Has a second boxing server ever been proposed/considered?

Well I've answered this far too many times to do it again. A forum search for 'boxing', by me, should yield all types of results.

Daldaen, your argument(?) makes no sense. Completely unrelated topics.

Not related but both against the 'play as a community' mentality. You want people to interact with others but selling characters for plat just encourages people to PL their friends alt account to 50 and sell it.

One also eats up a lot more server resources. ie: Costs GMs more money and the other has no adverse affect.

It's not just an issue of forced interaction - people are allowed to solo if they want after all. The issue is about actively impeding the ability of others to group where they want, not to mention utterly destroying the raid scene. I know that the raid scene already isn't perfect, but imagine how silly it would be if guilds could legitimately six-box on raids.

As for making another server for boxers, if the devs feel it's not worth their time, that's enough of a reason not to support it.

I mean just look at the other servers populations that do allow boxing... even with the boxes they don't come close to P1999. And in this day and age, it is a lot easier to make friends with people in-game who can help you out I feel - hell, just post a LFG in the general chat on this very forum and you will probably get some responses from people who play in your timezone/free-time. Either way, it makes it feel more like what I remember playing back in ~2000 than any other emu server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fair, just limit to 2 box then? 6 boxing is lame everywhere, when you have a self sufficient group and can poopsock the most desired camps by yourself. But I don't think a 2 box of 2 level 60s could hold crypt or disco or myncoids or any of the desired camps from Kunark that a solo class can't already.

No boxing ever. and if they made a second server thats going to split the population and ruin the whole thing. Its just an overall bad idea.

I don't think he has really thought it through. He is having difficulty finding groups...today. With boxing allowed, later he will most likely complain about not being able to find a place to XP or never getting a camp he has been after for the past month. It can be boring to only have one toon and camp stuff. You have more to do if 2 boxing and you can single handedly camp certain places. But so can everyone else...

How about we just keep it at 1 box per person and call it a day?

[baalzy]

If 2 boxing were allowed, I'd do it.

But I'm also okay with it not being possible and it's not so important to me that I'd be willing to fight for it.

Think of all of the boring camps that would be perma-locked. You could drop your 2nd box on the AC spawn point, and lock it up forever. You wouldn't do this if you only had 1 box, because you aren't really playing the game, and that would get boring. But you could plop a 50 mage on it, and never move.

Or the Bilge spawn. Or one of the VP key mobs. Or any greenie named camp. You get the idea.
