Primary reason I'm here is the boxing rule, not classic nostalgia.

I think the biggest issue would be people camping AC, pained soul, fungi camp in the background. Pretty sure there would be a 75 man line for AC camp

An interesting idea I had for a boxing server would be to assign a daily time limit to an account and then any accounts that log on from the same ip as that account shares that time. For instance, the time limit could be 16 hours. If you box, both accounts time limit becomes 8 hours that day, three box and it's 5 hours 20 minutes for the three of them and so on.

I wouldn't want something like that here, but it could be interesting as a different server to play.

I saw a complaint once like "ah I got banned for doing a transfer! I didn't affect gameplay at all GRR".. But the thing is with all these people you can't leave any gray area or it will be exploited. It's yay or nay.

Well my idea would be programmed into the server itself. Once the time ran out, you wouldn't be able to login on those accounts until your time bank was refreshed. Also, like I said it was just an idea for a server, nothing i'd want implemented here.

After reading your response, it's clear you didn't read the entirety of the idea before dismissing it anyway.

Sure I did.. What I am saying is.. If you allow legal two-boxing here, how much harder will it be to catch the illegal two-boxing over here.

Good point, but it's still an interesting server idea.

And not just those camps ^^ any camp that could be camped with fairly minimal effort would be forever gone since you don't have to dedicate any time. Raid in VP and pull king camp in the background.

Voted no thanks, I'd play somewhere else, but it's not true because this is the only version of EQ that interests me. So really, boxing would ruin the last bastion of playable EQ, at least for me. Not to hold the OP responsible for the millions of like minded threads/polls in the past, but can we move past the boxing issue? There are other servers out there that do allow boxing, and the powers that be on P99 - as well as the majority of the player community - have spoken out against boxing every single time.
