Boxing

Because allowing boxing will drive all players to box instead of play socially. EQ is built on the concept of working together with others to achieve things, and boxing directly undermines that concept.

Players not interested in boxing will quit or not join a server that allows boxing, actual human player count will drop long term.

Maybe try playing with new players instead of finding ways to avoid interacting with others?

Having come from Vanguard, I can confirm that this is the case in a group centric game. Boxing was only detrimental to that game, and it would only be detrimental to this one.

I seriously wanna hear people's argument against boxing. I've never understood a reason not to have it.

I could run a whole group solo with no issues. I did it on live on one of the progression servers. I had program that let me cycle through toon keeping all on screen with the active large. Also allowed to send commands to all toons at once.

Id run around with 4 wizards 1 bard and 1 cleric. Do you really want to compete versus that? I won't be the only one. I did it on a far shittier laptop than my current PC so anyone can do it.

Oh, and thats just cause I wouldnt want to run more than 6 toons. Others would no problem. So you'd be instant killed if you, say, wanted to run one toon cause you actually want to play the game.

My main thing against boxing is it turns the game into more of a job. In order to compete you have to box, it isn't an option by any means.

Once again this is someone taking boxing as it was on live, which was of the unlimited variety. Like I said 1 or 2 boxes, how can it hurt the server? Oh yeah...it can't.

Keep dreaming, cupcake. Ain't no boxing going to happen on this server. Ever. In general, the community here has little regard for people like you who are so incessantly dependent on being able to pilot more than one character at a time. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would rather you never log in again than see staff acquiesce to your pitiful pleas for boxing and allow people to turn this server into 40-75% boxed characters.

Keep. Dreaming.

I mean that's fine, you retards can keep playing a shitty dead box. There is no end game competition, hell there's no end game presence except on respawn days period because of stuff like this.

I have no problem not playing this server, someone will eventually run another server where I can box and I'll be content playing with a much bigger population than this shithole.

Boxing blows ass. I personally hate boxing, and I cannot stand grouping with other people that do. You let the server box, and all of a sudden I have no option but to solo (since everyone is boxing and boxing blows my BALLS (in addition to blowing ass already)).

Then you end up with a situation where I am 1v4ing Samdancer, Samprancer, Samromancer, and whatever the fuck Sam #4 is called, making yellow text rain like it's going out of style. Next thing you know I'm fuckin banned for PVPing on a PVP server.

And that is why you don't allow boxing, friends.

vztz had 2 boxxing and the best pvp experiences around

Multi-boxing was never brought up. Having 1 maybe even 2 boxes doesn't do shit to the grouping or pvp state of a server. Because lets face it unless you've got a cleric in a super safe spot, you log off boxes for pvp because they're a detriment.

Hivemind sounds like he's running on an apple 2 and can't box himself.
