Boxing

[mitic]

imo, the 1 character rule is the reason why this server is so popular. with 600+ ppl online its not like we need boxes anyways.

boxing would make the server "easier" to play which would draw away my interest to play on it.

i know multiple people who have an ip exemption for there "little brother" or "spouse" who box.. weather these people play or are played by multiple people, ive seen and been bragged to that they can and do box. It happens more than you think... honestly remove all ip exmpetions 1 account per household, 90% of the exmpetions are boxed and bullshit lies. I could start rattling off names of accounts with exmpetions but they would say its for "someone else".

I'm sure there are abuses, but I believe your 90% statistic originates from your rectum.

Of course, anyone who knows me knows that I really do play EQ with my really for real spouse, and if there wasn't a way for us to both play, neither of us would.

I'm a huge fan of the no-boxing rule, and as others have stated, it's a big reason why this is the most popular EMU server by far. The devs have done a good job with the IP exemption system, and if you are really aware of people who abuse it and use it to box, you should make the admins aware of the abusers via the appropriate feedback mechanism instead of posting inflammatory, broad-sweeping allegations here.

Ditto. If my GF and I couldn't play together then neither of us would be playing.

And ditto. I think boxing was the ruin of the live game, more than any content decision made by the devs. What started out as a nice way to get some things done in a pinch really destroyed the game in so many ways. But don't point fingers at those of us who follow the rules as an example of those who don't. Boxing is cheating on this server, and if you are going to cheat, why would you go through the process of drawing attention to yourself by appealing for an exemption, when there are other ways around it? Get a clue before making blanket accusations simply because you feel like trolling on the forums.

Actually, I think a revamp on the IP Exemption system needs to be done. A lot of these people need their IP exemptions cut out.

Now back in the begining when Boxing was talked about there was what? 100 people on peak? Now we got 500+. If ya cant find a group its cause ya a bad player. I like grouping it gives me a chance to pick on people. However there are those times when i just want exp grind and no drama.

How about this ... It would be bad in our limited content to suddenly go from 500+ people on to 1000+ people on cause we all boxing. Think about it ... There be nothing left to down... Now when Kunark comes along there will be more content... So crowding should not be a issue. As it is NOW i am running to 2 or 3 zones now to find a good spot. I could not imagin finding a camp with 1000+ people on.

Live had 1000+ from day one. And even worse, most people were around the same levels.

So it could be a LOT worse.

I've had no problem finding stuff to do even during peak hours with 600+ on.

haha this is true. i remember unrest soon after launch, there were 100+ people a lot of nights. 80 people meant you were rolling in the experience! no wonder it took so long to get to 20 back then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't like to group. You find plenty of bad players in groups.
