Why not create an additional server that is boxing friendly?

Yes, it's certainly on Rogean and Nilbog's priority list now.

I am not suggesting to allow boxing on the original server, I am suggesting to create a new clone that allows it. So far I do not see such suggestion on the board.

If the developers and admins cannot be bothered with the cost and effort for a new server in the beginning, regardless of any financial supporting from 'pro-boxing' crowd, then I have no say. But if it is something that doesn't bother them much and something they can consider about, then I don't see why the idea has to be resisted? If the new server only needs to get updated and rebooted the same way/time as the original server, I don't see much extra effort needed. Plus the players are playing with the knowledge that others will also box as well, so the queries will not be exponential.

As for cannibalizing the population of the original server, I feel that there will be far more new players joining who were originally put off by the idea of 'no boxing allowed' rule, than people on the original server migrating to the new server.

Plus, if the players who were forced to play 'one toon at a time' rule and see the opportunity to migrate to something that they enjoy more, why not let them? And if the experience turn out to be not what they wanted, they can always go back to the original server with their original characters. It's not like I am requesting for a character transfer as well.

EZ server is boxing friendly yet still gets well over 300 players most of the time.
.

Or does it get 50-100 players each playing 3-6 accounts?

Great comments all around. OP did in fact get graped. What we need now is for someone to:
- remove all posts except original, "no" from Nilbog and final comment by OP.
- use bold typeface, maybe comic sans font.
- sticky.

Good work all.

Yeah I did get 'graped' because Nilbog did not want to open such server. But it still does not explain why such idea would not be financially feasible nor give any reasoning that it would have any negative impact on the original server.

does not explain why --- nor give any reasoning

While I support boxing, I believe you are starting to (further) bark up the wrong tree here. My children, 10/8, continuously ask why when I say no and ask me to give them a reason. The simple truth is that they do not need to explain why, nor do they need to give any reasoning. The answer is no, and that is that. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Go onto live... You will routinely see one guy playing 6 characters with macro quest and what not. Not to say that means we should not allow boxing.. but that goes against harboring a community.

Once you allow boxing, it gives players the means to solo effectively on their own terms. You will see less grouping. Suddenly people will expect you to level 2 characters at once because why not? So the guy who doesn't want to box is now at a disadvantage because he doesn't want to switch between screens every 10 seconds.

Our community has 1200 players online at prime time. 1200! Without boxing, that is incredible. We don't need boxing because there is plenty to do without it. There are plenty of people to play with, and 0 reasons to have boxing.

To your question of providing a second ruleset server... Trust me when i say that a boxing server is destined to fail here. First, the community doesn't want it. Second, it will adversely affect the population of the existing server. Just what we need. Lets take our 1200 prime time and split it 600/600 because people will want to play a wiped server regardless of it allowing boxing. Then eventually it will settle at 900/300 or 900/200.

It's a meaningless endeavor to undertake because it does not provide any added value to this community.

I hope this addresses your concern of why not.

ps.

This doesn't even touch on the interactions between servers, cross server plat trades, new ruleset to create/enforce because it will create more problems. See the pvp server...there are staff members dedicated to that server. The last thing our gracious powers to be need is additional overhead and headache.
