I am surprised at all the hate. Maybe if some of you guys stopped hating on rangers so much, i might not be wishing for boxing allowed on this server.

I think boxing any more than two characters is retarded, as it removes the social aspect of the game.

There isn't any issue of people boxing all the content by themselves by only allowing two characters at a time. As well as not allowing people to camp more than one thing at a time.

Lastly, the community here is just so great. I mean look at the warm posts in this thread. I really wish i could find more of these nice people everyone talks about on the forums to new players. Or is that just a lie everyone tells to get new blood?

It's not really about hating on boxing exactly. When I started out here I didn't really understand it either, but after spending some time playing on EZ where you MUST box to get anything done, as grouping up with other people is fairly rare, it's easy to see how it could lead to completely changing how P99 goes.

I mean sure, it probably wouldn't get nearly like it is on EZ, but it's still really easy to imagine the impact it would have.

God i was crossing my fingers, but i really doubt that will happen.

(As a side note, i only want to box because my ranger ass doesn't get groups. 20 Ranger LFG!)

I played Shards of Dalaya (a different EQEmu) for about a year before finding p99. The rule there is you can 2box but cant 3box. At the high end, not too many people boxed anyway so it didnt really matter, but just as people here have described, it completely rapes the low to mid game. Any zone where people would goto level was deserted aside from a few duo's boxing. While that may be fine and dandy for the people boxing, it also presented the problem that the high end was absolutely full of Tanks and healers, but no dps. The reason? Everyone boxed a cleric/druid/shmmy and a warrior/SK/pally, just due to the simple fact that leveling a DPS took 4x as long. It really just presented more problems than it helped address, and as a side effect depleted the population.

and regardless, i dont think anyone remembers their classic experience as abunch of horridly played duo's sprawled across norath.

There's a reason for not allowing 2/3/4-boxing on P1999.

Let's keep it that way.

This whole entire premise of this post makes no sense.

Firstly - Your train of thought is totally unclear, and wrong.
Second - You want them to ban people for cheating, then change the rules about cheating so you would be allowed to cheat?

You really are dumb.

I was hoping they would ban the accounts, then all those people would want to roll new characters on R99.

Just keep saying NO to boxing. How anyone could use the recent suspensions as a segue to "Let's allow boxing now!" is beyond my small brain.
