You should leave opinions out of any argument you intend to be taken seriously. Whether or not any given expac ruined the game is an opinion. Whether or not boxing itself ruined the game is also an opinion. However, that being said, you are still right. There is not a second version of P99, or any other server, that is Classic and also permits boxing. If you want Classic you have to come here. But you can't box here. People play here, obviously, because they want Classic EQ. I have never heard anyone say "Yeah let's go to Project 1999 so we can finally get level 95 and play Veil of Alaris content!". However, there is no boxing-friendly Classic EQ alternative. So anyone who wants Classic is stuck making the decision of which they want more, Classic EQ or the ability to box. Just like anyone that wants modern/closer to modern EQ has to make the polar opposite decision of what they want more, modern EQ or a server that prohibits boxing.

In the end, the staff of any given server, be it Sony, Rogean, Cavedude etc, has the final say in what they want on their server and boxing is included in that. Since you shouldn't expect them to make a second server, one for boxing and one without it, just to satiate your needs (It'd be pointless anyway, most of the players would play the boxing enabled server just for convenience-sake whether they box themselves or not.) you're left to make the decision of what you want more. Classic EQ? Or the ability to box 2+ characters? People should thoroughly think that over before starting to play on P99, because the server's rules aren't going to change just for you.

I don't understand why you put in what I put in bold right there. This is a 2-boxing thread on a classic server. What I had said is clearly not an opinion it's a fact or people wouldn't 2-box here at all.

2 boxing is not the answer.

People will be 4 boxing and have camps locked down single-handedly. Some people have no life and have many accounts waiting for boxing to be allowed. People will group with themselves and will not be grouping with you. Not allowing 2 boxing is genius. This slow down is due to several newer games being released and summer, nothing more. These new games will get boring and people will be back. The naysayers are people who do not like people who succeed like Rogean or people who banned their friends. These same people are obviously used to getting what they want and not getting it makes them cry so they darken the forums with their QQing angst that is getting really old and predictable.

It's the people that make the server not the pixels. These guys have systematically taken out the bad elements in favor of classic EQ. I come here for the classic experience. In 1999 ther was not alot of 2 boxing going on. Graphic intensive online gaming was fairly new, modems and bandwidth were not as they are today, either was paying a monthly fee. It was all ground-breaking for the most part. Most 2 boxing did not occur until people with high level characters began to move on and RMT for plat had been realized. I myself left and came back to live several times.

Get over yourselves and either choose to play the game or not.
