Yeah, the wife and I weren't married yet in 1999. Classic is "girlfriend."

My own personal rule on P1999 is simple enough; I don't go near the wife's computer when we're both logged on. If she goes AFK, her character sits there--no buffs, no heals, and if someone trains then she gets killed and finds a rez. It's all the easier for me since our PCs are on opposite sides of the room anyway.*

P1999's community has something of a witch hunt mentality with respect to boxing, but the witch hunters tend not to be so clever as they think. My wife and I received plenty of silly accusations from self-appointed internet sleuths when we played our characters that shared the same surname. Surprise, surprise--none of these Poindexters ever say anything to us when we play characters with unrelated names. I suspect a few of those player allegations are actually motivated by buried jealousy: lonely, single nerd types lashing out at folks who aren't equally as alone. Odds are most of them are just paranoid.

The server GMs, on the other hand, seem to take things seriously. We've never had a bit of trouble with them (quite the opposite, we tend to get along pretty well with any GMs we meet). In three-plus years here I've never had a negative interaction with a staff member.

*I recall one occasion circa 2003 where the wife was AFK, someone trained, and in a rush to get to her PC to save her character I frantically jumped out of my chair only to hook my foot on the leg of my desk and faceplant myself. Didn't feel too good. P1999's strict rule gives me better occupational safety.

People seem to be getting just hostile lately with false accusations. My girlfriend and I were accused of boxing when I was helping her Warrior level up to my Druid in Unrest yard (I was level 23, we're not talking serious PL going on). No AF, both running around, both speaking in /say and /ooc, basically they were accusing us just because they were claiming that yard trash was a claimable camp now and we were intruding.

It's hostile to send you a tell while your sitting, and then wait for a response while standing in front of you, while your "g/f" was running around?

In my experience, the sides of Unrest are recognizable camps by the players on P99. You chose not to play nice. My group of SIX players had been in that area when you decided to move right in and "PL your g/f". I called you rude, which you were. I didn't bother GM's with a petition.

Odd how your "g/f" had to log out too when you went to get the earring to sell. Maybe she was just done for the night, right?

In my opinion, a defensive post in this thread is admission of guilt.

Carry on.

People even mentioning AF, similar names, and late heals being signs of boxing have zero clue how EQ is played.

These things have zero to do with boxing, especially on a server where boxing is not allowed.

By the way, to the genius that mentioned late healing, (on maybe page 2 or 3,) in general healing gets much tighter when you box. Think about it...

Instead of petitioning people you believe are 2 boxing, how about you all just play the game...
