Boxing kills the game. No thanks!

only if you lead a vapid, vacuous empty existence outside of the game and only seek contact with sentient beings in avatar form.

I'll never understand you people that cry heresy unless behind each character there is only 1 human being.

do you really have to sit in your dark, dusty dank room, look at your group mates and think to yourself, "5 other real humans have accepted me in their group, i'm a valid human being!"

so sad

boxing is as classic as everquest gets, in 2001 i was boxing 2-8 accounts at any given time. back in that time, there was no MQ2, it was all alt-tab and my lightning reflexes.

maybe you all just lack the cranial processing power to manage multiple characters at once, you have to think fast, move fast, click fast. Be ultra-creative with macros.

but you all really just want to sit there, and stare at the same window, the same character, pressing the same 3 keys, over and over, hour after hour

TL;DR Playing only 1 account is fucking boring.

Classic everquest would try not let you out of full screen and lock up your mouse. 2001 is the tail end of what project 1999 represents. When was alt shift r added to the game? I feel like you had to use software to box, even if not mq2...

Perhaps allow post sleeper waking boxing at most.

Lol what does that have to do with real life?

Brain power playing 8 accounts? More like Go macroquest2 cheater rofl. Great job on using "macros" lol.

I love the social aspect on p99, it makes groups so fun. Boxing ruins so many things in eq it's not even funny. One right off is need for druids and clerics helping people because everyone would just load their own bot.

Boxing is in my opinion what killed EverQuest /nod. I'm very glad it's not here and I hope they continue to ban boxers /nod.

Anyone who says they played 8 toons is 100% using macroquest2 /nod.

Boxing didn't kill Everquest. Everquest killed everquest. It failed to adapt to it's changing audience. Look at the most popular MMOs today. WOW, FFXIV, Runescape. All of them permit some level of boxxing, have zone instancing, and all around Much higher quality games in everquest ever was.
I find it, so funny when the P99 basement dwelling Hipster's like to bring up how popular this server is. By comparison, P99 is like a drop in the bucket for MMO player counts. It's really not very popular. It has a lot of turnover and Quite a few jaded players that leave to play better games.
Please stop posting comments unless you good solutions that actually work. There's a reason Modern MMOs implement a lot of these mechanics into their games. They actually work. There's a reason why the most popular MMOs are absolutely nothing like P99. It's because this style of MMOs doesn't work anymore in the current gaming community.
And don't bring up fucking Pantheon please. That game will never finished. and even if it ever does. It's probably going to suck. Just like Vanguard.

The only thing i'll agree with it is that it's fun upping the stakes and trying to take down a hard camp while alt+tabbing through a bunch of accounts rapidly.. it's what i was doing on the EZ server for a while.

That being said, you're revering yourself as a god gamer because of... a capability to alt tab and press a button and then tab again lmao, which just really isn't the case. Jesus christ you sound like a buffoon.

And ultimately, in 1999-2001, probably 3% of EQ players had the ability to box. My father had two computers in his office that both ran EQ, and still exclusively played his only toons. It's definitely not classic, and it DEFINITELY would weaken the social aspects of this server (The strongest part of the server) if boxing was allowed.

File under resolved.
