My point was that the more classic they make the server, the further from classic the gameplay gets. Ivandyr Hoops are evidence of that and had to be made not classic for that reason.

Could always start banning non-classic style game play.

Kiting PoFear - ban
Kill CT without clearing zone - ban
DA tank - ban
Hoop gank bosses - ban
skipping stone unlimited use - ban
Cothing to Trak ledge - ban
Killing Trak before lair trash - ban
dropping eye into wall for zone in warp - ban

Could be nice change of pace, but so many people would cry.

Maybe I just need to red.

The other day i waited 2 hours and 40 some minutes in mistmoor for a group spot because i could not find anyone willing to go elsewhere. The day after that, almost 2 hours.

I would like to say this is an anomaly. It's really starting to wear me down since I chose the absolute worst soloing class as my main and currently only character (rogue).

Play a couple of characters in differing level ranges.

Of course, doing this might end up turning your alt into your main, if you have a cleric or warrior.

What I have noticed lately, is a lot of "Duo" monk/shammy everywhere. I'd imagine they are boxing, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Just responding to the 'boxing' comments about people way back in the day on Live.

I did. I had a second computer I built and I purchased a second copy of EQ, and I paid for a character transfer. That was in PoP days though.

If that's what boxing is, then ok. But what I did was NOT illegal at all and SoE at the time had NO issue with me and what I did. Why you ask? Because I talked to GMs in game about it on 2 occasions and according to them, I was not doing anything wrong.

So, you used two separate computers, and that has always been allowed.

However for people using one box to play two accounts things weren't always so easy. This might have been fixed by the time PoP was out, but for a long time it was impossible to run two instances of the EQ client at once on the same machine. Or to be more accurate, it was impossible unless you used a 3rd-party program called WinEQ. And since any sort of 3rd-party program was technically banned, so was "boxing" two accounts on the same machine.

So "boxing" was both allowed and prohibited on live, depending on how many actual boxes you used.
