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.

Just saying alt tabbing 6 instances of eq on one machine doesn’t gel with what i remember for 2001

I could barely log in let alone stay connected even with ISDN.

Kunark barely ran on my machine. And I didn't have 3 computers.

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.

P1999 doesn’t exist to be popular.

It exists to be online experimental archaeology.

You’re not a customer, you’re an undergrad student on Time Team.

[Naethyn]

You are likely here because your 'old' server allowed boxing and it sucks. No one here wants it. Make friends.

[Ooloo]

I love when people come to p99 and go "ya know, people LIKE all the stuff that almost everyone is here to avoid!".

You mean I could play WoW instead?? I had no idea. It's almost like I don't want to for a very specific reason.

Also lol at the idea that playing 6 characters at once is somehow less sad than simply enjoying a group of real people.

LMAO yes this, we are the sad ones for wanting to play a game with actual people vs macroquesting a bot army playing with ourselves [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
