Why all the Vitriol towards Multi-boxing?

Cos playing with yourself is for wankers.

I would like to take a moment to discuss a certain firebeatle with you.

Camps are locked down enough without letting people box.

boxing is awesome I like to get a vpn and run 2 pcs and train people with a box account while I try to help them with my main account but really my main is setting them up to get greifed over and over no matter how hard they try to escape.

PvP is the natural counter for boxing. Allow boxing and make all servers PvP with item drop.

To the OP, what does it mean to make progress in this game? You state that a new player can't make progress, that is as you know objectively untrue except if you are comparing them to some measure that you haven't or haven't yet stated. So let's assume you're referring to make progress in comparison to, then the question is in comparison to whom. Let's take a leap and assume that you're questioning how a new player can compete with current players, given current players on average have at least 5 years on the server. And likely the players that you're referring to have literally over 10 years. So ultimately we'll agree that your statement is regarding newer players being unable to complete with people that have put in over 10 years of effort. Got it, great. So great, just the greatest

Actively use who all <insert level> and it's not that difficult to form duos and trios. There's even a LFG section on discord and cheap, overpowered gear to help when soloing is the only option.

Why does everyone get so Upset about Multi-boxers?

The no-boxing rule is actually probably one of the top reasons this server has such a strong population. Single-boxing forces most players to rely on each other, compete with each other, negotiate...interact with each other. Relationships and reputation with other players are top resources. Allowing boxing would change that. That environment is a big part of why people have chosen to play here.

That and mouse-wheel zoom.

So it's not that people on P99 despise multi-boxing "just because it's against the rules." That's kind of backwards. Rather, those rules are the reason the P99 population chose P99.

If you want to find a population open to multi-boxing, they'd have gone to Wayfarer's Haven or TAKP.

I think a Fundamental Flaw of P99 is to assume that somehow the "Old Ways" are the Best Ways. This is really just a Niche server. It will never been anything more than a small, broken, barely functional server that is trying to emulate an old game from more than 20 years ago. The majority of changes here are not even "Classic". Boxing is Classic Technically, but not allowed here.
This server sucks. Anyway, I'm honestly tired of arguing this point. No one here seems to offer a reasonable argument for why boxxing couldn't fix some issues here. Ultimately I'm just not having fun on this server anymore. I can't get a group consistently when I play, and even When I finally do atleast once every two weeks, the groups sucks ass. I assume this because they are boxxers in different servers, zones, and were powerleveled by a Vanquish Bard AFK, or RMT to get there account. Who the fuck knows.
In conclusion, I'm not having fun anymore. This server sucks balls. I'm gonna peace out and head for TAKP or Maybe TLP.

Have fun on TAKP!
