Beware, this can happen to you to!!!

Can confirm wives do not play this game. My wife says Everquest is far too ugly.

We played Final Fantasy 14 together for a few months because she could be a cute cat lady.

Stop boxing or git gud at having a fake wife.

I believe I have grouped with you guys before in the past and never had the slightest feeling you were boxing. Seems like a misunderstanding during the boxing test. Hopefully you can sort it out with the staff.

Hey all,

Just wanted to share with everyone what happened to my wife and I tonight. My wife (53 Cleric) was PL'ing me (30 Ranger) in Warsliks Woods. I can see how this might look like boxing as my wife likes to play her tablet (Candycrush god help us!) and reach over and heal and occasionally buff while I pull mobs. So we got summoned to Estate to run the infamous fountain figure eight test which we have run twice before, with two different GMs, and passed. This time my wife was super nervous and we didn't get off to a good start. Plus because I state this would be our third time running this test, GM Menden did not give us instructions. The previous time was several months ago, so we weren't completely clear on the directions. Anyway, long story short, after running running a not perfect test, but definitely running what imo would be impossible for one person, my wife who, as I said was super nervous fell in the fountains and was having trouble getting out, so I stopped my pattern and went over to her keyboard to help her out. Within seconds we were banned no chance to explain nothing. I share all of this not to plead my case to any Project 1999 staff but to convey that this can happen to any of you couples who play out there and I'm sure it has happened. No recourse, no questioning, no further testing (the last two times we were given 2 and 3 different tests) which we passed. Menden made a unilateral decision based on an totally incorrect opinion and because of that the days of devotion to our characters (Silbo 51 Druid, Martenii 50 Chanter, Khardan 30 Ranger, and Uilani 53 Cleric) will be gone forever. The realization is quite earth shattering actually - Totally gone. So for you couple out there beware and make sure to head to Estate every so often to practice running figure eights around the fountains so when you get tagged you don't freak out like my wife did. Peace be with you all and check out Pantheon [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If legit, why post this to RNF? You pretty much just evaporated anyone (including GMs) reviewing your case now...

Got it - don't box, otherwise you'll get caught. It appears this wasn't the first time, as you're familiar with the process. I'm surprised it took this long for the RnF.

Please don't box on p99. There are several other emu's that actually allow it. Take advantage of them and enjoy playing an MMO by yourself.

Your wife was playing on a tablet? I'd like to see that.

In fairness, he said she was playing Candycrush on her tablet while playing cleric in EQ (presumably on a different computer).

I don't want to be totally biased, but I'd estimate only about 1/3 of the folks who say "their wife" plays EQ actually exists or does.

I'd also say that even if my wife existed and played EQ and we got an exemption that the temptation to never box would be too much for the average EQ player eventually. Just log her in a minute for buffs...a rez...etc. In the long run, most of the legit IP exemptions probably have at least some small violations going on imo. Its very cynical, but we've all played EQ long enough to know how folks are in this game.

Can't blame GMs for 1) trying to give benefit of the doubt in exemptions and 2) verifying multiple times in multiple ways whether you are boxing.

They gonna find you eventually...

fucking lol

good job GM's

[regandna]

They will likely remove your IP exemption and unban your characters, right? Just speak with them about it.

[Ripqozko]

just tell them its a very hard time of year, that should help.
