Maybe try to make your own group? Doesn't always work but usualy does.

I know all the suggestions, etc.

Personally, honestly; not comfortable with forming my own group.

I just wish I could solve the mystery of logging in 2-3 times daily (different times of the day), advertising LFG for 30~ min each subsequent login attempt without a single whisper.

Funny enough, its the reason I gave up on my druid, no groups ever and I didn't want to kite exp all day, I have a 11 warrior and cleric that are on the burner right now but a warrior is garbage unless you have a nest egg to support it (my mage)

I've made 2500 plat because of the severe lack of grouping and being forced to kill mobs solo on my mage.

Yes mage is a solo class, but I ENJOY grouping. I just can't find any as soon as I got past level 20ish.

I boxed on live for 7 years, and when I was 2 boxing I would allways bring along people with me, but I had a tank and a cleric and everything else was just extra. on this server, it seems that the 2 big things that make the groups go are the tanks and healers, which allmost every combo of 2 boxing only will consist of.

So, I vote for 2 boxing only! that way there is still room for people to group with them, and hopefully the kindness of the server will invite people to the boxing groups for exp.

p.s. boxing was part of "classic", more so once kunark was out

QFT. This is an excellent point. We will all be more spread out when Kunark comes out whether it was released tomorrow or in october. Hopefuly the server just keeps getting bigger. I joined a progression server when Kunark was already out. It sucked.

No. Easy no. This server is great without people boxing. Even if you let someone 2box, and you have an extension you potentially have 4boxes. No. Lol.

How about a complex response?

I think the no multi-box rule should stay. Ideally, it should help people get in groups.

However, I think having to ask for permission to allow multiple connections from a single IP is a bit extreme, as well as not being able to take control of a second character for a short period of time. (For example, brother playing character, emergency has to get away from computer for a minute, I take control for a minute and take his character to safety while I'm in a group somewhere else.)

I can understand where the restriction comes into play. It is much easier to keep out boxers by implementing the ip restriction then to spend the day responding to boxers getting reported and then banned.

As for playing for your brother for a min, I can't see that being a problem.
I can't say this for sure but the GM's would be watching you for more then a min, and if you are duo boxing it is really easy to pick you out of the crowd compared to someone who is just running their g/f away from a kos mob or moving them up with the group while they get them some pie >.0.

But this is just my opinion and I only have it because I am killing time before work ends and EQ begins.

According to the GMs, it is a problem. They said in no uncertain terms (in the private petition forum) to me that one player one account, no accepts, no excuses. Playing another account other than your own for even a minute is a bannable offense.

My question was in regards to logging on my friends character to give him gear i had for him, the answer was absolutely not.

2 box maximum in my opinion


but so far it seems to go pretty well without any boxing

[Tristin]

There server that I played off and on for almost two years had a max population of about 100 at peak hours. So we pretty much had to box all the time. I miss two boxing for a couple simple reason.

I boxed a Ranger and a Druid, not the greatest combo there ever was but still having those two classes came in handy in several differnt situations. I was able to buff/heal/port myself and I didnt have to rely on other people. I know that EQ is a communal effort game but there were times when I was glad I didnt have to bumb a ride from a guild mate and things like that.

I was able to do a lot of thing alone. I could camp gear, do quests, and exp on my own. Again I realize the differnt classes were made so we would pretty much have to depend on each other but at times its nice to just do your own thing, especially if you are just a casual player and only have about an hour to play a couple times a week. I wont deny as proactive as I am about it, its hard to find groups sometimes.

If two boxing is aloud on this server eventually will I take advantage of it? Yes.

If things stay the way they are will I continue to enjoy myself and be thankful for everyone who makes playing here possible? Yes.

Do I think two boxing will hurt the server? No.
