I never really understood the totalitarian stance against 2-boxing here. EQ is not a solo friendly game, and on a server with low population, one that takes away even a smidgen of the noob friendliness of later expacs, its even more unfriendly here.
I can understand the part about how 2-boxers ruin games when taken to extremes, ala Sam Deathwalker, but that guy was nothing more than a sad joke. The fact is melee players are screwed on P1999 at the mercy of LFG and the charity of others. I don't know exactly what the server makeup is, but I bet a very large portion of it is mages, necros, and druids just because of the impossibility of soloing a melee. I tried a bard, the easiest melee class, and even that is a royal pain. Most people who I played with on live who had a melee class boxed a shaman. Its just how it was. Shaman group very well with wars, sks, and monks. It didn't stop these guys from forming groups, it started the core of many groups, and if the group filled up the boxed shaman would just be boxed out of the group for extra heals or slows or whatever was needed while all the mains got xp. With the IP exemption thing it would still keep down out of control boxing, you are only allowing one exemption per account, at least that is how I think it works. It would be a lot easier to form groups of 3 boxers than it would to solo a warrior to 60. Just my 2cp on the issue. | ||

First law of human MMO behavior: If it is perceived as solo-friendly, you will solo. Not group. It's the reason any other MMO out there has no need for grouping. It is a big part of why people don't say 2 words to each other, or get to know many players through their characters any more. Boxing is the same as mercs, and supposedly for the same rationale. Quote:
Now if by n00b friendliest, you mean "easy fights, no penalties, overpowered gear, soloable or mercable, no class interdependence/socialization for travel or economy" then I guess later expansions would be all that. If you think those are normal traits for EQ to have, then you should play on live (or Fippy to pretend to play classic) - those are the antithesis of why p99 was made and who mainly plays it. --------- Btw, I hope when they check for boxing, they check machine ID and not just MAC address of network cards, since you can have 2 clients on the same machine using a different card. But also checking to ensure different machines means they would have to fake using a VM or really have 2 machines, and boxing usually isn't done acrss VMs or machines. Legit people always play on diff machines; boxers almost never do (other than VMs maybe if they knew machine ID was being checked). If you can detect physical host machine ID, even better to not be fooled by VMs either. | ||||
