I'm personally against boxing for any reason, but I know boxing is an issue so I wondered if a shared bank slot might keep at least a small percentage of people from trying to box on this server.

I just cant see anyone taking the risk of getting banned to do a transfer

I think it would be an incredible waste of an account, but I've overheard at least two conversations while on the boat to Freeport that were about this very subject. Whether the people would actually box in order to transfer money and gear or not, I don't know. But the idea is out there regardless and I'm simply brainstorming a possible solution. The "that's not classic" argument is irrelevant considering there are plenty of non-classic elements on this server.

What's not classic is that none of my RL friends will stick with p99 with me. Dirty fucks.

I'm pretty sure it's because they can see us form the outside and are like dude, no...

interventions by RL friends for us all is imminent.

and that's classic.

Nothing more classic than getting your friend to play, giving him a full set or bronze of black iron, starting an alt to play with him, and then after a week he's gone forever

seriously. you need to find untainted people who have never played an mmo before to appreciate this game

I remember an old girlfriend of mine was into wow - I took that opportunity to re-install EQ to show her how awesome it was! Ill never forget the stink face expression she had on her face while she said, "ugh this looks terrible".

KICKED THAT ONE TO THE CURB!

in a way, i think one of the reasons why folks are generally so nice to newbies is that we are trying to vicariously experience their EQ virginity through them.

having actual new players around (double points if you are entirely new to mmos) makes EQ so much more fun for everyone. there aren't a ton of folks like that here (I think i recall a poll once showing only on the order of 5% of players here had never played EQ before p99. more if you count folks who never got to max level or played end-game in classic), but there are certainly more folks like that here than on live---for many many years now. p99 isn't perfect, but its the best classic eq experience anywhere.

Unemployed gamers seem to excel here as well.
