I think boxing is fine if you do something to limit it like locking boxed characters to a zone or giving a 3 minute window to box.

I had fun leveling 2 trios on TAKP but I did 99% of it solo with my boxes and that just feels bad.

Doing truly solo content on P99 is much more fulfilling and the option to group is always available.

+1 for the single box to PoP crowd.

Good points.

Most servers probably don't implement it because it requires snooping and enforcement that isn't native to eqemu.

This take reminds me of when everyone was clamoring for classic wow and the head of blizzard was like nah you guys don't want that you only think you do. Then they came out with classic wow and it was hugely successful.

You can solo without boxes... everyone here has a stable of characters, so don't tell me you wouldn't play on a 1 box takp server, cuz u would, and u would love it, and u'd be fighting over twink gear, and u can spam a character to 60 in like a week flat with a fungi tunic and two spikey kunark/velious daggers, even easier when plane of justice is open.

So,

don't tell me u wouldnt.

Cuz I know u would, cuz u do, or u cheat here.

I might even be able to put up with boxing if you could mouse scroll until then hard pass.

this makes no sense. very few single box. and the vast majority of EMU servers are PoP and/or later servers that have all tried various rulesets, custom content, etc. And none of them have flown far. The one thing common to all of them is - they havent tried 1 box only rules. Obviously the interest in a true box PoP server is rabid. I hear it all the time on discord and players who leave P99 arent leaving for WoW or even New World as much as they leave for... LIVE TLP servers. makes you wonder why Green has ironically damaged P99's playerbase population; P99 used to easily get 2k a night for many years. Now you barely see it rise over 1500. I wouldnt be surprised to see it drop further if a good 1 box PoP server launched.

sure people will play it

but do you think devs would want to start up a whole server for pop

and regulate it as hard as p99?

fuck no

it be a fucking nightmare

a single box pop server will never happen and even if it did it will be a disaster
