Multi-boxing with your friend's accounts

[Slave]

There are a lot of very good points in this thread. Most of them are anti-boxing. I witnessed PEQ server disintegrate due to this exact thing. The reason I started here was the population, and that seems to be much due to the ban on boxing. I wouldn't want to see that again, especially because it was so much harder to level here!

Nothing is stopping anyone from requesting an IP exemption. However just having an IP exemption does not mean you are granted immunity from being punished if you're caught multi-boxing.

There are always ways around any rules put in place, and if you're really that desperate to violate the rules in place so that you can have some kind of advantage over others while playing a game for fun, you'll find a way. And then when you get caught, we'll see a few posts from you down in Rants and Flames about how the evil people that provide you the server to play on have it in for you, and you're unjustly accused and those bastards! and all the other bullshit.

It's just a game, chill out, relax, have fun. If the game is too tough go back to live, or WoW or HALO or wherever you got your kicks before. The iteration of EQ here is complete with all the warts of the original EQ, if you could deal with it then, you can deal with it now.

You're not Kimmie, you're Tralina, why else would you have quit playing?

I agree there are pro's and con's and arguments for both sides. I believe there are legit reason to multi box as well as reasons not to. I don't necessarily feel strongly about either side of that argument. I run my own server and if I wanted to multi box I could do it there. I play on P99 today only because I don't want to give up all the time I put in there.

My argument was exactly that though ... I'm not arguing that's it's good or bad. I'm simply arguing that I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I've heard the arguments for and against. I just haven't heard anything that's secured my desire to support either side.

Nothing is inherently good or bad in this world, it's just a matter of perspective. Your support for one side or the other doesn't matter; what matters is the perspective and belief of the people who run the server and make the rules. They deem multi-boxing to be bad, and as such, any arguments for or against boxing are moot because they have clearly decided they don't want people boxing at all.

Thank you Amelinda for reading our posts and responding. I seriously must have been tired or something; I've seen people go to pretty insane lengths to cheat on, I think, every single game I've ever played.

Amelinda made an announcement, the point either sunk in or it didn't. There's nothing that can be said about 2boxing that hasn't already been said in a hundred other threads, and none of it is up for debate.
