Enable 2-Boxing for Team99

[Supreme]

If you want to see a successful PVP server then you must allow boxing.

Not just two boxing...but as many characters as you can manage.

PVP is not for everyone. And in order for it to be fun i think that we should maximize the number of online toons that people can kill for maximum enjoyment.

I wont name any names but people have been doing it for months and months and not getting caught

Hint: VPNs

Not allowing people safe trades between 2 accounts while people box a full group is just ridic

I wouldnt duo over a full group, especially not with xp bonus incentive.

Just nice to be able to port etc at 2am while theres nobody around to do it

VPNs do not work with the login server using the same computer.

Even using virtual machines have its limits with MAC cloning/spoofing.

In addition they do have log "sentries" that detect when someone logs on with two characters from the same connection.

Ultimately anyone that does two-box ends up getting caught.

because it forces everyone to box to be on the same level. if i wanted to box id play live or some shit. one of the main attractions here is no boxing. also druid is one of many alts so not sure if serious. ive probably taken the boat more than most since i know how annoying it is to bother druids for ports.

play a warrior, monk, rogue as your main. No casuals can play a melee on a new server. Most players can not play a melee without being able to grind 8+ hours a day. Untill servers have 1+ year and people can twink a melee for an alt or PL shit is dumb.

Pass on boxing, with the crews rolling pre-planned+some when the actual launch date announcement comes out, there will def be a quite a few melee carried along in the process anyway. Those will probably be the same people who end up main tanking regularly ect. So it's not like progression of any sort is gonna be halted by one of you fucks pussing out and not rolling the war like you and everyone else knows ya should. Someone wants the glory. Earn it imo

dont think you understand the concept of teams, many years of garage boxes has dulled you to shit. funny the same people who trolled me for years when i asked about teams server are suddenly making rediculous suggestions. put boxing on red99, let the ffa server become more chaotic since that is what ffa is to begin with. dont cheapin the experience with boxing, that is all.

I like boxing but it really degrades certain classes... Like who would main a cleric when every one can 2 box one? Who will main a druid when every one can have a port bot? You say pvping two targets is easier, but not if my cleric is hidden away somewhere and I feel like being a fgt and running back to get heals until I win. Sam's example of double bolting is perfect as well... And any one can double box a wizard, double ice comet, and shablam your dead.

Now with that being said, I'd be FOR boxing if we can't keep a steady population of 400+.

Probably the best thing about boxing is that, from a server select standpoint, players are much more willing to try the server if they see 500 players when in fact its 250 2 boxing.

Raiding is also made available to even the smaller guilds via boxing.

Boxing also makes guilds stay smaller = more competition. If you get 15 people in your guild and they can all 2 box, they won't want to expand the guild any further, creating maybe 5 top guilds instead of 2.

Boxing also works from an accelerated server stand point. If we really want to catch up to Red99 then boxing may be a good idea... Raid mobs downed faster, leveling made faster, gearing made easier.

So put in boxing if we don't have an epic colossal population. If we do, keep it out.

Can't speak for others but I'd use two boxing to exp when no one is on and to help fill put exp groups when the crew is on with essential classes no one likes to play as their main.
