I agree conceptually that having a server without boxing is a positive thing. It creates interdependence, heightens the importance of relationships and reputation etc. But this is a 100 player box these days. The pop just isn't there to support the vision of classic eq. It's been almost two and a half years now, it shows no signs of passing 200 pop. Desperate times call for desperate measures. In all honesty what is the worst that would come from a two week trial of two boxing? Say its in the name of science. If it turned out to be a massive shit show then so what did you lose? A two week experiment on a preferred server box?

boxing will put the casual player that much more behind. having to run a box just to compete is retarded.

inb4 some dumbass says, ERMG its so ez to kill a boxer

it takes a special kind of stupid to say its easier to kill 2 players than 1. my druid cant even kill a buffed lvl 60s as it is (not enough mana), let alone 2 players.

hardly anyone boxed in classic. ya i know eldermoran was the first person to box according to him but when i played, i didnt know who did until late velious early luclin.

as for my paladin not getting to 60, blame the xp not the lack of boxing. shit im way to fuckin casual for hybrid penalty, fuck that.

whats harder to fight?

a mage with epic

or

a mage with epic boxing a mage with epic

hmmm, well according to the forums killing a single mage is harder because he is concreting on 1 char (lol this is eq, u need 10 apm to be masters).

if you guys seriously want to box, there are other servers that allow it. why ruin this one?

How would it ruin this one? When it would allow new players to get involved and play classes they actually like, instead of whelp roll a solo caster if you want to play on red... That seems to be the motto around here now a days...

You know, this neat concept of actually enjoying the game, instead of Random Newcomer101 "Id really like to play a rogue" its what I've played on live for years... Or a Monk,Warrior (I prefer melee's) Welp, sorry Newcomer101 your shit out of luck because unless you commit your life to the box and promise raiding at fucked up hours nonstop, there is next to 0% chance you will make it to 50 as a melee solo buddy, there just simply are 0 groups, and no low level guilds to join man, so even though you are a huge proponent of melee (and its what you prefer to enjoy with your few hours a night spare time) your forced to roll a solo class and level it up and get yourself associated with the "one guild" here and hope they like you enough to pl your next toon.....

Aka cya in about 5months on that toon you enjoy (maybe more with your playtime you listed... Few hours a night).

Think about it, don't be naïve.


Fixed this for you.

no boxing on a server with 50 people in a game designed for 1000+ is just plain and simply retarded

Killing boxed players is harder than killing solo players yes.

Killing boxed players is much easier than killing 2 players.

Simple as that.

If boxing enabled
Then everyone can box

It is fair.

It favors skilled players and young people with braincells left.

It hurts the economy, and player interaction. Over 50% of the players will not use boxing to help the server.

A small minority will.

This will not make boxing good.

But it would drastically increase population.

Lastly it would shift the meta-game into "how many chars can I box, or what combo of box griefs the best". Making the game less immersive and more dull for people who like mass pvp.
