as a melee you need to be proactive when it comes to forming groups. find a healer and get to work. as a mage i always made my groups, i soloed maybe a few hours out of my 6 days played to 47. I remember one time in OT there was a monk LFG and me. ofc a mage/monk is a horrible duo but i felt bad for the guy so I just had him pull for me. people are willing to help push melees you just gotta look. boxing is lame and there are other emus that allow.

EQMac and EZ server both are big, popular boxing servers (does Hidden Forest allow boxing?). If you feel the need to do it go there. Both have forums and an active community so they are valid alternatives if boxing is your thing. But they will never be as cool as classic EQ imho.

eqmac is awesome and yes it allows boxing, those who with to box and have a classic eq experience should goto eqmac.

Totally agree, P99 has its own rules and on boxing (if I haven't made it clear already) I fully support banning of boxes to keep grouping opportunities as good as can be.

honestly, you just dont get it. If you have a group, and no healer, you really wana sit around and wait forever to find one? or someone says hey, i have a cleric i could bring to help keep the group going. same with shm, dps, tanks. your argument fails sir. sorry

I'll take you more seriously when you post on your primary forum account, not this troll one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

YOU don't seem to get it however, people don't see past themselves with boxing. There's plenty of us out there that don't want to box, and by keeping the boxers off the server it keeps a level playing field.

1. If you allow boxing you'll see an explosion in account sales.
2. As a by product, you'll see people PL'ing more frequently in places like Unrest/MM because they're levelling a character to sell (dicking on legit groups as we see already).
3. If you allow 2-boxing... is 3-boxing ok? 6-boxing?
4. Grouping is hard work from the mid-30s up to the late-40s, people WILL box to get around that. LFG time is classic, leave it as it is.
5. Every other EQemu server other than P99 allows boxing, feel free to enjoy those servers.

EDIT: EverQuest isn't easy, and it was never meant to be easy in the early days. Stop trying to make your own lazy life easier and play along with what the game was designed to do... as in force you to group up with others, make friends, and meet new people.

If you want easy, go and play a WoW emulator.

I wait patiently for the day they allow two-boxing. I will finally get to roll my Ranger/Cleric duo.

I also wait patiently for someone to give me a reason why TWO-BOXING (Not 3, 4, 5, 6, 26 boxing. LIMIT TWO.) would never work successfully.

Every argument against it is always something that could be prevented with RULES. Rules that would make them BAN-ABLE OFFENSES.

The argument that people would PL alts to sell... Well damn, selling accounts should be a ban-able offense in itself. Account sales were not classic, that shit would get you banned in a heartbeat.

Two-boxing takes a level of skill most of you pleb casual Everquest players just simply cannot handle. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sorry ill clarify: im not bashing the admin, gm's, or players. and if you'd read my post, 2 boxing max not 6. primary account? I didn't even know of p99 until fippy darkpaw progression server when i was in TL and i heard them talking about it on vent at raids or while poopsocking. My bard was zyon there. On the combine my monk was vanix, i was in FoH until they fell apart in velious then WI until GoD era. back further, vanix (monk) terris thule. is that good enough? no i am not a troll. I'm simply stating that i believe 2 boxing would not be a bad thing and trust me i've seen 5/6 boxers. I've also seen people drop their boxed alts for players mains. I've said nothing negative of p99. I think its great and im pissed i waited so long to play here. The server staff is great, the game is more stable than sony had it IMO. but alas yes, i would like to box an alt, sorry i disagree, but that doesnt mean im not going to play here on an amazing server, that replicates clasic better then sony could. that good enough for u sir?
EDIT: sorry, for your #2, that happens a good bit that ive seen.. in 4/5 days of playing.
also: wow is for little kids, i dont mind grouping, in fact i would rather group. sorry fact is, is that its very hard to find ppl who are on, and most that i have grouped with send me tells when im on. and no, im not crying the game is to hard. I know it will not change and there are other reasons and i simply stated that i didnt agree, gave some reasons.

I would report the dual boxers I group with more if the bans weren't so harsh. The really nice lowbie warrior that brings a slightly higher level druid to buff and heal his group doesn't deserve a 6 month or permanent ban, even if he is doing his part to hurt the server's integrity. Boxing is for sure bad for the server, but I would feel guilty if someone was banned for something comparably minor because I reported them.
