yeah i never understood that mindset. as if nobody ever boxed in the "classic" era on live.

I boxed on live, and many many many others did as well. I was like 13 with 2 desktop PCs and 2 phone lines.

Multi-Boxing is 100% classic and 100% originally intended. (multi-boxers pay for multiple accounts, obviously they wanted this, otherwise the software would have locked you out after 1 login, yes this was possible in '99)

So you wanna play Solo thats it? There are plenty of people who single box on takp. There are also 3 boxers who seek out solo players for the 4th person group xp bonus.

For having alot more zones than P99, the Takp community feels tighter and closer, and alot more human. They don't put up with 10% of the shit that goes on here.

Frankly, playing 1 account is boring AF.

If we could only get a casual MMORPG, in which dying made you want to quit the game. Maybe then I could relearn algebra in the motivation to have the best castle.

But then maybe I could feel relaxed in compared, to you all non-autists, and play classic EQ with no boxing. Or at least someone who pays in some way for multi-boxing in a still admirable way. (Maybe not. Might be fiction. Elon musk?)

The best part about p99 and what sets it apart from every other emu server is that you can count on the fact that each character you see is a real person, not a bot on a secondary screen that no one is paying attention to.

How is this like at all a thing in gameplay? its 2021, we use 4k screens with 1440p windows, you can see them all at once lol.

Are you so lonely that you need to see the 100 players in EC and think to yourself, "Thats 100 real people logged on, just like me!"

Real Truth Bruh: A safe guess is that 25 of those 100 players, are boxing. One account is their legit one, thats the account that is sitting in kael, relentlessly spamming the track button, or rather, is using a programmable keyboard or keyboard script software to press that track button.

Their other account, the one that you see in EC, is connected to the server via wifi hotspot from literally ANY modern phone. What are the GMs gonna do, make everyone who logs on run figure 8s around the waterfall in unrest?

Harsh truth of the reality that devs cant admit, but i can, is that if multiboxing were rigidly enforced, they would only have a few wayward folks bothering to log on. but then it would actually be a museum. cold and empty. Why bother throwing a party if none of the cool kids will show up?

shit like RMT will get the GMs to come burn your house down, because that could make Daybreak come burn this house down.

But multi boxing? thats an ideological "MEH, we'll talk a big game, and post a few boxer ban vids on youtube, just don't be that shmuck who gets caught publicly and has to be made an example of."

Boxing is classic. I did do it in 1999, I should be able to do it in 2021.

Playing 1 account at a time is just boring, thats why i don't play p99 in any regularity anymore. Maybe you spend your downtime chatting with friends, organizing bags, tradeskilling, jerkin it or playing Everyone's favorite game within a game: Gems! Yeah, you can still do all of that with 2-3 windows up.

Me personally, I have never played more than 1 account on a p99 server. I have a sort of respect for what they are trying to do here. But when you pick and choose which classic or later or custom features you can accept, at that point you have crossed the line from a strictly canon museum server, to a custom EQ emulator. Thats what P99 is, Nilbog's Idea of EverQuest. It's not bad at all, but its not in line with their stated "mission".

tl;dr Boxing is classic. Players box on p99 servers every day.

The vast majority of p99 doesn't box and that's the best thing about the server. I'm sorry you don't like that, hopefully you find a fun server to box on.

" ... you can count on the fact that each character you see is a real person "

There are times where that very thing is disturbing.
