed accounts. Because as it's been mentioned, without the limitations of hardware, connection speed, or subscriptions...99% of us would have multiple accounts. Some because they prefer to take advantage of it, and others because they'd feel the need to keep up with the first group.

So yes, boxing would make your playing time easier. But I don't believe easy is what you were looking for, nor will you find, with a classic EverQuest server. An emulated WoW server sure, but this game is about the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to get anywhere. And that's part of the magic that 13 years later brings us all back. Missing a game where every level felt important rather than the level cap, and the content you saw and items you earned mattered rather than being replaced every five levels.

I don't know about you guys, but back in '99 it was cool to meet someone else who plays and proudly tell them "Yeah I play a 31 ranger" and not feel ashamed that you hadn't conquered the entire game. Nowadays, if I were to run into someone who told me his World of Warcraft mage was level 43, my response would be "Uhhh...85 or who cares? You can get max level in a few weeks..." The genre has changed, and not really for the better.

Heh... so much for the "mature" community this server tries to portray...

Allowing 2 boxing is probably the most detrimental thing I can think of for a medium population server like this. I don't need to explain why, everyone else did, and if you don't see why then you're an idiot. I agree with the first response pretty much.

Exactly how I feel. I just got SBS on my Paladin and it was more satisfying than any piece of uber raid gear I won the roll for on WoW. This game gives you constant anxiety about what could/will go wrong and I love it. I would love a modern MMO that captured the spirit of launch-velious EQ.

Try playing on an unusual time zone.
Most of the time there won't be any grouping option.

It's either play a solo class or not at all.
