Please Change the Two Boxing Rule

[zeik]

I have yet to play on P99 yet, only because i havent gotten my titanium yet. but when i do i will be surely playing and i honestly was hoping to 2 box. but after reading all the comments on this thread, i completely agree with NO 2 BOXING. i have been doing it for years with EQ and with other games, but they bring up very valid points. M

y person favorite reason is that it will make group with randoms less appealing, why look for a cleric when you can pull out your box.. why pick up that "questionable" dps. when you can pull out your own DPS that u know wont F something up.

Furthermore it also gives it the even more old school feel, i can count on 1 hand how many people i met on my first year or two of playing EQ on one hand that 2+ boxed

all said and done. i'll be there in T minus 5 days and with only one account... even though i have 2 internet connections at my disposal. i am not going to 2 box.

You tell me go play on a server that allows boxing, when theres no other server that's done what Project 1999 has done.

Thanks, I do not need to say another word.

Most of you don't know what doing this would do to the server, you are assuming. Most of the people who aren't complete egotists understand that the best XP groups in this game require a full group, not 4 people. All this will do is help that be achieved.

It's not assuming. Go check out Shards of Dalaya, at least 75% of the players there 2 box, and it really kills the feeling of the game knowing half the players are just bots. The only reason they allow it is because they were never able to reach a huge population like P1999. They consider it a necessary evil.

Things are fine how they are.

You can take my quote out of context all you want, and you know what I mean by saying that, they are the only classic themed EQ server that is actually worth playing on. Its all good though my point was made.

Shards of Dalaya =/= project 1999 This server would gain more people imo if boxing was allowed, but its an opinion nothing more. I'll just respectfully agree to disagree.

Why would it be any different? Why would people not decide to 2 box when it gives you a huge boost in power, is extremely easy to do, and free.

dude stfu you said your side of things. Stop trying to smother everyone else that says this is a dumb idea.

You and few others want boxing
me and a BUNCH of others do want to play the server like the DEVS want it to be played.


there we go /thread

You think its annoying how farmed a lot of the good camps are see what happens when you make it possible for people to 2 box. 2 man box groups with certain combinations are much faster xp than most 6 man groups are, and thats all you'd see. I also don't know where youre getting this "I cant find 2 more people to fill out my 4 man group..." there're always at least 5 people actively lfg in any level range.

It's bad enough with all the power levelers soaking up tons of mobs in all the XP bonus zones, I'd shudder to think how much worse it would be with two boxing. The whole point of this server was to recreate the 1999 experience. Two-boxing was virtually non-existant in 99.

before Teeny gets all upset over someone telling him to STFU lemme explain why I HATE when people start crying about shit the Devs don't allow.

I was one of the first people to log on to Vallon Zek PvP server. The server was a 4 team ALL ITEM LOOT PvP + coin loot server. You could loot weapons, stuff from bags etc etc nothing was safe if it was not a no drop item. before you go into saying I prolly played a Wizard or a Mage etc etc I played a Cleric and I wore my gear.

Well it didnt take long for the pussy ass carebears to roll in crying and complaining about how they did not like having there weapons and shields looted. What did the Devs do? They coded in no hand loot.

Once the carebears won that battle they moved on to they didnt like how there bags could be looted. yep, Devs nerfed that too.

Then the carebears moved on to whaa whaa they didnt like having armor looted ..... so the Devs just gave up and made it coin loot only.


The point of all this was the server started out as full loot/coin loot pvp until people like you cried and got it changed and eventually the server died because of it.

really, dude ... play the server like the Devs tell you to play it or just gtfo
Sorry if I am being a dick, but it gets really old. This is a FREE server, why are you trying to change shit?

gonna go to bed before I hurt someones feelings lol


PS: I am actually an easy to get along with kinda guy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
