This server is very amazing and yet very disappointing at the same time

I found it really interesting that a lot of replies in this thread started off pretty much like " It's classic, if you don't like it, go somewhere else ". I couldn't help but laugh when I read those, since I did in fact box in classic, and it was not against the rules. So can we stop with the whole " 2-boxing isn't classic " garbage? There are pro's and con's to it, some want to 2-box, a lot of people seem to despise it, but that doesn't change the fact that it was not against the rules on live.

Now since it IS against the rules on this server, obviously don't do it (or face the consequences WHEN you get caught).

I can guarantee FAR more people 2-boxed during Classic-Velious era than those who sold accounts for platinum.

Classic or not, boxing discourages player to player interaction and should be discouraged.

if you wanna box just play ftp live. i mean you guys are here to kill pixels not pvp so why u trying to box anyway.

[Hitchens]

Because people here to kill pixels are at least here to play the game, unlike those who are simply here to post about EVE Online.

Let me first state that I really do enjoy this server, I feel it is one of the last bastions for what MMORPG's used to be. I am thankful to all those who put the work in make it all possible.

I personally wouldn't mind a max of two boxing. Back in the day, I was fortunate enough to have a household with 2 comps/phone lines capable of playing EQ with. I would play shaman/cleric and join groups all the time, worked very well.

I've been on servers where people multi box and use MQ2 to get toons to do all sorts of automated crap. THAT is the real problem behind boxing imo and perhaps could be the real cause for disdain towards the whole situation. However the dev team does know how to find MQ2 users so any fear of that being a possibility, even with boxing limited to 2 max, can be avoided. I find it hard to believe that a person with control of just two characters instead of one would cause such havoc.

I theorize that allowing 2 boxing would allow the leveling base to spread itself out a bit more. More groups, more zones seen while progressing up. I can of course see scenarios of power leveling, duoing teams, but frankly if the ability to be power leveled by their own high level toon is the motivation it takes for a player to create a low level toon, they most likely would not have had that toon there to group with you anyway.

As for people complaining about camps locked down 24/7, they are already, and one of the hottest commodities, Fungi Tunic, is already able to be farmed solo. A point must also be made that this world is very vast, and the population is still rather small. Even on high traffic times there are zones with plenty camps to be had that are vacant.

And of course, even if it was allowed on the server not everyone will two box. Groups will still be formed, perhaps more of the lesser filled roles healer/tank will be filled more easily.

Grouping with boxed players isn't so bad on EQMAC. I even had people drop a boxed toon from a group to let me join in. I just think the player base here would take it to the extreme and do all the bad things.

[LizardNecro]

I would leave this server if it was a 2 boxing server. I find boxing ruins groups.

They don't last time I checked and who wants to play daoc anyway? It failed for a reason.
