Boxing

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Brevity

[Buhbuh]

from my experiences/ what i've been told, TZ and SZ were a little more merciless than the other two.

it seems like RZ had a very active community that wanted to combat "PKs" and anything that resembled PvP for no purpose other than to do it.

I think VZ's community had a pretty decent play-nice policy set in place (this was probably more to Defiant's benefit than anyone else, really).

Pandemonium, in a lot of ways, was ruthless.

I came back for like a week during the combined Zek time, and it seemed like everyone disliked <Hate> from SZ, because they played as dirty as possible to get that win. Though I'm pretty certain Pandemonium was all around, in numbers, gear and in skill, equally or more gifted than Hate at wrecking people. Hate just didn't have the players or the gear.

i was only a bystander by that point, but it seemed like ascending dawn, ancient dawn, and defiant weren't ever tested hard enough on their own servers to thrive in any significant way when it came down to a fight between all of them.

You nailed a lot of it, coming from TZ we were probably the most hardcore of the original 3. At the server merger I was playing with utanven/blaytent and joined ASD I think.

I remember a few occasions of walking into a zone and seeing 60-70+ tagged Hate members, so they weren't undermanned by any stretch. But they were definitely the most hated and defiant/ASD made it their job to stomp them into the ground pretty quick.

dead cause

nilbog thinks 2boxing = skynet robots taking over the eqemu for some weird reason, and will never allow it, despite the fact that highly visible people in the community do it daily and nilbogs hired staff turn the other way and ignore it

yeah from what i understood, it seemed like Defiant had the most gear, followed by PDM, then Ancient Dawn, then Hate, then Ascending.

did not realize <Hate> fielded that many people. that's a lot. that guild struck me as just a bunch of people who wanted to wreck shit and be on top, and they wore that motive on their sleeves, whereas PDM had much more of a quiet tact as far as taking over and crushing opposition went.

i played with blaytent and fistov a lot when i came back for a few weeks, too. they werent in ASD at that time, though. i had given my monk away before the merge, and some faggot renamed buhbuh to 'Slay'. it was so gay. hahahaha. i did have a fabled T staff though

When you came back I was fistov at that time probably. I played fistov probably the most between TRC cockblocking until the time he was banned (thanks hateraid :/ ).

But yeah Hate had a lot at the merger, but within a month their numbers dropped by half because of how bad they were getting stomped, or possibly bannings from mq2 warp.

Boxing blows ass. I personally hate boxing, and I cannot stand grouping with other people that do. You let the server box, and all of a sudden I have no option but to solo (since everyone is boxing and boxing blows my BALLS (in addition to blowing ass already)).

Then you end up with a situation where I am 1v4ing Samdancer, Samprancer, Samromancer, and whatever the fuck Sam #4 is called, making yellow text rain like it's going out of style. Next thing you know I'm fuckin banned for PVPing on a PVP server.

And that is why you don't allow boxing, friends.

vztz had 2 boxxing and the best pvp experiences around

[Knuckle]

Gms have argued for a 'classic' experience. mobs, drops, resistances, melee, etc should be. So should the population. Problem is, the population is very, very, low. That is not 'classic'. And never will be. That's why I wont continue playing. I can't bring myself to spend 3 hours looking for a group as a rogue simply so I can START to xp.

Voted yes. I 2-4 boxed my entire eq live career other than when i started on test. EQ is not a difficult game by stretch of the imagination and being limited to 1 character can get pretty boring.

Boxing is completely classic. 2 box limit would in no way hurt the server, it is fucking hell finding a port here most days. Would double the targets for pvp.

Boxing is really a big part of what made me enjoy EQ. Doing hard/tricky encounters by yourself, figuring out the macros and mappings to make your group the most efficient possible. Being able to port or rez as needed instead of relying on guildies stopping whatever they are doing to help you.

Will never happen here...for whatever reason...but we are missing out on a big part of our classic experience by not having it.

Voted yes because it might keep Azrael from quitting.
