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

Let me first state that I really do enjoy this server, I feel it is one of the last bastions for what MMORPG's used to be. I am thankful to all those who put the work in make it all possible.

I personally wouldn't mind a max of two boxing. Back in the day, I was fortunate enough to have a household with 2 comps/phone lines capable of playing EQ with. I would play shaman/cleric and join groups all the time, worked very well.

I've been on servers where people multi box and use MQ2 to get toons to do all sorts of automated crap. THAT is the real problem behind boxing imo and perhaps could be the real cause for disdain towards the whole situation. However the dev team does know how to find MQ2 users so any fear of that being a possibility, even with boxing limited to 2 max, can be avoided. I find it hard to believe that a person with control of just two characters instead of one would cause such havoc.

I theorize that allowing 2 boxing would allow the leveling base to spread itself out a bit more. More groups, more zones seen while progressing up. I can of course see scenarios of power leveling, duoing teams, but frankly if the ability to be power leveled by their own high level toon is the motivation it takes for a player to create a low level toon, they most likely would not have had that toon there to group with you anyway.

As for people complaining about camps locked down 24/7, they are already, and one of the hottest commodities, Fungi Tunic, is already able to be farmed solo. A point must also be made that this world is very vast, and the population is still rather small. Even on high traffic times there are zones with plenty camps to be had that are vacant.

And of course, even if it was allowed on the server not everyone will two box. Groups will still be formed, perhaps more of the lesser filled roles healer/tank will be filled more easily.
