Like whats the point... It feels so annoying to do
Trying to 6 box on 2 pc's in 2002 without a 3rd party software to manage the dps classes(or any other class) was a challenge. Trying to keep my alt tabbing in order in my head as I'm firing hotkey after hotkey.

Now imagine playing 3 characters while you're watching your AI tank get healed by your AI healers while you run 3 other classes. Much less challenging. Less endorphin release when you don't wipe.

There is a difference between then and now.

I tried giving live EQ servers a shot about 8 years back. I didn't know how to play my character after getting some damned "catch-up" level-up to 85. There were too many options on the UI for me to decipher. Too many AA's. Too many zones with not enough players in them. There was something called dailys that I had to do but didn't understand.

I felt like an old person learning to use the PC for the first time. It was scary and I wasn't having it. There is just too much damned "catch up" to do. No thank you. I will stick to P99.

Haha I got hooked into it on live at one point, I ran a party of 6 with MQ2 (dont worry im not a hacker someone who had a subscription to it was showing me how, because I was trying to box 3 characters manually and that was as much as I could handle and he introduced me to the dark underbelly of live eq. I ended up gifting him my 6 characters down the road, he was a chinese gold farmer that lived in an industrial wasteland according to google maps, or so he claimed! ...Looking back I feel like he just recruited me to level up 6 characters for him to sell but oh well haha.) but I'm not even sure I think MQ2 is like legal on live now? Idk.. but boxers all use it, no way they dont, I found every single person I was talking to used it on live at the secrets of faydwer time when I was playing... it's fun, but it is by no means everquest. It's a game about managing a squad of bots for sure.

It is nothing I would consider a "fantasy roleplaying game" its definitely more like a "bot AI machine game" like Factorio lol

Never cared for running multiple characters, either. Just isn't fun. Playing EQ for fun....seems like an oft-forgotten notion by some elements of this community.

Imagine thinking a game that takes actual skill and physical ability is the same as pressing 5 keys a minute as you watch WW2 documentaries because you are a compete failure, all while slamming gamer fuel. Seek help

You seem to be confused. Making a post to degrade someone is what happens in RnF. RnF is that way ------->

This is where you make a post to add something to the topic of discussion.
