And, as I remember...very much frowned upon by the community back then. Which, by the way, is what we're talking about. Stimulating and expanding our community. 2-boxing is inherently prohibitive regarding growth.

I remember many times in classic I went hours LFG. No server-wide chat..no LFG tool...you had to travel to the doggoned zone to see if people were there.

How can anyone concerned more with the future of the server argue for 2-boxing? Seriously? You think the first waves of us had an easy road? We networked, found like-minded people, and there ya go.

You may not do exactly what you want to do all the time, true. Work on tradeskills. Explore. Whatever.

Find all that content they say was never discovered in original EQ.

I dont think grouping is that horrid late at night. You just have to unite the players of similar level that are already on and get it going. I'm a warrior which is a pure group class and I have spent plenty of time LFGing on prime time only to get some of the best groups I've ever had 12-8am PST yeah crazy hours, but isn't that euro hours?

I've also had times when I log in, pop into my dungeon of choice and there is a solid group of 6 having fun and im the 7th man out, time to play an Alt. I think this can happen any time of day and with global OOC you can play your alt and watch and see if anyone needs your main character.

If I wanted the game to be easy I guess I'd be playing WoW or Xbox. I also would not mind shared bank for transfers. I think Dual boxing is bad for the game but being able to move items freely between alts would be very nice. That's a different subject and not classic at all, but oh so convenient.

Well...until we have a declining server population, and a general consensus for allowing boxers...it ain't happening.

Look at the servers where 2 boxing is allowed, they suck badly. They have half the peebs online than our server and half of them are 2,3,4,5,6 boxing. Thats just a joke. I hink the non boxing rule is one of the most important rules this server has, i play often at EU times and finding groups is not that bad, i dont see any problem with that...

Even if we had a population of 2000 peebs id still vote for a non boxing rule.

^ If you knew anything abou the "Guy with 19 post" Alawen is one of the servers top druids in Inglorious Bastards, hes not a random troll such as yourself.

You not knowing who Alawen is only points more to you knowing nothing of our server.

Thats correct, I'm new in the past week or so. Being new doesn't make me a troll, it just makes you simple minded.

I joined the server in January. I rolled up a monk. It took me exactly one day to remember that EverQuest is not a giveaway game where you do whatever you want and come out fine. There are some very harsh and time-consuming penalties for making poor choices.

A choice you can make is to do "/who all A B", replacing A and B with the level range you're looking for. Then send some tells and make some friends. Make a character near them or beg a sow and run your little dude to where the other players are and beg a bind. Words and phrases like "please" and "thank you" work wonders.

On my second day, I made a druid. Playing a naked melee in classic EQ as my first character was a more difficult scenario than I wanted to play out. Mad props to you guys who tough it out. Nothing but slops for you guys who insist on a hard path and then whine that it's too hard.

If your schedule dictates that you play alone, roll up a solo class.
