That aside, it sounds interesting. If my concern gets addressed, i will probably try it.

There is an experience penalty incurred for boxing.

It's also worth knowing that the game is designed around people playing 1 character, and the players who only play 1 character have historically always had the advantage over the boxers, because of the inherent focus on playing 1 character. There will never be an advantage to playing more than 1 character at a time because of the way progression works on Sanctuary. If you were to look at our leaderboards, you would see that the people who top them are the ones who do not box.

To put it simply, this is a game about defying the expectations people have with EverQuest (which this very much isn't) and emulated servers in particular. A great deal of effort has been put into taking these tropes in everyone's minds and completely subverting them.

sage is so good, gets amazing sage only items and no one plays them so they just rot. Boxing is not a requirement.

Shame it allows boxing

I would just like to point out again that this game was designed around people not being able to box to gain benefits over those who don't box. I'm highly familiar with the whole stereotype of people rolling up mage groups or whatever and steamrolling things, or needing to box to succeed in games, particularly low population emulated servers. Everything's been built to break that stereotype. That won't matter to some of the people who are vehemently anti-boxing, but it should be known that much has been done to break any and all stereotypes and tropes with these sorts of things.

This is at its root a game about defying stereotypes in gaming.

And I call it a "game" and not a "server" because it is not an EverQuest Emulator server. It's a new game built within the EverQuest engine, powered by EQEmulator. Everything anyone thinks they know about EQEmu servers has been intentionally subverted and flipped on its head.
