Totally agree, P99 has its own rules and on boxing (if I haven't made it clear already) I fully support banning of boxes to keep grouping opportunities as good as can be.

honestly, you just dont get it. If you have a group, and no healer, you really wana sit around and wait forever to find one? or someone says hey, i have a cleric i could bring to help keep the group going. same with shm, dps, tanks. your argument fails sir. sorry

I'll take you more seriously when you post on your primary forum account, not this troll one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

YOU don't seem to get it however, people don't see past themselves with boxing. There's plenty of us out there that don't want to box, and by keeping the boxers off the server it keeps a level playing field.

1. If you allow boxing you'll see an explosion in account sales.
2. As a by product, you'll see people PL'ing more frequently in places like Unrest/MM because they're levelling a character to sell (dicking on legit groups as we see already).
3. If you allow 2-boxing... is 3-boxing ok? 6-boxing?
4. Grouping is hard work from the mid-30s up to the late-40s, people WILL box to get around that. LFG time is classic, leave it as it is.
5. Every other EQemu server other than P99 allows boxing, feel free to enjoy those servers.

EDIT: EverQuest isn't easy, and it was never meant to be easy in the early days. Stop trying to make your own lazy life easier and play along with what the game was designed to do... as in force you to group up with others, make friends, and meet new people.

If you want easy, go and play a WoW emulator.

I wait patiently for the day they allow two-boxing. I will finally get to roll my Ranger/Cleric duo.

I also wait patiently for someone to give me a reason why TWO-BOXING (Not 3, 4, 5, 6, 26 boxing. LIMIT TWO.) would never work successfully.

Every argument against it is always something that could be prevented with RULES. Rules that would make them BAN-ABLE OFFENSES.

The argument that people would PL alts to sell... Well damn, selling accounts should be a ban-able offense in itself. Account sales were not classic, that shit would get you banned in a heartbeat.

Sold my Live account on a 3rd party website for about £100 ($150-160) around LDoN. Inevitably came back for a cameo which involved buying EQ again and setting up another sub, but account selling was more widespread than people believed.

If you allow 2-boxing, you're opening the door for the next bunch of whiners who want a full group setup...and I couldn't care less about account sales here but I don't want to see zones like Unrest/Mistmoore turn into PL perma-camp zones. If they allow it, there's a good chance it'll happen.

My whole point as to RULES were to prevent things like:
No self power-leveling.
No camping of two separate mobs at the same time.
No selling of accounts.
All boxed accounts must be flagged as being owned by the same person. (Similar to an IP exemption.)

With rules like this, and the player petitioning against people who break them, two-boxing would be a successful and beneficial addition to this server.

Two-boxing takes a level of skill most of you pleb casual Everquest players just simply cannot handle. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sorry ill clarify: im not bashing the admin, gm's, or players. and if you'd read my post, 2 boxing max not 6. primary account? I didn't even know of p99 until fippy darkpaw progression server when i was in TL and i heard them talking about it on vent at raids or while poopsocking. My bard was zyon there. On the combine my monk was vanix, i was in FoH until they fell apart in velious then WI until GoD era. back further, vanix (monk) terris thule. is that good enough? no i am not a troll. I'm simply stating that i believe 2 boxing would not be a bad thing and trust me i've seen 5/6 boxers. I've also seen people drop their boxed alts for players mains. I've said nothing negative of p99. I think its great and im pissed i waited so long to play here. The server staff is great, the game is more stable than sony had it IMO. but alas yes, i would like to box an alt, sorry i disagree, but that doesnt mean im not going to play here on an amazing server, that replicates clasic better then sony could. that good enough for u sir?
EDIT: sorry, for your #2, that happens a good bit that ive seen.. in 4/5 days of playing.
also: wow is for little kids, i dont mind grouping, in fact i would rather group. sorry fact is, is that its very hard to find ppl who are on, and most that i have grouped with send me tells when im on. and no, im not crying the game is to hard. I know it will not change and there are other reasons and i simply stated that i didnt agree, gave some reasons.
