Ever a chance of allowing double boxing?

I'm not a proponent either way, but I'd like to hear how it hurts the community.

Easier for single-person farmers to monopolize spawns.

For every boxxed class in a group there is one live person of said class who can't find a group.

Less social interaction.

I don't really care for 2 boxing, though it makes item transfers somewhat exciting, and hazardous, but I can deal with that.

My personal opinion (and somewhat off topic), but if boxing isn't allowed; shared bank should be.

Didn't we just have this exact same thread with a guy who insisted that he had to play a warrior for short periods at unusual hours, couldn't possibly make any new friends and absolutely had to two box a grouping class?

I'm calling shenanigans. This is a troll. It is pretty obvious that the success of Project 1999 has more than a little to do with not allowing boxing. There is no problem to fix here. Indeed: imagine prime time with the same number of people and twice as many characters trying to fit into the classic dungeons.

Yes, original poster, you can consider this a flame. You are either intentionally trying to start an argument or else you are so ego-maniacal that you expect the community to adapt to your needs without ever learning a thing about the community. Your post makes it obvious that you don't play here and you haven't spent any time at all reading our forum.

There are many EQemu servers that will let you box characters. Since you have no intention of grouping or making any friends, it doesn't matter where you play and that should work out fine for you.

I could see your first response being valid if the server was full.

Your second response isn't valid, at all. Read this thread, everyones suggestion was "to play a solo class". Unless you are a proponent of forcing people to group, too, and not allowing anyone to solo?

Response #3 fits in the same mold. If they want to solo, they are going to solo with or without 2 boxing.

While I don't care either way, the "result" of allowing 2 boxing is severely overblown by the users.

All I have to say is look what happened on PEQ. Is that an indication of something being severely overblown?

And now anonymous guy with low post count is backing up other anonymous guy with low post count. This is a troll.

Many people are here for the classic / progression aspect. Other servers don't offer that. I hear people say "if two boxing were allowed, I wouldn't play here." I wouldn't necessarily call them out on it, but I don't think there are many here that are here because this is a single-box-only server. If that was the case, that'd be a key selling point of this server, and would be highlighted on all the descriptions. Instead, it's not even a subtitle.

No, people are here for classic. Certainly no boxing feels more like classic than everyone boxing. However, there's nothing classic about 100-person server populations in the early hours.

I dont think grouping is that horrid late at night. You just have to unite the players of similar level that are already on and get it going. I'm a warrior which is a pure group class and I have spent plenty of time LFGing on prime time only to get some of the best groups I've ever had 12-8am PST yeah crazy hours, but isn't that euro hours?

I've also had times when I log in, pop into my dungeon of choice and there is a solid group of 6 having fun and im the 7th man out, time to play an Alt. I think this can happen any time of day and with global OOC you can play your alt and watch and see if anyone needs your main character.

If I wanted the game to be easy I guess I'd be playing WoW or Xbox. I also would not mind shared bank for transfers. I think Dual boxing is bad for the game but being able to move items freely between alts would be very nice. That's a different subject and not classic at all, but oh so convenient.

1) Have you seen dungeons during prime-time?

2) Player A 2Boxes War/Cleric
Player B 2boxes Rog/Ench
Player C 2boxes Monk/Wiz

3 people...full group...3 other people who play any of those classes don't get into group.

Extrapolate this across the whole server means more spawns/camps taken by less real people...did I really need to explain this? No. Did I just get trolled? Probably.

3) Less social interaction is not solely defined by grouping. Read: OOC chat, Trading etc.

Well...until we have a declining server population, and a general consensus for allowing boxers...it ain't happening.
