Consider Project 2002

[apio]

I do not think P2002 will ever restrict boxing beyond what we have right now. We believe 3 is a pretty good compromise. With the exp mechanics in place this size encourages picking up extra people in your group beyond those 3 boxes.

Hypothetically, if our size ever justified or made it necessary to change the rules, I am pretty sure we would opt for creation of a 2nd box before changing rules on our existing box

Nobody would argue that a guild of single boxers with 20 characters doesn't have a way higher ceiling than 7 people playing 3 characters each. Boxing characters on raids can be very cumbersome and often times detrimental. I guess what I am trying to say is, less is sometimes more.

I personally prefer to not box, I find the game way more relaxing and enjoyable and I am able to play my character on a whole other level, but I play a Bard so its easy for me to say, most classes don't have the potential to keep you as busy.

But that's just it, there are classes that are way too 1 dimensional to single box. Warrior and Rogue come to mind, Wizard is another prime example. Many of those classes also are very dependent on finding groups, while other classes can solo all the way to 65 and full AAs. The sad truth is, EQ just isn't a very balanced game, I think 3 boxing kind of serves as a great equalizer, while at the same time promoting the use of not so frequently picked classes that aren't very self sufficient on their own.

One things for sure, I love my gnome warrior here wayyyy too much to just switch. But maybe I'll give it a go with a shaman/shadow knight combo tonight. And although I hate PoK, it won't be hard to get a barb and a gnome to the same starting area... We'll see.

im not sure how to install with macs. ive got zero experience using them :/ i'm sure someone can tell you though. if youve got a forum account you should look through/post in the technical help forum if no one here gives you an answer

I figured it out! Let's see, what to roll. I'm thinking a rogue, honestly.

Once you have a forum account you need a game account, once created you can use those login infos to create a starting script like it is described here: http://p2002.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21

Every time I attempt to create a game account from the main p2002 page it redirects me to the forum. (Yes, I DID log in already on all of the browsers)

EDIT: Got to a create screen on firefox but it only asks for Username/Password. When I press submit it says I need a valid email.

EDIT AGAIN: Now it let me do it. How fun.

So, am I doing it wrong? I'm extracting the files now.

Ugh. Got the client launched but my window is off the screen... How do I move the window? Alt-tabbing takes it out of my control...

have you tried ctrl+shift+r? that should free up your cursor so you can drag the window

Save yourself some time and delete the eqw.ini and eqclient.ini files, and you will get to configure it from scratch. Also check the PC Installation guide on our forums for recommended settings in your eqclient file, once your new file has been created by the game.

This probably isn't fair at all... But I logged in and decided to try three boxing. Rolled shaman, sk and wiz. After about an hour and a half of getting each character their guild chest, finding the PoK, soul binding in steamfont it was time to fight. Rolled into the steamfont newbie area and... Dead. Kobold shaman patrolling. Very red. Got everyone back together and wandered back in that direction, this time I found a nice low level kobold runt. Tagged him and brought him back to the shammy and wizard. Got a few good hits in, switched to shaman to melee... Kobold shaman shows up. Dead.

Drop the wiz box and decide it's too hard to roll three deep. Go back to newbie area. Go to opposite side of the area. I find a decaying skeleton. Excellent. Engage him, switch to shaman. Kobold shaman. Dead. Rage quit.

Since freakin when are there red wandering mobs in the steamfont newbie area!?! Grr.
