Yup. Excellent advice indeed. Me and the other 600-800 peak players missing seem to have taken it.

You truly are a moron. Stay gone

I think it pretty much boils down to this. Easy fix for those who want to box.

There is not a second version of P99, or any other server, that is Classic and also permits boxing. If you want Classic you have to come here. But you can't box here. People play here, obviously, because they want Classic EQ. I have never heard anyone say "Yeah let's go to Project 1999 so we can finally get level 95 and play Veil of Alaris content!". However, there is no boxing-friendly Classic EQ alternative. So anyone who wants Classic is stuck making the decision of which they want more, Classic EQ or the ability to box. Just like anyone that wants modern/closer to modern EQ has to make the polar opposite decision of what they want more, modern EQ or a server that prohibits boxing, since there is no modern EQ server that also prohibits boxing.

This is still true. When the time comes that there is a Classic server that permits boxing, your argument will hold water. Until then this is basically what you're saying:

Guy 1: Wish I could have some chocolate.
You: Here have a Twizzlers. It's a strawberry candy and not chocolate, but it has sugar. i'm going to assume that's the only reason you want chocolate is the sugar and not the distinct flavor of chocolate.

Guy 1: Wish I could box on P99.
You: Here, go over to PEQ. It's modern EQ and not Classic, but it allows boxing. I'm going to assume that is the only reason you're on P99 is to box and not the distinct feeling of Classic Everquest.

That being said though, it's been made very apparent a million times over that the devs here will not even consider permitting boxing in the slightest. Therefore people should just drop it, follow the rules or leave.

If boxing is something you want to do, there are several other servers for that- go to them.

If only there was one that went up to Luclin and stopped there. Then I'd be sold.

Eqmac is close.

Up to POP then frozen in time, and 2 boxing is AOK.
I have seen more than a few P99'ers there.

As for two boxing not being classic, once Kunark was out 6 months, it was not unusual.

Two boxing is classic, I recall my good friend multi-boxing as early as Velious (and I have no doubt it happened before). I myself could not two box due to my computer being barely good enough at the time to run EQ and not having a separate pc for the second box.

I think the part that is not classic is that multiple accounts on this server are free and everyone now days has the hardware available to multi-box without issue. "Back in the day" you had to pay for multiple accounts and also have a very potent pc (that most people probably did not have) or multiple pc's in order to multi-box, so it was not as practical or simple for most people to multi-box.

That being said, grouping is classic too (I would guess from experience that single-boxing and grouping was the more common play-style during the time period of classic eq). With boxing, grouping tends to be decreased as people can just avoid the lfg process and just play solo. With a server population the size of P99, it is possible (if not probable) that grouping would be reduced to unacceptable levels were players allowed to box, particularly given that anyone can have multiple accounts for free and every pc now days can run many copies of EQ at the same time.

tl;dr: I agree with you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I never looked into this because I don't have a mac. I really disliked planes of power, it just seemed to make things way too easy. I enjoyed luclin (aside from the inane key quests) even though it seems to get a lot of hate on these forums. I loved the bazaar and the spires.

I doubt there is anyone on the entire server that wouldn't donate 5 bucks to have a functioning bazaar in the EC tunnel.

I'd donate 10 to not have a bazaar. Uhh well looks like I gotta donate!

Because EconomyQuest is such an awesome game?

Because every single thing Classic did was amazing and my memories tell me it created an amazing feeling of immersion and that absolutely nothing put in Luclin+ in anyway was a necessary change or improved gameplay at all but in fact broke EQ and my opinion is law.





































I shouldn't have to warn that I'm being sarcastic.
