Are there any ways/things we can do so the admins know we are not boxing?

guys seriously this game is close to 20 years old. that being said, the fact your so worked up about something dumb like boxing is supremely retarded. honestly to even find some one that even wants play the game is amazing, i can't believe banning people because of suspected boxing is even something that happens. Then to read that the gm might come by and ask me to run in circles if my group mate is afk while im soloing monsters, just blows my mind. well im moving on again, it took me about an hour of playing the game and about 5 minutes of trying to log my wife in to the game and get an ip error to never want to play again. it makes me said that daybreak games let this place continue the sham that it is.

Buh bye now.

boy I am just SO happy, almost ecstatic that you decided to move on.

how disruptive it would be to your FREE classic-EQ experience to run in a circle for 5 seconds.

The tests administered by GM's... do they only get tested when the IPs are the same? I have some low level friends I was planning on PLing soon and I want to avoid any extra attention. My friends IPs are different than mine. Is there still concern for this? I mean someone could set up a VPN or SSL tunnel to mask obscure the IP addresses.

Not suspicious.

Cyrusdark - While your story doesn't sound as egregious as others, you weren't entirely "innocent" either. You PL'ing your friend while AFK "cooking" looks no different than playing two characters at once, you know what I mean? If you want to level with or PL your friend, be there, and play the character, or do your buffing/whatnot, and camp out. It's not that hard. If you already knew the rules and what they were looking for and how they would test you on the test you "passed poorly", why would you continue doing it and risk getting suspended, as you did?

He thought to himself "Hey I actually got away with 2 boxing" and decided he always would.

You're absolutely right that they couldn't tell the difference. My innocence on this specific event, however, isn't even a question. In the actual instance I had a character suspension, I wasn't boxing in any way. A cleric can't do much for a level 10 - its not an active power level. You throw Naltron+HB on them and walk away. I didn't camp because I enjoyed comin on back, reading chat periodically, and talking back. If I was boxing, I'd freely admit it - I've already been punished as if it was the case. Its not like some extra action is going to happen - I'd probably get a few pats on the back for 'coming clean.' Unfortunately, it was a legitimate situation the actual time a suspension hit me. I didn't read a 'no afking at the derv camp' in the rules originally. I see my mistake now, but it hsd to be deduced.

Look, I get that GMs have to do what they do. It may have upset me, but I understand they can't tell the difference. It ain't no thang. What I'm hoping to do is warn others that the tests make it risky to afk, to let younger kids play that may not be able to pass, and so forth. When you get a family IP exemption, you have to be exceptionally cautious and vigilant about camping, not afking even for short durations, and so forth.

This isn't a pity-me post. Its a 'hide yo wife, hide yo kids' kind of warning to others. You might just walk back to a 30-Day suspension or worse. I'm certain the GMs are aware that with strict measures, you will occasionally get your conclusion wrong. They continue it as a 'greater good' situation and I can't fault that. Just, be careful. I didn't know the extent at which I would need to camp, etc., originally. I just trying to relay some of what I've learned so others don't have an unfortunate experience.
