Two-Boxing

[Kevlar]

Funny I've been handed more gear and buffs on EQMac, a server where everyone boxes in a week than I was handed on P1999 in over a year. And I'm not talking shiny brass shield either. This is dragon loot.

Regularly people run by with buff bots in tow and stop to throw buffs at me from all 3 toons with me never saying a word to them. Its a far cry from the stone faced level 60s in ECT on p1999 who rarley even acknowledge the buff beggars exist.

Well sure, it's easier to give away loot when you can farm it all by yourself. It's also easier to buff everyone who asks for it when you have C3.

The guy who posted about banning someone got banned.

If you want cleric buffs, find a cleric to group with.
If you want enchanter buffs, find an enchanter to group with.

Buff bots, free loot, those are all horrible things.

Yes, and sitting LFG for two or three hours is a wonderful way to spend an evening.

Instead of sitting LFG, why not form a group?

It's cool that you're having fun on EQMac, but I doubt there will ever be boxing here.

Instead of giving advice when you play three solo classes, why don't you start an untwinked melee and try leveling up to 20? I don't have a problem with the server rules here, I just never understood that one, especially when people boxing get perma-bans but known exploiters/cheaters just get wrist slapped.

Because I don't want to play a melee.

Enjoy EQMac. I genuinely hope you've found what you're looking for.

Ok this conversation made me laugh. The highlights and my thoughts on the points.

i can't tell you how many times this happened to me even on live in back in the day. I usually give up after 45 minutes if I can't get a group.

Ouch. I had to take a double take at Hitchens character list when this accusation was thrown. I've never considered Shammy to be a good soloist, but I guess with a Troll it's doable.

But let me get this straight: Two boxers get perma-banned but someone with constantly exploits or cheats doesn't? That's a bit rubbish.

Sorry, this sounded like a cop out to me.

One of my first characters on live back in the kunark era was a DE Warrior. Got her to 12 solo before things got too painful and I had to start grouping. It was actually hard getting groups with her too, probably because I was playing a race that wasn't "ideal" for the class. Well I didn't want to be one of the several hundred people playing Ogre, Troll or Barbarian. Min/maxing was never my thing. I like playing interesting combos where allowed and of course, I suffer for it but I accept that.

I've been on Titan a few times (had to reinstall because the custom spell file for p1999 makes playing on most other servers impossible), where boxing is not just allowed, its encouraged. I've turned down handouts from others while playing my Ranger because I wanted to experience it on my own. Technically speaking with my wife out of town I could box... but our computers are set up on opposite sides of the room, and I ain't rearranging my entire apartment just to try to two box on a custom server.

Point of the above, I didn't see a problem. But... not my decision to make.

Bottom Line: Whatever happens, I'm okay with it. Two Boxing being strictly disallowed on this server is the decision of the mods. If you don't like it, tough. As many have said before, they're not going to change their policies no matter how much you whine, bitch and moan about it. A cockamamie ideas like limited boxing slots to keep numbers up aren't just hard to code, they'd clog up the servers too much so likely not happening.

I've accepted it. Ya'll need to cowboy up and accept it.

TL/DR: Quit bitching, nothing's going to change. Accept it and be adult about it. Either deal with it or GTFO.
